Hi all,
The monthly article by Anita Pearce was inadvertantly omitted from the UCO Reporter. So, with apologies, we publish it here in the BLOG:

The summer heat is on, and our pools are filled every day with those who choose to swim as an escape from the heat.  If swimming is not your choice, you can find lots of activities going on every day in the cool, air-conditioned comfort of our Clubhouse and Hastings Fitness Center. 

-

Refer to this paper and Channel 63 for listings of activities offered.  (Remember that Bingo will NOT be held from July 6th through August 31st.  Bingo will be resuming on September 7th.)

Many of our residents are here for the 4th of July holiday, and this year WPRF invites you to come celebrate Independence Day at the Clubhouse Guest Pool on Monday, July 4th from 1 to 5 PM.  Music will be provided poolside by Tommy Caruso for your dancing and listening pleasure. 

-

Snacks and drinks will be provided while supplies last, so bring your own special food and enjoy the fun! Also in the month of July, please join your friends and neighbors in our Theater on July 27th at 2 PM for a short, casual video presentation of the upcoming 2011-12 season’s entertainment lineup.

-

  Theater doors will open at 1:30 PM.  Abby Koffler, our Vice-President of Entertainment, will be hosting this preview.  Both she and I will be available to answer any questions you may have.

We will be working on numerous maintenance projects over the summer months.  We have completed painting of the exterior of the Hastings Fitness Center, and will be performing further maintenance in and around that facility throughout the summer to include, among other things, seal coating and re-striping of the parking lot and landscaping. 

-

I trust that you will be pleased with the finished project.  Many residents are calling about the decreasing number of patio umbrellas at WPRF pools.  We have been experiencing a high volume of umbrellas down for repair, and are regularly returning them to the manufacturer to make repairs under warranty.  Since there is a long turn-around time on these warranty repairs, many seeking shelter from the sun are increasingly aware of the lower number of available umbrellas.  If you use one of the patio umbrellas, it is important that you close the umbrella as you leave.  We do experience high winds here in South Florida which can be devastating to an open umbrella, causing breakage and the need for repairs.           

-

 If you are going north for the rest of the summer, please know that our staff will continue to work on maintaining the facilities while you are gone to provide you with a clean and safe environment at our clubhouses and pools upon your return.  For those of you who are here year-round, I invite you to take advantage of all of the activities WPRF offers.  It would also be my pleasure to personally visit with you – my door is always open. Enjoy the summer months, and be well.
