Yard Sales

by Maureen ~ January 29th, 2010

Neighbors, A notice was sent out along with your dues invoice concerning yard sales and vendor codes. Yard Sales continue to be a problem for the neighborhood both in congestion and security and the board is getting a large number of complaints due to the frequency of them. There have been yard sales almost every weekend which is an inconvenience to all who live in the neighborhood. The board voted on two yards sales per year for the community for which the board will have a banner made and will also run an ad in the paper and on craigs list. We will have one in April and one in October and the dates will be posted on the website and a letter will be sent out a month in advance to let you know of the date. Please be considerate of your neighbors and take advantage of the benefits of a community yard sale. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer at Grace Property Management @ 407-644-4440 or Jennifer@grace-realty.com Thank you for your support.
Maureen Heretick, HOA President

Sushi anyone?

by Rachel ~ October 25th, 2009

We recently restocked the ponds with fish, carp I think, to eat the green growing in our ponds. The gators and otters apparently think our ponds are their own personal buffet.

This was the smaller gator. We such a much, much larger gator that same weekend (last weekend), but didn’t have a camera handy when we saw him.


(a little blurry since he was in a hurry to run off with his catch)


in this one, you can see the fin of the fish he’s about to eat.

(the close up pictures were taken with my husband’s serious camera, and the farther away shots were taken with my less serious camera.)

Gate Codes

by Maureen ~ October 15th, 2009

Gate Codes!!! It appears alot of people are using invalid gate codes. 2004 is not a valid gate code. Every home should have they’re own personal gate code. If your gate code isn’t working or is not your personal number please call Grace Management Company and they will let you pick a gate code. Any questions, call the management company. Thank you, Maureen

Vandalized Gates!

by Maureen ~ October 15th, 2009

It appears that gates at both entry ways have been vandalized. Anyone with any information should call Grace Management Company and anyone with any information on the approximate time that the gates quit operating both on the Conway side and the Daetywler side, please post on this website. We will review the camaras to see if we have it on tape, Thank you for your assistance. Maureen Heretick

In which a whole lotta nothing was accomplished

by Rachel ~ September 2nd, 2009

A big thank you to the 33 households who came out to our HOA meeting last week. Sadly, a quorum was not reached, and business could not be conducted. Folks, we cannot accomplish anything if you don’t show up. We need something a ridiculous percentage our 128 houses represented in order to conduct business. I understand we all live busy lives, but please try to be involved in our neighborhood. (I cannot recall what percentage off hand, I’m sure it’s in our bylaws somewhere… over there on the sidebar)

We’ll be setting a new date for a meeting and hoping for a quorum. IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND PLEASE FILL OUT A PROXY AND GIVE IT TO ME or any neighbor you may know who will be able to attend!

Look! We have fun at these meetings:


(in case you don’t know me, I’m in the purple shirt. now you have 1/2 a face for the name!)

As soon as I know the date of our next meeting, I will send out an email and post it up here. If you do not receive emails from me, please send me your email address: rachel (at) pereiraville (dot) com
