FORREST PARK NEWSLETTER

December, 2012
www.forrestpark.blogspot.com

Thanks to Max Mittlehammer for volunteering to take the Newsletter to print and distribute to the Street Representatives! We will once again be receiving copies so those who don’t have email will stay informed.

FORREST PARK DIRECTORY NEEDS YOUR INFORMATION! Please send your name, address, and phone number to forrestparkfl@gmail.com or call Chris at 407-896-6800. DON’T BE LEFT OUT!

Our Common Area is becoming dormant for the winter but with the retaining of a new landscaping company it should be looking good again in the spring. Meanwhile if anyone wants to help out feel free to spend a little time cleaning up leaves etc.!

Our monthly meeting will be our annual Holiday gathering! It’s always a great time to get to know our neighbors in a fun setting.

Thursday, December 13, at 7:00 instead of our regular monthly meeting we will meet at the Wild Rice Restaurant at 843 Lee Rd. (near Adanson…407-622-8003) for a great meal and exchange of White Elephant gifts. Don’t buy anything….just find something around the house that you can swap for fun. COME AND HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR FORREST PARK!:

If lots of people do a little a LOT will get done! Contact Nancy at Fiddler10@msn.com or 407-295-4785 for more information.

A huge THANK YOU to Lou Alexander for many years of service to FPCA! Lou is stepping down from her responsibility as a Street Representative so we will need someone to deliver the Newsletters on Greenfield. Please use the contact information above to volunteer. Lou, you are great and we appreciate you!

Our Common Area is in full bloom for the summer. As usual we ask you not to litter. Keep Forrest Park beautiful and welcoming!

If you notice a vacant house with broken windows or open doors call 311 to have it secured.

FORREST PARK NEWSLETTER

May, 2012

Forrest Park now has a website! Many thanks to Chris Reavis who has designed it for us! Please check it out frequently to keep up with news in our area. You will find it at FORRESTPARK.BLOGSPOT.COM.

Our guest speaker this month will be Tim Haberkamp of Hardee’s on Silver Star. He will represent the Pine Hills Task Force and will bring an update on the Pine Hills Development plans and the village concept.

We have had reports of barking dogs in our neighborhood. This can be extremely annoying, especially at night. We ask that pet owners be courteous and bring their dogs inside so they are not a disturbance. If the problem persists call 311 for Orange County Animal Services and report the problem.

Trash is often carelessly tossed into our Common Area, or just blown the by the wind. If you are a walker, or perhaps have ridden the bus and are walking past, we would appreciate it if you would help out by picking it up and tossing into the can that is provided. We want our entrance to be beautiful!

Our next meeting will be Thursday, May 10 at the Pine Hills Community Center, 6508 Jennings Road off Powers Drive. Come and join the conversation!
