Managers Report

We now have pool covers on the pool. They are cut in 3 sections for ease of use. Please after removing the cover(s) for pool use put the covers back on the pool. Especially if you are the last one in the pool in the afternoon or evening. As the morning pool users will tell you…it really helps keep the pool water warm. Thank you.

Please check your homes..all sides..for need of power washing and have it washed. Thanks.

Dogs/Cats Reminder… Dogs are to be on leashes at all times when outside your home. Please remember to scoop the poop! Your cat is also to be on a leash when outside your home. There have been quite a few complaints about cats running around day and night. Thank you.

All the “new” gate codes are in the system. All the “old” gate codes have been deleted.

Would whoever „borrowed‟ the LHV NO PARKING sign by the back gate empty lot please return it! Vacant lots are not to be used for „residents‟ parking unless permission has been given for short time parking. Also, please do not park in vacant „homes for sale‟ driveways.

Garnet is the birthstone

Snowdrop and Carnation are the flowers

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and November;

All the rest have thirty-one,

Excepting February alone

Which hath but twenty-eight, in fine,

‘Till leap year gives it twenty-nine.

February can test our patience and endurance, but it also brings us a myriad of gifts. St.

Valentine's Day, celebrating the power of love (romantic or not), falls right in the middle

as a signpost for the spirit. And this month, which can seem like the longest, is actually the

shortest! Perhaps February is a lesson in perception, in searching for the positive rather

than the negative. Call on Barchiel to help you focus on the positive throughout the year.

No festival or celebration is complete without symbols and Valentine’s Day cannot be an

exception. The colors of Valentine’s Days are red, pink and white. Given below the symbols

of the season:

Hearts: Since the ancient times, hearts signify love and the place of all human

emotions. Gifting heart means giving everything a person has selflessly to the

person he or she loves.

Ribbons, Laces and Frills: They have become a part of love since the time when

the knights used to go to the battlefield wearing the scarf or handkerchief

presented by his ladylove. During the ancient times usually when a lady wanted to

draw the attention of the man, she used to drop her handkerchief.

Cupid: Cupid or Eros in Greek was the son of the Roman and Greek goddess of love

Venus (Aphrodite in Greek). He is depicted as a chubby, naked winged boy with

wings carrying a bow and a quiver with arrows. It is believed that Cupid makes

people fall in love.

4

Roses: Since the ancient times, roses are associated with love. Rearranging the

letters for the word ‘Rose’ we get the word ‘Eros’ – the god of love. In a Roman

legend, it is said that there was a beautiful girl named Rodanthe who had many

suitors. Their ardent love made them to break the doors of her house which made

goddess Diana infuriated. She turned Rodanthe into a rose and her suitors into

thorns.

The colors of roses also express different sentiments and emotions. For example:

Red: Love, Respect, Beauty and Passion

White: Innocence, Purity, Silence and True Love

Yellow: Friendship, Joy, and Hope

Peach: Admiration, Sympathy and Gratitude

Orange: Fascination and Passionate Thoughts.

Doves and Love Birds: It is believed that on 14th February birds choose their

mates. Doves and pigeons signify loyalty as they mate with their partners through:

out their life. Love Birds are a kind of parrots found in Africa and are always seen

in a pair. Hence they signify love.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Love comes through the eyes that see

And through the ears that hear,

For people are quite beautiful,

And words make feelings clear.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

MEMORIAL SERVICE

MARCH 11, 2012

This is a Memorial Service to honor those close family members and neighbors who have

deceased in the preceding years. Every effort will be made to insure that no name will be

omitted. We appreciate the tremendous response in supplying Linda Martin with 70 names

(so far) for our Memorial Service. Again, we encourage you to advise Linda of additional

residents/close family names as soon as possible. Please e-mail her at

lmartin270@tampabay.rr.com or call her at 863-422-1307.

The information needed will be the deceased name, month and year of death and

relationship to the provider (spouse, child, neighbor, etc.) and name of provider. Some

guidelines will be as follows:

Close relatives only-spouse, children, or other close family members or

former residents

If possible, get permission from any living relatives to have the loved ones

name included in the Memorial Service Roll Call. If permission cannot be

obtained, ask yourself if they (the deceased) would want to be included in

this Memorial Service.

On this first Memorial Service we will receive names from all years past.

If anyone would like to display 1 picture of your loved one on a table at the Memorial

Service please contact Sally Phillips at 422-1906 or email her at

teachde33845@yahoo.com as soon as possible. Please make sure your loved ones name is

2012 Board of Directors

Listed below are the officers/directors that were elected at the Annual HOA Meeting.

President: David Lennox Vice President – Richard Gould

Secretary: Doreen Hughey Treasurer: Pete Evans

Directors: Tammy Anthis, Bob Marotti

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President’s Message

Welcome to 2012. I may appear to be a month late, but the Annual Meeting was just last

week. Thus, I welcome the new HOA Board of Directors. Our thanks are extended to

retiring Board members Herman Biba, Rita Cramer, Hank Marion, and Ron Plouffe.

I was pleased to see so many interested homeowners at the Annual Meeting (78 , including

proxies, out of 123 dues paying members) We had a very healthy debate on the legal fund

and a motion was passed to keep the fund as currently established. The legal fund has just

over $12,000 in it.

The new Board must fill a vacancy and will do so at the February 7th Board Meeting. If you

would like to serve or recommend a name, please contact me or another Board member.

The Activities Committee is always looking for more volunteers and I encourage each of us

to make a contribution to help organize an activity. Specifically, the Spring Yard Sale is

scheduled for March 24th and we need someone or a small group, to lead its organization.

As a former school principal, I am reminded of my first newsletter to the parents each

year. I wrote – if you believe only half of the stories that your children bring home, we will

believe only half of the stories that your children bring to school. Let’s remember this as

we proceed to have a positive and active 2012.

Dave Lennox, President

===================================================================================

LHV Yard Sale will be on Saturday, March 24th. We are looking for someone to help organize this

event, is you are interested let a board member know.
