| Dear Quail Valley Friends, This newsletter, along with our web site, represents a big step towards better communication. The clear and accurate availability of information is a vital part of what makes a community work well. I have seen many small victories in the few months since the launch of Quail Valley Lot Owners Association, but this newsletter is one of particular note. I trust that you will use this media and help us expand its worthiness through your participation. |

Community Volunteers
We Need You!!!!!
Since its successful turnover meeting in May of 2006, the newly formed Quail Valley Lot Owners Association has established several committees and activities for the improvement of our community. We are seeking several volunteers from our community to assist in making the following committees vital and successful:
We are looking to make improvements to our park. We feel this project should be completed in two phases.
The first phase will be to make the park a safer place for young children in our community to enjoy with their families. The first idea is to remove the dock. The dock structure has become very unstable and the teenagers are continually kicking off the slats. The dock will end up being an ongoing expense of repair, which we each will more than likely have to incur. There is graffiti written on the dock floor, and we have also seen teenagers sitting on the railing and walking along the top. This dock is an accident waiting to happen. We would like to install bollards to prohibit vehicles from driving down to the water's edge. Residents will still be able to carry their kayaks and canoes down there, as this is an extremely dangerous situation to have vehicles driving next to an area where young children are playing. A third option that we are considering is the installment of fencing around the park area.
The second phase will involve improving the playground equipment that is there and improving the overall look of the park area. We need both your input and time, and welcome any ideas or suggestions. Please contact the newsletter and the staff will forward your emails to our attention.
Thank you.
The Nominating Committee is charged with identifying homeowners interested in serving on the QVLOA Board of Directors for the 2006/07 term. The Committee is chaired by Jeff Luck, assisted by David Chenevert, Lisa Stratton and Robert Dempsey as Committee members. Election of 2006/07 BOD officers will take place at the October 30, 2006 QVLOA general meeting. Homeowners will receive an information packet several weeks in advance of that meeting, around the middle of October. This packet will contain a ballot, as well as a proxy for those homeowners who prefer to allow another homeowner to cast a ballot. Only one vote per household is allowed. Please see the Announcements page on our web site for links to the October 30 meeting notice and agenda, as well as a proxy form for downloading. We are all neighbors. The Committee strongly urges all homeowners to participate in this upcoming election. Remember that the Board of Directors determines how our association fees! are spent, and we as residents must ensure that our community continues to improve under the most capable guidance of the new board. This can only be done with the full support of the entire Quail Valley community.
Thank you.
At the August 9, 2006 meeting, the members of the Quail Valley Board of Directors, along with the overwhelming support of the residents in attendance, approved the adoption of the Neighborhood Watch program for Quail Valley. Many thanks to all the residents who have generously offered their time, assistance and support towards the efforts to see that a neighborhood watch program is initiated here in our community. The first Neighborhood Watch meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 4, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. at Minneola City Hall. Deputy Walter Wolf of the Community Services Division for the Lake County Sheriff's Office, and Lt. Greg Link, head of operations for the Lake County Sheriff's Department in Minneola will be attending. We welcome your ideas, concerns, and suggestions at this meeting. We look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you.
