MARCH 9... March Charlene and Byron Durning Your Community Managers

Transcription

1 March 2014 Charlene and Byron Durning Your Community Managers It s hard to believe we are already going into March. Where does the time go? We know some of the residents that go back north will be leaving at the end of March. We hope you have a safe trip home. Please make sure nothing is left outside your home to fly around in the wind. Make sure everything of value is locked up tight. If you have flower beds please make sure you have someone to keep them weeded, and someone to wash your home during the summer months when it needs it. A flyer was attached to February s Newsletter from Park Place and there was a mistake made: the flyer said Windward Knoll is a gated community, which was meant for Winward Lakes which is a gated community. The flyers will be revised. We hope everyone has a Happy St Patty s Day.God Bless everyone here at Windward Knoll. Byron & Charlene MARCH 9...
