 A word from the President …
   Mainlands 1-2 Valentine

   Roses are red, violets are blue.
   Neighbors are cleaning, how about you?

   February is a great time to address mold, algae, blistering paint, and
   weeds. Take a neighborly look at your property...is it clean? Clear?
   Cluttered? Painted? Peeling? Each of us enjoys our community
   covenant to present all 529 residences in a positive look.

   TRANSITION TO CPM: Campbell Property Management… is going
   as expected. January was bumpy, February has been improving, and
   March should be smoother! We are so grateful for the advantages
   PCM bring to us...relief in bookkeeping, consistent attention to
   violations, and general health of our organization. Much credit to Pam
   Bushnell, Office Manager, Nancy Major, Treasurer, and especially
   Tisha Henry, Property Manager. CPM was assigned to violations
   notices as highest priority moving forward. Always a “Courtesy”
   Notice first, bringing our roof, driveway, and property concerns to our
   attention. We, nor you, want to go further on a fining protocol...                               Photos by Dave

   WATER ,,, OR NOT? We experienced three broken main pipes in our irrigation system this week (hence, no
   sprinkling Sunday or Thursday). Jim Daly has addressed all three of these, and we are hopefully going to
   enjoy sprinklers again soon. So grateful for the mid-week rains! HOW TO REQUEST SPRINKLER
   REPAIRS… a short form requesting work is in the office. Jim reviews/responds to those within 24 hours…
   and we do follow-up. Complaining to your neighbor does not get things fixed...

   POOL PRIVILEGES… all gates are now working! Pool B drains have been repaired! Broward County has
   allowed, and our Board approved, relaxed restrictions of pool people. Friends and family guests are now
   allowed! Same safety and sanitation protocols… maintain 6’ distance from non-family… no furniture, chairs,
   etc on pool deck (paved areas)… and be considerate of one another. Restrooms and water fountains are still
   closed.

   POLICE… OR PLEASE? Be nice, talk to one another… especially if you have a neighbor concern. We, the
   Board, office volunteers, cannot be the “Police”. Someone smoking at the pool bothering you? Ask them
   nicely to move. OR… you may nicely move upwind from them. Neighbor putting trash out at wrong times?
   Ask/inform them… nicely… of Mon/Thu system. Street light not lit? Call FPL Loud music/party? Ask
   neighbor… nicely… to consider others. No, or bad, response? Then call the Police.

   NICE WORKS… considering others, encouraging neighbors, remembering we are 529
   committed-to-Mainlands 1-2 neighbors in community. Let’s enjoy our place!
