Architectural Amendments to
Your Home
Every resident who moves into and lives in Forest Lakes is
held to the rules and regulations set forth in the Resident
Guidelines. These guidelines can be found on our website
at www.forestlakes.net. Anyone wishing to make external
changes to their property must, by law, meet the Resident
Guidelines and submit an application (available on the
website or in the FLCA office) before initiating work. The
most common changes are fences, storage sheds, tree removal, door and shutter color changes and additions. The
application is then reviewed by the ARB. The integrity
and beauty of surrounding neighborhoods is maintained
by adhering to the policies of the ARB. Thanks for your
cooperation!
Fitness Center - A few Reminders
If you should lose your gym card, please notify the Association office. We will deactivate your card, just in case it falls
into the “wrong hands”. You can get a replacement card
for $10 at the office. If you should find your card, we can
reactivate it right away.
Speaking of cards……it is recommended that each gym
goer identify their card with something obvious like a key
chain, lanyard or even a ribbon! Many cards are being
taken by mistake by other residents, causing confusion and
residents having to purchase cards unnecessarily.

From the desk of Jim Labinski, Director of Tennis
February, 2015
Hello Residents of Forest Lakes,
Being in the middle of winter, I am sure that tennis is far from your thoughts.
However, for me, I have been obsessing over the thoughts of returning to the courts ever since I had
my shoulder repaired on November 13, 2014. While I am in the middle of my physical therapy, I will be
resuming my tennis lesson teaching, on a limited basis, in March.
I will begin the Spring Junior After School program on March 21. The days of the week, format and
times will be similar to the Fall program. Weather is always a factor this time of year, so I have built some
flexibility into the schedule. The program runs for a total of ten weeks. It concludes on May 22, with weather
make-ups during the following weeks, as deemed necessary. You can choose five- or ten-week options. You
can also choose to play once, twice or three times a week.
The information and sign up form are available on Forest Lakes Community Association website and in
this newsletter.
I am quite excited to be attending the United States Professional Tennis Association Mid-Atlantic
Spring Convention, February 27-8, at the Princess Anne Country Club in Virginia Beach. I am looking forward
to learning new drills, techniques and concepts. I look forward to sharing what I will have learned with the
Forest Lakes tennis community in the near future.
Can’t remember when you last had your racket restrung? Start the tennis season right! Get your
racket restrung and regripped for the upcoming Spring and Summer of tennis. Drop me an email or text and I
will arrange to get your racket and get it ready for the upcoming season.
Charlottesville tennis leagues will resume competition soon. Court time becomes a premium when
these leagues resume. The Sunday mixed doubles leagues will begin March 22, and the other leagues begin
play in mid-April. To minimize conflicts with court availability, we will have the various home dates posted on
a tennis calendar on the FLCA website. Look for the tennis calendar in March.
Until then, I anticipate court availability to be no problem at all.
I look forward to seeing you out on the courts very soon. Feel free to email, call or text me if you have
any questions about the tennis at Forest Lakes.
Sincerely,
Jim Labinski
Director of Tennis
