FROM THE MANAGER’S DESK

Please remember that weekly cuttings are mandatory this time of

year. If you are contracting with a landscaper, please make sure

they are aware of our rules. It is the homeowners’ responsibility to

maintain their property, i.e., cuttings, weeding, removing dead tree

limbs, etc. If you do not cut your lawn yourself or have a land-

scaper cut for you, we can provide that service, and the homeowner

will be charged $50 for each cut.

For the upcoming season, please remember to complete an activity

form so we can schedule the time on the calendar. Check with the

Business Office if you are unsure of a time or location.

We are hosting flu shots on October 7th from 9-11am. Please bring

your insurance information with you.

Please continue to list your account numbers on your monthly

checks and money orders. It makes it much easier for the Business

Office to properly credit your account.

All pet owners are required to provide proof of rabies vaccination

each year from your vet. You are also required to have a license

for each animal in your household.

AARP will be providing a free tax preparation service for residents

of Tropical Haven starting next year. They are looking for volun-

teers. Free training is provided. Please call 877-434-7598 or email

taxaide@aarp.org for more information.

We are scheduling “Coffee with a Cop” in September. Melbourne

Police Department will here on September 30th at 10am to discuss

safety issues in your community. We will hold this meeting in the

Auditorium. Refreshments will be provided.
