MYERLEE CIRCLE NEWS LETTER
OCTOBER 2017 ===========================================================
WELCOME BACK TO THE CIRCLE: A warm welcome back to the Circle to all our friends and neighbors returning from up North for the season. Looking forward to see you at the upcoming weekly and monthly events.
As you all know, Hurricane Irma paid us a visit on September 10th. It was quite an experience! Fortunately our community didn’t suffer much damage. We are so grateful for that. A few of our residents had damaged roofs and we lost quite a few trees.
THANK YOU!!! Our thanks to David and Sandy Cummings, Paul Salvagin, and other volunteers for all their help before and after hurricane Irma. You went above and beyond, and we are grateful. Thank you so much.

NOTE FROM THE BOARD: After Hurricane Irma, debris pick up may not be for a month or more. Gutter and fascia repair will be done once the tree work is taken care of. Thanks for your patience.
Water Outage: Due to rain last Tuesday, the water outage has been rescheduled for Tuesday October 10th at around 8:30 and lasting 2 to 3 hours. This outage is necessary so that seven of our residents can have their shut off valve replaced. These valves have been identified as not functioning properly or leaking, and are the responsibility of the condo owner. Apex Plumbing, a licensed plumber will be on site to do the work.
Trash and Treasure: We find that the space in the maintenance building is very limited due to the large number of items already donated for the annual trash and treasures sale. If you have items to be donated, please wait until just before the sale in January to have them picked up by maintenance. Thank you
