Soon the members will be voting on the 55 plus DeedRestriction Amendment. A special meeting will be held at theClubhouse on Wednesday February 27th at 7:00 pm to answerany questions you may have. We have posted additional informa-tion on our website WWW.Brookridge.com and click the 55 PlusInfo link.

The pool deck-resurfacing project will begin this month. We willmake every effort to limit the pools down time. Once completedwe feel confident that the current residents and prospective buy-ers will look out on the pool and be very impressed.

A reminder to those homes living along Brookridge Blvd; Pleaseedge your lawn back off the roadway in preparation for the sealcoating and striping work coming up. This will help reduce thecost of extra work needed before they seal coat. Again, Thank youto those homeowners that I have noticed have already complet-ed the edging.

If you plan to leave Florida early this year due to the heat, pleaseremember to turn in vacation cards and check for loose objectsaround the yard. They could become projectiles if we get anystorms this summer.

Anda note was made to save Wednesday March 13th, this yearfor our St Patricks Day party in the clubhouse. Annual duesof $10 are now payable for 2013. Coffee and bagels withcream cheese were served after adjournment.

A few of us took a road trip to visit the Pickle Ball courts atHighpoint. This game is played on courts roughly half thesize of a tennis court. The paddles are similar to, but slight-ly larger than ping pong paddles. The balls are hard plasticwiffle balls with holes, each ball a little bigger than a tennisball. We decided to give this sport a try here on our tenniscourts on Thursday afternoons at 2:00 pm, weather permit-ting. We have purchased 4 wooden paddles and 4 balls tostart - for all to try. We will tape off the tennis courts toapproximately the standard size for Pickle Ball and see whathappens! Everyone is welcome to give it a try.

We are out there taking advantage of the great weatherevery morning from 8 till 10, except for Sundays. It would begreat to see some new faces! All skill levels are welcome.
