During the COVID pandemic we are able to sew in the West Room as long as it is permissible by State and County guidelines. As of this article submission, we are allowed no more than 10 occupants at a time in the West Room. All occupants must follow COVID protection guidelines, which include maintaining a social distance, wearing a face mask, and no sharing of tools and notions. Upon entering the room, please sign - in and take/log your body temperature. The room is available Sunday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Bags, Bags, and Bags ! Pat Keyes has been working diligently on custom embroidered bags. Bags by Pat range in price from $20 to $30. Pat will donate $10 from each bag sold to Shelter From The Storm. Kellie Bertsch aka Mimz Made is also donating a portion of the sales from her beautifully made bags to Shelter From The Storm. Mimz Made bags include cell phone bags, wallets, purses and pouches.
A&A committee volunteers, assisted by our resort Compliance Coordinator, Julia Miramontes, take pride in helping owners improve and maintain their lots. RV Paint Damage The overwhelming majority of owners perform periodic maintenance to help maintain the Resort ’ s 5 - star standards. However, over 40 owners have received notices of non - compliant RV ’ s due to damaged paint and decals. These owners should schedule an RV painter to do the work and be ready to provide a completion date if they wish to avoid further enforcement actions. Snap - on Nose Covers for 5 th Wheels All RV ’ s are inspected for condition and aesthetics upon sale of the RV, including paint damage that may have been concealed by the installation of a custom - made vinyl cap on the front nose wall of the 5 th wheel. Owners who are tempted to spend up to $1000 to have a custom - made vinyl cap installed to hide paint damage obtain a quote to have the paint repaired as it may be a better long - term investment. Dog Fences Dog fences are allowed if they are commercially made and attractive. Home built fences of wire mesh and posts are not allowed. The fence may not extend onto the common area and must be removed from any natural grass area on the scheduled lawn mowing day. Fences must be removed and placed in storage when the RV is not use. Permits for Summer Work Please file your permit requests by April 1 so that approval can be issued while our A&A volunteers are in the resort. It ’ s best to get an early approval of your plan, and then the committee will work with you on any changes as project matures. This will avoid delays in your approval. End of Season Preparation When you read this in early March it is time to plan your exit from the resort. Be sure to buy quality furniture covers at Home Depot before they sell out. Also have your hedges trimmed while you can supervise. High temperatures and irrigation cause rapid growth in the summer. Also, February ’ s high winds knocked a lot of bark off the Washingtonian Palms at the front of our lots. If you wish, submit a $100 check written to Reliable Tree Service to the front office and they will arrange for complete skinning of the tree bark. Charles Leahy A&A Chair
