OUTBACK PARK MODEL, RESORT HOME AND MOTORPORT OWNERS: Please disregard my recent letter. I must have been smoking wacky weed. I’ll get a new calculator!

REC HALL PARKING: Do not leave anything parked under the covered area at the Rec Hall – even if it’s raining. This area is to be left open for dropping off and picking up handicapped persons and for ambulances, fire trucks, etc.

DROP BOX: By the time you read this, we should have a drive-up drop box installed in the island at the business office. This may be used for anything you wish to deliver to the business office; i.e., rent checks, warranty forms, etc.

PETS : The majority of our complaints are regarding residents’ pets relieving themselves on other residents’ lawns. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PET TO RELIEVE ITSELF UNTIL YOU GET TO THE COMMON AREA AND PICK UP AFTER IT. Anyone caught putting dog excrement into the sewers will be reported to the Department of Environmental Protection. Do not bring pets to social events. Pets must be leashed at all times when outside your home.

YELLOW GRASS, BUSHES AND TREES: We see lots of lawns, bushes and trees that are begging for fertilizer. Please feed them. This will also help them be in better shape for winter.

SECURITY: DO NOT GIVE ANYONE THE GATE CODE! Your guests or contractors can call you from the US 27 gate by using the A to Z buttons on the faceplate of the gate entry system. You must have a local number. Cell phones won’t work. When your name is displayed, your personal code will appear. Your guest may either push the “Call” button or enter your code, which will cause your telephone to ring. If your guest already knows your directory code, they can simply enter the code on the keypad. Once you answer your telephone and identify your guest, press 9 on your touchtone phone to cause the gate to open. If you do not want to open the gate, simply hang up the phone.

We will soon reprogram all resident gate openers to a different frequency. If need be, as step #2, we will delete present gate openers and go to a bar code system or a proximity card system.

MANAGEMENT SPONSORED FUNCTIONS : Residents wearing a Tanglewood badge will be served ONE BEER AT A TIME. You may not get a second beer for “my wife, neighbor, etc.” Please don’t be rude to our servers by attempting to get more than one at a time
