During the first week in February our decorating
committee, chaired by Howard Silberman, met with our decorator Susan Wells
to start the task of redecorating our clubhouse ballroom. She and her staff
will begin to prepare plans for our committee which when completed, will be
submitted by me to our Board of Directors, with a proposed budget for their
review and approval. I will keep our residents advised as these plans
evolve. I know this will be an exciting and well needed improvement for all
the residents who enjoy the use of our ballroom.
The Cable TV committee consisting of each of the four phases of Huntington
Pointe and chaired by Bob Suchoff has recently met with the president of
Hotwire Communications and her staff to discuss their cost to us and their
services offered to our residents. This meeting followed a similar meeting
with Comcast Cable’s representative. We are planning to continue our
investigation of both proposals, and when a final decision is made by the
committee, it will be presented separately by each phase to its unit owners.
Each phase has to separately sign a contract with the selected cable
company.
Our Landscape committee chaired by Len Kaplan recently met with Prime
Management’s landscape maintenance managers to discuss our landscaping
needs. They advised us that the recent freeze as it affected all our
plantings was not as severe as it was in other areas of Florida. They expect
our plants to recover even though their leaves have fallen: our plantings
will again grow back.
At the request of our residents the height of our speed bumps has been
reduced at various locations, where needed, so there should be no concern
that there will be damage to our residents’ vehicles. I’d like to thank the
majority of our residents who carefully drive their cars over the recently
installed speed bumps. Of course there are still a few people who speed,
drive on the grass, go through full stop signs, and who will ultimately
cause great harm to themselves and their neighbors. It wasn’t too long ago
that a resident, speeding past the road in front of our clubhouse struck a
resident “head on” causing him serious injuries.
It has been said “every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every
day; wisdom consists of not exceeding the limit.” Edgar Allan Poe adds, “I
have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.” Please drive
slowly, do not speed; we do not want any one injured.
Respectfully,
Morty Millstein
