The Jamaican article, July 2024

Hello to all near and far.

As this communication is being written, we are entering our 3rd day of heavy rain.
The canals are overflowing, and the ponds are flooded. This is a once in a 500 - 1000-year event!
Hopefully when you receive this, all will be back to normal.

Around the Bay:
The giant Palm trees have been trimmed."The Mall" has been kept up and looks great (most of the time).
Regardless of what you hear, homes are selling. There were approximately 3 closings last week
and another scheduled for this week. 
The Board is communicating with our Attorney with regards to the Sports Complex. There is a discrepancy regarding 723 law and Cove's intention to charge us monthly for the cost of this development.
We have reserved the Veranda for the 25th and 26th of October for voting on this issue. Hopefully, it won't be necessary. You will be updated throughout the summer by eblast.
