DECORATING/SOCIAL COMMITTEE
A list has been sent out twice to request that a Chairperson be
named for these Committees but there has been no response.
Mamie reported that decorations for St Patrick’s Day are
scheduled for setup and take down at 3:30pm on 3/13/10 and 3/19/10,
respectively. For Easter set up and take down will be at 3:30pm on 3/27/10
and 4/7/10 , respectively. Notice of these schedules
will be posted on the web site or by e mail.
SOCIAL COMMITTEE
The Block Party will be held Friday 3/19/10 at the Weinstock’s
and Jameses homes between 4pm and 7 pm.
A general discussion ensued regarding the original purpose of the
activities; the frequency of social events; dropping attendance; the
emphasis on maintaining the four principal events (Christmas; July 4th;
Halloween; and the Block Party) Also discussed was the need for a
Chairperson and the factors which may be reasons for the difficulty in
getting a Chairperson (other things going on; people are busy; the
frequency of meetings; too much on one person).
Ron suggested that at least the group should meet (especially
focusing on the 4 main events) with one person “spearheading” this
effort. Merrily volunteered to host a meeting toward that end. A date
could be set , or such a meeting could be held
immediately following the April 13th SRVR Association
meeting. The latter idea was accepted.
SUNSHINE COMMITTEE REPORT
Janis reported that
two cards were mailed including one to Susan Weinstock who was
hospitalized
NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS
Janis will follow up with forms to gather missing Emergency
information on neighbors. Janis and Rafael each has a set of contact
forms. Mamie said that she could help circulate the contact forms.
Vials of Life - Janis will follow up on this program next.
RELAY FOR LIFE
Janis reported that sponsors are needed. The South Point Baptist
Church is a Center for raising funds for the American Cancer Society. The
funds stay in Florida and collection due date is 3/10/10.
CRIME WATCH REPORT- There was no report
OPEN HOUSE COMMITTEE
Dave Donihue is on this Committee and has had discussions with
David Latiak, Plantation Manager. The Plantation dislikes Open Houses
principally due to having had some property damage experiences. Mr
Latiak commented that he doesn’t know what will be done with the Open
House matter. Dave noted that
he had a copy of Highland Lakes policy
on the subject.
Dave said that he has had several calls expressing frustration at
not having Open Houses, Hopefully, attitudes may change on the subject.
Janis suggested giving the
subject more exposure by posting it in the Plantation Times or bringing it
up at an HOA meeting.
Discussion ensued regarding web site links to Plantation Realty
& not other realtors being discriminatory. However, listings of homes
for sale are on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Other comments were
that the issue is not for us to solve; outside realtors can obtain visits
in the Plantation; and certain
“for sale” signs of specified size and placement are allowed.
OTHER NEW BUSINESS
Dave Donihue reported on the PRO Board decision to terminate the
group, the date being 3/9/10; the HOA Board general membership meeting on
3/26/10; and the Water Schedule changes to 2 days/week on Tuesdays and
Fridays for Sable Ridge during the week of March 14, 2010. Also, March 14th
is the return of Daylight
Savings Time.
ATTENDANCE ISSUES
Discussion continued about the few numbers of Residents attending
the monthly meeting; how to deal with a major issue when only few attend
the meetings (not deemed a major
issue since major fund matters are addressed through other protocols).
Should the meetings be less frequent; reminders could be sent verbally or
by e mail. Next months’s meeting will be followed by light refreshments.

DRAWING
Merrily collected $24 for the 50/50 drawing with Ed Brown having
the winning ticket.
