Summer Safety

Stay Hydrated
Dehydration is another safety concern during the summer months. Be sure to drink enough liquids throughout the day, as our bodies can lose a lot of water through perspiration when it gets hot out.

Protect Your Skin
Use sunscreen 30 minutes before going out. Reapply sunscreen every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Limit sun exposure during the peak intensity hours – between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Stay in the shade whenever possible.

Water Safety
Remember to always have adult supervision for children. Whether they’re in the pool or playing in the sand at the seashore, having someone who can help them — should an emergency arise — is essential.

Eye Safety
The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light can harm the eyes. Wear sunglasses year-round whenever you are out in the sun.
Sun damage to the eyes can occur any time of year. Choose shades that block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB light.

Report to the HOA Board June 4, 2024

The final and approved version of the article, “Understanding the HGHOA Architectural Review and Grounds Committees” was published in the May issue of the HG Newspaper.

The group provided comments for a revised draft article addressing what property projects need ARC or Grounds Committee approval so that residents have a “list” they can refer to. Changes will be reviewed at the next meeting and when appropriate will be sent to the ARC and Grounds Committee for comments.

Joyce noted that the Proxy Form revisions from the Committee are on a list of items for our attorney to review. She also mentioned that changes to our website may be mandated by Florida changes to HOA requirements.

A newspaper article about hurricane preparation, both for residents leaving HG and those staying, was approved by Craig Woolley of SSEP and will be published in the June issue of the newspaper.

Mike will take the lead on determining if changes are needed from the HOA or the HGRD on the Org Structures document so they can be sent to each Board for approval if needed.

At a future meeting, the Committee will explore use of Community TV Channels 901 and 902 for sharing information with residents.

Linda will compile a list of topics that our committee may be interested in addressing with articles in the HG Newspaper and Bulletin. The Committee will create articles as needed and work with the appropriate Committees to determine optimal timing.

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, at 1:00 pm in the HOA Conference Room.

Respectfully submitted,
Linda Lynch

June is typically a quiet time at the Glen and in southwest Florida in general. However, it is a busy time for our HOA office staff, the finance committee and your board as we work together to prepare and present the proposed 2024-2025 HOA budget which covers our expenditures from October 1st of this year through September 30, 2025. The proposed budget will be sent to the owners next month and approved in September.

Work continues on the installation of additional fiber optic cables in the front of our homes; the HOA office has published periodic updates as this project progresses.

Rick Romine,
HOA President

Flag Day - the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 - was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson's proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.
