The Jamaican article, August 2024

Hello to all near and far.

As this is being written, we are one month away from our first meeting of the season. We have some exciting things planned for you. We are kicking off with Thrifty Tours in Sept.
This is an incredibly fun-filled day. Come and get subr all the details.

October will be a big and important meeting with South Trails Fire coming to give us information on how best to stay safe and prevent fires in our homes.

I want to reach out to all those (both near and far) who contributed to the fund for Gino. While this wasn't an HOA event, many of us on the Board were happy to step up and get it going. Thanks to your generosity, Gino is back on his feet and back to helping his neighbors in the park with yard work. Thank you to all who participated.

We have a fantastic number of vendors (and diversity) for our Nov 9th Home and Garden Show.
Again, food and beverages will be available. We look forward to you all being there!!!!
