SINCE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF VARIOUS PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, I WANT TO GIVE A QUICK

UPDATE ON THEM. AS YOU CAN SEE THE POOL REFACING IS COMPLETE AND THE POOL NOW HAS A GREAT LOOK. WHILE IT

LOOKS COMPLETE, WE ARE STILL AWAITING THE NEW RAILING AND STEPS AS REQUIRED BY THE NEW STANDARDS. THESE

SHOULD BE IN INSTALLED WITHIN THE WEEK AND OUR MAINTENANCE CREW WILL CLEAN THE PAVERS BEFORE OUR RE-

OPENING OF THE POOL. JUST A FEW WEEKS MORE, PLEASE BE PATIENT. OUR FISH CUTTING STATION IS STILL IN THE

WORKS AND SHOULD BE STARTED SHORTLY. ALSO, OUR MAINTENANE CREW WILL COMPLETE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE

WALKWAY DECKING THIS SUMMER ON THE EAST SIDE. THAT WILL COMPLETE THE RE-DECKING PROJECT STARTED EARLIER.

THE CONTRACT FOR FENCING IN THE DUMPSTER/HOME DEPOT HAS BEEN SIGNED AND THE CONTRACTOR

SHOULD START INSTALLING THE FENCE AS SOON AS THE PERMIT FROM LEE COUNTY COMES IN. AGAIN, PATIENCE, WE ALL

KNOW HOW “QUICK” THE COUNTY IS ON PERMITS! WE PLAN ON RE-USING THE EXISTING WOOD FENCING CURRENTLY AT

THE DUMPSTER SITE TO PLACE AROUND THE POWER SHED FOR OUR SEWER SYSTEM BEHIND DILL STREET AND UTILIZE THE

REST AROUND OTHER AREAS AS NEEDED.

CONCERNING OUR PLANS FOR A RECREATIONAL AREA KNOWN AS SEVEN ACRES, WE ARE VOTING ON THE ALL

AREA SURVEY OF OAK PARK VILLAGE PERIMETER AS OUR REQUEST FOR THE ZONING CHANGE GOES THROUGH THE

PROPER PROCESS. THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCESS.

OUR PERMITS FOR CHANGING OUR PRESSURE TANK TO A STATIC WATER RESERVOIR AND INSTALLATION OF A

SMALLER HYDROPNUEMATIC TANK ARE APPROVED. WE EXPECT THIS WORK WILL BE STARTED DURING THE WET SEASON

SO AS NOT TO OVERLOAD OUR CURRENT SYSTEM DEMAND. SPEAKING OF THAT, DURING THE SUMMER WHEN ONLY A

THIRD OF THE COMMUNITY IS OCCUPIED OUR DAILY WATER CONSUMPTION IS AROUND 12,000 GALLONS PER DAY, BUT

RIGHT NOW WE ARE USING ALMOST 50,000 GALLONS PER DAY. BASED ON AVERAGES WE SHOULD ONLY BE AROUND

36,000 GALLONS. WE NEED TO CONSERVE THIS PRECIOUS COMMODITY. OUR WELLS ARE BEING STRESSED AND COULD

FAIL US IF THIS RATE CONTINUES. PLEASE TRY AND LIMIT YOUR USE OF WATER UNTIL WE GET OUR NEW SYSTEM

UPGRADES COMPLETED. NO LAWN WATERING EXCEPT FOR NEWLY PLANTED GRASS. UTILIZE CAR WASHES FOR CLEANING

YOUR VEHICLES. TRY TO CONSERVE AS MUCH AS POSSINLE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS.

TURNING TO ANOTHER TOPIC, WE WILL CONDUCT A FACT FINDING INFORMAL MEETING STARTING IN APRIL AND

CONTINUE THROUGH THE YEAR ON THE THIRD WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH AT 2PM. RESIDENTS WILL BE ALLOWED 3

MINUTES TIME TO SPEAK AT THE MICROPHONE TO NO MORE THAN 3 OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS. NO OUTBURSTS OR

DISTURBANCES WILL BE TOLORATED. LET’S KEEP IT CIVIL.

