saving water
We all have heat pumps, or air conditioners. They all expel water each day, and in most cases, it just drips in one place on your lot. I get 5 gallons of water EVERY day, which goes into a 5 gallon pail, which I then distribute to my plants. Can you imagine the water and money our park would save if we all did this ? Give it a try. Thanks....Salty Dog

A New Board Member for Regency Cove
A park majority conscensus has been been publicized, and a board member has resigned. The Board of Directors now has the responsibility to fill the vacancy. Here are a few thoughts that I would like to share with you board members. I encourage other residents to add your ideas:
1. No personal agendas are welcome. At Candidates' Night in March 2011, several of you spoke of representing the residents. ( Elaine, are you listening?) Well, the residents have spoken, and now its time for the BOD to reconfigure their policies and loyalties of the last few weeks/months to finally represent the residents in choosing a new board member. It was unbelievable to hear that after the recall results were announced, and the board president resigned, that one board member called out and refused to accept the resignation of the president. One question for that board member: Do you, in any way, understand the meaning of representing the majority of the residents of Regency Cove? Apparently not. Who needs you?
It wasn't that long ago that a president changed our hot tub rule because his visitng grandson couldn't get into the tub. I fought that while I served on the board and I continue to disagree with allowing children into our hot tub because it is a therapeutic device, and not a recreational toy. Get off your fat ass and take the kids to Busch Gardens or Lowery Zoo, for cripe sake.
Board members, remember who put you where you are. Start listening to your neighbors, and get off your high horse, because horses aren't allowed in Regency Cove. Motorcycles, on the other hand, are. BOD, you dropped the ball on that rule, and many of us are mad as hell. A year has passed and not one single one of you has has bothered to re-initiate the No Motorcycle Rule in the park. Who are you listening to?
Next: the Board of Directors, or the officers of the BOD must stop doing favors for their friends. This is one of those "touchy areas" that our board has refused to publicly address. A request was recently submitted to the board via the approved office form, regarding the kayak ramp on Pelican Point.
Someone chose to eliminate the topic from the agenda. This is the president's job. Why wasn't this discussed at the last board meeting? The residents of Pelican Point have requested attention to their needs. Betty Ridge and our Board has overlooked their requests.
What a shame to Regency Cove!

Killing the Messenger
I received an email this morning that I'd like to share.
Sandy:
Why don't you just stay up at the Lake and leave this Park and the people alone. What is wrong with you that you keep using that Blog to start problems with statements that are just untrue. Let it go and consider staying up north forever and maybe things will get better here in our community with you out of the picture.
Please try to get your heart in the right place for right now you feel powerful but maybe not in the eyes of our Lord.
"God is Love"
Betty Ridge
Betty:
I find it amusing that I am the focus of your contempt. I merely report both sides of the issues, and folks can draw their own conclusions. This blog has lasted for three presidents, and it will last for at least one more. Like it or not, this is called COMMUNICATION. Why doesn't the Board have its own blog?
I served on the Board for three years, introduced the board to some wonderful educational opportunities (ROC Forum, the Master Gardener program, Hillsborough County mini-grants, to name a few). I wasn't the best board member the park ever had, but I wasn't the worst either. I served my community, and accomplished some nice projects. My heart is and always has been, in the right place... making positive contributions to my neighborhood.
While working on my projects, I worked alongside our employees, and always treated them with respect. They've always done the same for me. I never poked my nose into personnel files, because the Board isn't supposed to do that. I never promoted firing anyone.
Now as to me staying up here at the lake, it ain't gonna happen. What an unkind thing for you to suggest. I hope your bitterness leaves you soon. Maybe God will, after all, place His Love inside you.
Please heal.

Recall Results
During the board meeting this morning, a process server arrived and delivered a package to the table where the board members were sitting. Although several board members showed an interest in it, nothing was said about it during the meeting. After the meeting someone asked what the package was, and Dennis Kralick announced that it was the results of the recall ballots: 31 were against the recall and 222 were in favor of the recall.
Our president asked for the floor, made a few comments, and then resigned.
The residents of the park have made their opinions very clear. The majority has spoken.
