Pool Party August 23 4:00 PM- 8:00 PM (or longer)

This year for our pool party, the HOA Board of Directors has agreed to offer ribs and

chicken quarters to our residents as the main dish. We encourage those attending to

bring a side dish, dessert, bread, etc for others to share. Since ribs and chicken

quarters are an upgrade from hamburgers and hot dogs, the following procedures will be

implemented:

(1) In order to have enough food for all, you MUST sign up as attending with the number

of persons.

(2) Names will be checked off at the door and a ticket will be given for each person.

(3) ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP WILL BE GIVEN A TICKET!!!

(4) Non-resident guests are welcome to join us for a cost of $3.00 per person

(guests will also receive a ticket)

(5) This ticket is to be presented at the time you get your meal

(6) Only those who have a ticket will be allowed ribs and/or chicken, however, if you have

not signed up, and there is any left, you will be welcome to it.

We are sorry if this procedure may prove to be an inconvenience, but with the cost of

ribs and chicken, we are making every effort to control and limit any waste. Thanks for

your cooperation.

Tickets will be required for ALL Residents and Guests.

A Message From the President...

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I hope this note finds everyone enjoying

their summer amidst vacations, visiting with

family and friends, and the beautiful summertime weather. Summer has

been warm here in Florida, as you would expect, and the afternoon showers

have returned on nearly a daily basis although LHV has not received the

quantity of rain that other parts of the state have.

As we get closer to the fall, it's time to start thinking of elections for the

Board of Directors. Currently, we have three members whose terms will be

ending. They are: Sharon Bowden- 1 year term

Marilyn Smith- 2 year term

Clark Smith- 2 year term

I would like to ask all residents to consider running for one of the positions

on the board. As a Board of Director member you will be asked for your

input into the decision making process as it relates to the HOA. You will be

asked for ideas and suggestions that will allow the HOA to more effectively

fulfill its obligations and duties to its members. If interested, please

contact a current member for any questions you might have or if you would

like to have your name on the ballot. We would like to establish a list of

interested candidates no later than October 1.

Finally, a quick comment regarding the HOA. The HOA exists FOR the

homeowners of Lake Hammock Village. It assists and plans numerous

activities throughout the year and is constantly looking for new ideas. It

represents the homeowners in negotiations with management and the

owners, especially as to rent increases. In order to continue to be

successful, the HOA needs people to get involved as Directors and

Officers. Please consider “throwing your hat into the ring”.

Until next month...enjoy the rest of your summer.

Clark

“Community Reporter” It is with great

pleasure that I announce we have two

volunteers to serve as our Community

Reporter(s). Stephanie Strom and Marion

Spiegel have each volunteered to serve in

this capacity. Stephanie and Marion will be

calling on various residents in the community

for the purpose of interviewing them in

regards to what brought them to Florida,

where they are from, interesting facts from

their lives, military service, etc. Our

reporters will then write an article about

the resident to be published in the “Gator

Tales”. This will allow all of us to get to

know our friends and neighbors better and

learn some very interesting facts about

them. The HOA would like to thank

Stephanie and Marion for volunteering to

undertake this task and should you have any

information to offer regarding suggestions

of individuals for them to interview, please

contact Stephanie at (407)201-1525 or

Marion at (863)422-1570.

Please save your shoeboxes (cardboard of plastic).

They will be used for Operation Christmas Child or

They are distributed in the poorest of poor areas

Thank you

I want to thank the HOA in general and Clark and Joice

Smith in particular for the inspirational and patriotic

Memorial Day program on 25 May. As the 2015 Veteran

Honoree, I was surprised by the Navy inspired plaque

(with the FEMALE sailor…a really nice touch) and the

sincerity and emotion felt by all. The food was great

too. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Carol Hubbard

Hats off to all for the super Fourth of July cook-out.

Thank you management and to all who helped.
