FROM THE PRESIDENT: Thank you to all the residents and unit owners who voted in our most recent election on March 14, 2016. The current board of officers are ready to serve you and look forward to keeping Myerlee Circle Condominium Association vibrant and focused on meeting the needs of our members. We are at a stage of change that will challenge the board to respect the current expectations of some residents while meeting the needs of change that we will face in regards to future planning and capital improvements. I hope to tap into your opinions and wealth of knowledge about our property and facility so that the best can come about for all of us. Thank you for your support and positive words of encouragement. I look forward to working together in the days to come. Please contact me at the Association office by leaving a message and I will get back to you as quickly as possible. 239-481-8387
Board Meetings: The next Association Board Meeting will be held on April 19, 2016. It will start at 12:45pm with remarks by Steve Harris about maintenance work performed, followed by the meeting called to order at approximately 1:00 a.m. with the agenda, (posted at the clubhouse) usually concludig within 1-1 1/2 hours.
REMINDER: Please, a reminder to all association members, DO NOT FEED OR LEAVE FOOD OUT AT THE DUMPSTER!!! It is in our rules and regulations and it is sheer common sense to not feed wild, roaming or feral animals, including but not limited to cats, raccoons, birds (including ducks) and squirrels. It is prohibited and just asking for rodents, mainly RATS to come into our development. If you see anyone doing so, please discourage this behavior and let management know. We need to protect our units from this type of problem.
