Maids Not Included

Last year during the winter months a few winter residents got their panties in a bunch when we made the comment that     MAIDS DO NOT COME WITH UNIT PURCHASE

Well yesterday a few residents and I were talking and one resident, asked why all of a sudden do we have maintenance men  fixing chairs at pools every morning this week ??

THE ANSWER ....During the summer months full time residents clean pool area when leaving and now we have winter residents drag chairs around pool and leave them everywhere.

This makes it hard to get by the skinny paths next to tables, older people dodging chairs etc

COMMON COURTESY !!

So to our Winter Visitors ...why should HOA spend 2 hours payroll every morning to clean up after your pool use

AS STATED AGAIN ...ALL NEED TO BE ACTIVE IN KEEPING COMMUNITY UP

CLEAN UP AFTER POOL USE AND STOP ACTING LIKE MESSY CHILDREN HERE AT OUR FULL TIME RESIDENCE....We Live Here !!! This is not our winter get away !

PUSH YOUR CHAIRS BACK IN ..PUT THE LOUNGERS BACK WHERE YOU FOUND THEM    ...ITS VERY SIMPLE    .......WANT TO BE ACCEPTED BY FULL TIME COMMUNITY ???

Start acting like you care and are not entitled to something because you visit here for 90 days or so

**********************************************************************************


I have received a few letters of complaint about my alleged dislike for winter visitors and I would like to clarify a few things since this has been addressed !

First Let me start by saying I have made my personal opinion about snowbirds to far ranged, and for that I must backtrack and admit my mistake

 I have a group of winter visitors that I look forward to seeing every year and some have been here as friends for over the last 10 years so putting them into the small group of winter visitors that many here have the same opinion of.  

 Yes we have a group of winter residents that have decided to make our home their winter playground, Many of these are the buyers who bought here in last 3- 5 years during the housing boom, .Some just don't know how to act in a upscale community, But we have acquired them none the less.

So maybe it is time to just actually just address them here and not all winter residents as one

We have snow birds,  ....... and those who dont know how to act when here we will refer to as Snow Pigeons ...lol

But I must assure you this is not a one mans opinion here.....A large group of full time residents also feels the same..Now can the community get together as one...this will depend on attitudes from both sides to be equal!

But I want to say to winter residents to think from our side also...we live our lives the same here 360 days a year, we all have our own lifestyle we lead, Then in winter , you come and want to change rules that affect our lifestyle,keep pools open later and open earlier,noise at all hour at jacuzzi, not realizing we have windows open..we didn't just come from the tundra. or plan parties that are paid for by community ?? This is absurd and the respect will never be mutual here as long as this kind of game if going on