I WANT TO THANK ALL WHO VOLUNTEERED TO BE ON THE VARIOUS COMMITTEES THAT SERVE OAK PARK VILLAGE,

YOUR PARTICIPATION WILL HELP KEEP THE OAK PARK SPIRIT. I ALSO WANT TO ASK OUR RESIDENTS TO HELP OUT IN

FORMING A DISASTER ASSISTANCE TEAM COMPRISED OUR RESIDENTS THAT WILL RESPOND TO ANY NATURAL OR MAN-

MADE DISASTER THAT BEFALLS OAK PARK VILLAGE. THIS TEAM WILL HELP FORMULATE RESPONSE ACTIONS TO COVER AS

MANY POSSIBLE DISASTERS THAT WE COULD ENDURE EXCEPT FOR SNOW BLIZZARD INCIDENTS. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF

YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I AM SAD TO SAY THAT OUR BELOVED MAINTENANCE PERSON WILLIE WILL BE LEAVING US

SOON. HE HAS ACCEPTED A GREAT JOB OFFER WITH BETTER BENEFITS AND WAGES. I WISH WILLIE ALL THE BEST IN HIS

FUTURE AND HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL OAK PARK VILLAGE. WE WILL BE FILLING HIS POSITION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT

“WILLIE” WILL BE HARD TO MATCH.

THAT’S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON ANY HAPPENINGS OR

UPDATES.

A FOND FAREWELL

Ruth and Bob Berry have been coming to Oak Park for 24 years. Over those years, Bob has

been involved in Golf, Shuffleboard, and Bowling (as did Ruth) and more. Ruth has been an avid volunteer helping in so many ways.

Unfortunately, this is their last year. We would like to wish them a fond farewell.

Plan on gathering at: Browne Park 4:00 P.M.--?

Thursday, March 19th Bring an Appetizer and chair

BYOB Please join us to say goodbye to Bob and Ruth

who have been a part of our Community for so very long. They will be greatly missed.

RAC Another month in Oak Park has come to an end! Where does the time go? It seems as if a month barely begins and POOF it’s gone.

February was busy here in Oak Park, with two of our largest events coming during the shortest of months. The annual Auction/Flea Market was held on February 5th, and was a great success. This year’s event raised

the most money in several years. It was a fun day and many thanks to all of those that volunteered to make the event a success.

February 27th the annual Alva Fireman’s Potluck was held. There was great attendance from park residents and firefighters from the Alva Fire Department. Thanks to the generosity of our park residents it was a

pleasure to present the fire department with a check for over $3300.

Other February events included the Super Bowl Party, bus trip to the Seminole Casino, the Boat Club steak/chicken fry, bus trip to the Fort Myers dog track, Mardi Gras cart parade and party and Paczki Day.

March promises to be another busy month with many activities planned. Here’s a brief run down and more may be in the works. Please be sure to check the bulletin board in the clubhouse for more details on each event and signup sheets if applicable.

March 6th – Bus trip to Fisherman’s Village

March 11th – Boat Poker Run

March 14th – Garden Club Strawberry Fest

March 17th – OUROC meeting – hosted at Oak Park – topic; Hurricane Preparedness and Survival

March 19th – Brownie Park Bonfire

March 21st – March Madness Dance March 27th – Cliff Erickson concert

March 29th – Old fashioned picnic

Once again thanks to all of the volunteers who make each of these events possible. Without all of you none of this would be possible and it is appreciated more than words can express.

GARDEN CLUB (Nina Rigby)

The Alva Garden Club will be having their annual “STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL” on March 14th from 9am

GUYS & GALS OF OAK PARK (Mildred Spidle)

WE’RE BACK! After a couple of months without doing anything, I am happy to announce that Guys and Gals of Oak Park (formerly Oak Park Ladies) are back in business. First we will be having a meeting on Monday, March 2, at 11 am in the Clubhouse. I urge everyone to come and help plan our outings for this year. On Thursday, April 16, we will once again be travelling to Broadway Palm to eat a delicious lunch and watch another musical comedy, "Something Rotten." I have reserved great seats right in front of the stage and, even better, right near the food. Be sure to check out the poster and sign-up sheet in the Clubhouse.
