Mid FL ROC
Mid Florida ROC Meeting: Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Where: Hawthorne, US 27, south of Leesburg..
Program: Scott Gordon, Mr. Gordon is an attorney who is extremely
knowledgeable about resident owned parks. His previous
appearances have been very interesting.
Meeting will start at 10:00AM. Come early for coffee at 9:30.
MRA Card Party
Last year was such a success that we’re doing it again – a Molokai
Card Party in February. We will be inviting all the other parks to
participate. We are promoting Molokai as a beautiful park and we
would appreciate your donations of a new small item for the table
gifts or a larger item that we could include for the raffle. We will be
placing a bin in the club house to hold your donations. There will be
more information about the event in future Observers.
Red Hats
Keep your eyes on the bulletin board in the clubhouse for information
on Red Hat events.
Flea Market
November 8.
A sign-up sheet is posted on the MRA bulletin board in the clubhouse
for both the tables in the clubhouse and carport sales. There is a
charge of $5 for each table and each participating carport; this is the
same as in the past and will be used for advertising and other
expenses. The "map" of the table setups will be posted so each
person can put their name(s) on whatever tables they prefer. We
expect to mark each participating carport so shoppers can readily
identify your sale. Only those who paid their $5 will be allowed to
have carport sales.
The MRA will, as usual, have a table at the clubhouse for those who
would prefer to just donate your unwanted items to them to sell.
We need a volunteer to head up the kitchen crew. Lunch will be
served in the clubhouse from 10 to 11:30. (Coffee and donuts
earlier? – not sure, will advise later).
The hours are 8 – 1. Whether you are in a carport or at a table, do
not "close your doors" until closing time - unless you sell out (and
good for you if you do!!)
If anyone has any comments, suggestions, changes, etc., please
contact Oscar Noel (352-253-0796) or any other committee
members. ALL suggestions will be considered. Committee
Members: Freida Duryea, Don Thoms, Sandy Noel, Pete and Judy

Welcome Home
Please remember to let the office know when you return from your
time away.
Please be careful
We see that people are starting to come back “home”. It is so nice to
see the place filling up again. Please remember that we are on a
septic system and everything has to get pumped to the station. With
the exception of regular toilet paper, nothing should get flushed that
doesn’t come out of you. Even “flushable” wipes can clog a pump.
Repairing and replacing pumps costs you money.
An Hawaiian hula dancer?
A surfer fanatic?
A fashion model?
The wife of a billionaire?
A Royal Hawaiian Chief?
A scuba diving instructor?
A Professional Golfer?
Or was it one of the others in the cast?
Come to the "Hawaiian Murder Mystery
Dinner" in February and see if you can figure
out "who did it?"
More details in the November Observer.
Drive Defensively
As a 55+ community, we have many residents whose reaction time is
not what it used to be. Please stick to the 15 mph speed limit, keep
an eye out for movement in the driveways ahead of you, and check
twice when backing out. Pedestrians, remember to walk on the left
side of the road, facing traffic so you can see what is coming at you.
Rule Reminder
1. A...Homesite, carport, and yard should be attractively maintained
free of clutter, trash, and storage. Yards must be neatly maintained.
1. E.... No parking on grass. No overnight parking on the street.
1. F....Trash pickup is on Tuesday and Friday starting at 8:30AM. Do
not put trash out before 7AM. All yard waste pick up is on Thursday
only. (bagged or tied and in 4 ft. lengths) and shouldn't be put out
before Thursday.
IX. .......Guests who are staying (overnight) in the park must be
registered at the office. Get your pool passes then too.

gets a copy of anything you post in the clubhouse or put on Channel
998. Put a copy in the Observer file in the office. The best way is
email – copy and paste what you wrote into the body of the email if
you don’t know how to do attachments. If you want to learn how to
do attachments, contact me.
