HOME March 2015 Enchanting Shores Co-Op, 17 Turquoise Ave., Naples, FL 34114 enchantingshores.com Phone: 239-775-1221 Fax: 239-775-5955 From the President….. I am pleased to announce that we have monies to roll over again from 2014 into this year’s budget. For transparency: On our profit and loss report for 2014, ESC reports $66,822.15. However, we have $30,000 in Reserves, $5,000 in Emergencies, and $5,000 in Contingencies. We also pay out of this income, additional monies for CPA, Attorney and associated costs for Jade property, additional costs for increased insurance premiums and increase costs for utilities. On the positive, ESC has received higher income in the area of transfers, and boat rentals. We are conserving water, saving ESC higher costs. We have also reduced our maintenance costs. All in all we are financially stable, with NO increase in our quarterly assessments, (maintenance fees). This is due to the continued efforts of our Board of Directors and the clubs and activities that support ESC. Thanks Again Other Notes . . . . . 1. Our Annual Meeting was informative, with information provided from Collier County Code Enforcement. Continue to submit permits through the office for work being done on your home and parcel. 2. We are using less water, compared month to month, from last year. 3. Speeding continues to be an issue, both with shareholders/renters as well as outsiders. Collier County sheriff has a hot line to report any concern with traffic. Their direct # is: 239-530-ZOOM or 239-530-9666. This number is accessible 24 hours a day. 4.

To all Clubs, Groups and Activities, the Board is striving to come up with the best solution for future advertising of any upcoming events that you may want to make our park residents aware of. I would like to thank the following men for their help with the construction of the storage building. Jerry Ballard and his grandson Jared, Howard Loveless, Patrick Nolan, Denny Johnson, Greg McDougall and anyone else that helped that I may have forgotten. (Again…thank you men for your help). CHECKLIST WHEN LEAVING YOUR UNIT In the next several weeks many of you will be returning to your northern location. It is very important that each unit owner have a friend, neighbor or relative inspect your unit in your absence on a regular basis. I have seen minor to major damages occur while the unit owner was absent and no one was listed to inspect their unit. Please remember to sign out when leaving for the summer and include the name and telephone number of your HOME WATCH person. Turn off the main water supply to your unit, leaving the water on to your outside faucet. Set your A/C and humidistat according to the instructions. Lock all windows and doors. Remove furniture, plants, etc. from outside and store in your unit or storage room. Shut and lock hurricane shutters. Empty your refrigerator. Remove all perishable items including open cereal boxes. Unplug or turn off the breaker to your hot water heater and other major appliances. It is not recommended to turn off your refrigerator. Disconnect the television cable and electrical cables from your television, stereo, telephone and computer. Tell your home watcher if they turn on the water be sure to turn it off before they leave. Disconnect phone service and cable. Cancel all newspapers. Forward your mail, allowing 7 to 10 days. Make arrangements for lawn care, weed removal and the removal of fruit from your trees. Secure all items at your home weighing 100 pounds or less. Also, all boats and trailers must be secured. Please check your exterior sheds and verify that the tie downs are adequate for Hurricane Season. Thank you for your co-operation, enjoy your summer months. 2015 Blood Drive….. I want to thank the residents of ESC and Marco Shores who participated as Blood donors in our February Blood Drive. We had 24 donors with 21 units collected. What a fabulous drive, the best ever. See you again in February 2016. Thank you! Cathy Loudin 3 Anonymous letter to the Editor….. It would be nice if people that are visiting someone would park in front of the house that they are visiting and not in front of the next door neighbors, because then when the next door neighbor has company, their company has to park either in front of their driveway or in front of someone else’s house which is not fair! It would be nice if there was some type of statement put into the monthly newsletter…..Thank You. ESC Country/Rock Music Show We want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all who attended the ESC Country/ Rock music show. You made it enjoyable for all of the entertainers and contributed towards the new curtains and some needed musical items.

Even though we gained an hour in the morning, awaking to a sunny sky. It will be dark before dinnertime. So why, again, do we do this? To some degree, we may have Benjamin Franklin to thank. QUIZ: What Do You Know about Daylight Savings Time? Franklin, who penned the proverb "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise," was among the first to suggest the idea. In a 1784 essay he wrote that adjusting the clocks in the spring could be a good way to save on candles. The practice of changing the clocks has had a somewhat bumpy history in the United States. It was first established in 1918, but then repealed a year later. During World War II, the country again took up the practice to conserve energy from 1942 to 1945. ANALYSIS: Is Daylight Savings Time Bad for Your Heart? In 1966 the United States officially adopted the Uniform Time Act of 1966, which outlined Daylight Saving Time to begin on the last Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday in October. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandated a change to the observed dates so now DST begins at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and ends at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November. Incidentally, states do not have to comply with the act and, in fact, two states, Arizona and Hawaii, do not. HOW STUFF WORKS: How Daylight Savings Time Works So do we really economize, as Benjamin Franklin said we would, by adjusting our clocks? It appears, in our modern world, not really. Although a U.S. Department of Transportation study in the 1970s found that daylight saving trimmed electricity usage by about 1 percent, later studies have shown that the savings is offset by air conditioners running in warmer climates. It may not all be for naught, however. Another study, performed in 2007 by the RAND Corporation found that the increase in daylight in spring led to a roughly 10 percent drop in vehicular crashes. 14 Board of Directors President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Director Director Director Rick Maxfield Gary Charters Bev Burnham Kay Sherman Keith Avery Leo Carter Ron Hysell 419-351-0866 631-252-0615 239-732-6792 239-207-8039 574-370-6616 239-793-1942 239-213-1362 Block Reporters Amethyst ...................................................
