Hi All,
It's finally a done deal, the papers were signed last night. The HOA Board Members that are here at Plantation Landings had a meeting with Ron Achille (who is like Brian Altman was for CRF) at 1:00PM today and he explain some of the things that we can look forward to like better communication, rules enforced, fixing things in a timely manner, and other changes within the park. Meetings with the manager once a month,(for everyone that lives in the park), and once a years with the vice president of Solstice (our new owners).
The new owners and manager will be having an introduction meeting with the permanent people who are here in the park as soon as we can get it set up. Then this winter they will have another introduction meeting with all of the residents.

THIS IS A SINCERE REQUEST to the person who mistakenly took a tan plastic Publix bag from the Club House counter (next to the phone). Kindly return the contents to:

HELEN VALLIERE

385 Plantation Landings Dr.

Phone: (863) 421-9188

This bag contained precious Stainless Steel Silverware given to me by my Mother--one large serrated bread knife, 5 large forks and 13 dessert forks. Two birthday cakes were nearby, as well as plates and napkins, in celebration of one lady's birthday while we played Hand & Foot the evening of Friday, May 4th.

No explanation is needed. Just a quiet return to me or place them inside my rear screened-in room.

Thank you.

PL H.O.A. Web site by: Marlene Lima

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Sandy Ramsey for all her hard work as Web Master of our web site. Sandy and Walt have moved to Kentucky but will be remembered and missed by so many of us here at Plantation Landings. I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome Jim Summers as our new Web Master. He has stepped right in and handles the web site like a Pro. We are so fortunate to have had Sandy and now Jim as our Web Masters. All of us should be so proud of our PL H.O.A. Web Site.

"THE MESSENGER NEWSLETTER" by: Marlene Lima

Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't you think it's time to take notice and give a loud shout out of thanks to our former "Messenger" editor: Yvonne Sheffield for editing the "Messenger" for several months. With her new very demanding job she was unable to continue as editor. Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't you think it's way past time to give a huge shout out of thanks to Dale McFarlane for taking over the huge and time consuming job of "Messenger Editor". The April newsletter was Dale's first edition. I think he did an outstanding job. Way to go, Dale!

"Bocce For Fun" will take place every Thursday morning at 8:30 AM during the summer months. Jim Childs has agreed to co-ordinate. If you have any questions please contact Jim at 438-4978.

Homeowners Statutory Committee Report

On Monday, April 2, 2012, the Homeowners Statutory Committee (HOSC) held their third homeowners meeting.

At this time, the homeowners expressed their concerns and ideas on how we can continue to make Plantation Landings a good place to live. It was a very fruitful meeting. The information received will be utilized and will be helpful in developing an agenda for the meeting with the park owners in November.

There will be a fourth HOSC meeting in October 2012 to gather any more information for the meeting with park owners.

The turnout at the meeting on April 2 was great. There were 105 people in attendance. Thank you to everyone who attended.

As of April 12, 2012, Ray Van Horn was selected as a new member, and Jim Childs was re-selected to serve on the HOSC. The H.O.A. also requested that John Rishel remain as chairperson for another year for the purpose of the transition for the sale of the park.

2012 Phone Directories are here!!

Please see Jeanette Seale.
