re: This week's news

This week we have our upcoming Annual Membership meeting on February 13th at the community clubhouse. The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm immediately following registration which begins at 5:00 pm.
Hopefully, each of you have filled out your proxies and either returned them to Rampart or are planning on bringing them to the clubhouse on Wednesday evening.
 
This event is very important to our community, hope to see you all there.

MOMS Club begins new service project

Three issues often weigh heavy on the minds of new moms: how to loose the extra pregnancy pounds, how to find time to exercise, and how to establish healthy habits for their families.  The MOMS Club (Moms Offering Mom Support) Club of Wesley Chapel will address these hot topics at its next meeting.  A fitness trainer will be there to talk about nutrition, fitness, & our health.  Also at this meeting, the MOMS Club will begin collecting new and/or very gently used teddy bears and other stuffed animals to give to local Emergency, Police and Fire Officials to carry in their vehicles to comfort children at accident or crime scenes. 

The MOMS Club of Wesley Chapel is a non-profit organization that offers playgroups, field trips, park days, mom's night out and much more.  Prospective members are invited to attend the next club meeting on Monday, February 18 at 10am at the Lexington Oaks clubhouse.  This chapter of MOMS Club in Wesley Chapel is open to any stay-at-home mom who lives in the Wesley Chapel area.   Please contact Krista at (813) 929-6886 or email at wcmoms@yahoo.com for more details about the club and other upcoming events.

Please add in your next issue….

 

Parents dropping off their kids for the school bus in the morning should be courteous of other people's property while parking their vehicles in front of neighboring homes.

 

There has been a significant problem in Saratoga on the corner of War Admiral and Saratoga, where people have damaged lawns with their vehicles by parking on or running over the grass.  In addition, there is a congestion of cars idling in front of people's homes on both sides of the road while they wait for the bus.

 

If you are one of these people that drops their child off, please be courteous of other people's property.  Do not park or run over any grass in a person's home. Do not park or turn into the driveway's of nearby neighbors.  Do not leave your car idling for long periods of time in front of people's homes.

 

Thank you.mweibe@hotmail.com

I am absolutely frustrated at what I see EVERY morning between 6:10 & 6:20AM.  I leave my village & speeders whipping by me.  I flash my lights & it is totally ignored.  I also see this problem  anywhere between 5:30 - 6:30 PM.  I followed several cars on a particular evening and they were all going into Maywood, this does not account for other village.  Most of the time, in the evening, drivers are talking on their cell phones & not paying attention to anything. If cars are doing the speed limit of 35mph in the left lane cars go into the right lane, pass you & speed into the left lane, especially on the round about.  I guess the CPW is right, unfortunately it will take a very serious situation before people realize this is not the Daytona speedway. vgreco1@tampabay.rr.com

Hello Folks,
 
Communication in communities is important and is very helpful to get things accomplished when necessary.  Our community has been very lucky to have means of important information reaching many homes.  Many efforts are in play in here, and imagine if we all didn't have this.  How would we all get things done ?  Ever since I moved in here, it has been comfortable to know, we have residents that go the distance and assert themselves in many community projects.  This is great and we all should applaud all of them.  When people travel to search for a home, it's a natural instinct to observe the surroundings where you might buy a home and settle down.  We do this for our own safety and to insure our families will be comfortable.  We all buy with good intentions and do the best we can.  Within our community, we have many community projects going on and it appears to be working 100 % for all who participate.  This is good, because it expresses interest and concern for one another. 
I know, many of you have positions with jobs and many have the positions of raising little ones as well.  But there are still some who have  time to get involved with some projects that could benefit not only yourselves, but your neighbors and friends that live in here. 
Our Lexington Oaks, Crime Watch Patrol Organization is just one of the projects in here that make a difference.  Four and a half years of a difference and still going strong.  I have come to an understanding that this community has accepted us and supports us 100 % as well.  This is good also.  And from all of us, we sincerely thank you for your support.  I guess you all know what's coming next .  Right !!!!
What we are trying to do in here is to make our community a safer place to live for all of us.  I know at times, we say to our selves, " NA, It Couldn't Happen Here ", and we move on to other thoughts. Well, things do happen and many of us never find out without taking the time to get involved.  For instance, our Pipeline News has much information and without this, it could be months before you ever even find out.  Folks, our program would be nothing without people like you, and believe it or not, the more residents we have with us, makes a big difference.  I believe by now , after 4 and a half years, this entire community knows our intentions for doing what we do.  So, there is no need to constantly request members to help.  This has always been an on going request from us and probably will stand as such.  Yes, we need dispatchers and patrollers to help us.  Just two hours per week will surely help us.
If you cannot help, I would like to request some input from some who can E-mail us with suggestions that could better our organization.  Or even give us information about things that are taking place close by to your homes that are not favorable to you or your neighbors.  We keep residents names and addresses confidential and always will. We are all residents that will listen and apply anything that will better the system.  Please E-mail me at :  LexingtonoaksCWP@aol.com with any suggestions that could help us.  Your input is important to all of us.
 
Thank You For Listening,
 
Sam Fulciniti,   President
                       Lexington Oaks, CWP
