The Manager’s Corner

October is upon us and cooler weather is just around the corner. With the cooler weather, comes the end to our rainy season and the appearance of our residents out and about in the community. These changes will enable some of our house bound residents to tend to their home’s exteriors. The Hamptons is once again awarding a $100.00 Gift Certificate to the most improved yard. The criteria for this award is: 1.) Mowing of lawn is on a regular schedule 2.) Shrubs and trees now continue to be trimmed and maintained 3.) Driveway is being kept clean, 4.) The exterior of the home is being kept in a neat and orderly manner, 5.) Weeds have now been attended to on a regular basis, and 6.) Siding has been power washed regularly. The winner of last month’s $100.00 Gift Certificate for outstanding exterior appeal was Nancy Barry. Congratulations Nancy, and thank you for all your hard work that helps to keep The Hamptons Community looking beautiful. Maintaining the beauty in our community is a collective effort and it helps to keep the value of our homes secure. The Hamptons’ management team as well as its residents are responsible for the desirable image that The Hamptons’ Community currently holds. Helping to sustain the beautiful appearance of The Hamptons is not only seen with our eyes, but is also found in our words. When a resident is confronted with a concern or problem, it is always wise to bring it to a source that will be able to help solve it and not to others who cannot. Negative messages get misconstrued and we all know how the game of telephone plays out. Many resident concerns can be easily explained if taken to the appropriate party. Naturally, each resident has a choice to voice their opinions as they please, however, being discreet and considerate keeps our neighborhood as well as its residents safe. Please keep all of this in mind when referencing our community and/or its residents. Understanding fully that everyone has strong thoughts and desires to express them, we simply ask that it is conducted properly. Therefore, we are also asking that homeowners display flags in a tasteful manner and refrain from placing yard signs. Until next month, please stay safe and remain healthy.

~Phil Bernhauser, Community Manager

7 Day Survival Kit Emergency Management has increased the number of days for disaster kits to 7 days. Please create your kit adequately so you are prepared if a hurricane comes our way. Reminder courtesy of

LADIES 18-HOLE

GOLF LEAGUE

The Ladies 18-Hole Golf League will begin

its new season on October 8. The ladies play

every Thursday morning with tee times

beginning at 8:00. The league is open to all

lady golfers: beginners, not-so-good, and

really good golfers. If you wish to play, sign

up on the sheet on the bulletin board outside

the Pro Shop no later than noon on Tuesday.

(For the first few weeks we will all meet at

8:00am and draw cards to make up teams.

Later, teams will be assigned tee times.) We

play a Stableford game format which means

you are only competing with your own past

performance and not with other golfers.

League dues are $10.00 for the season and

weekly prize money is $2.00. Prospective

members may play twice to check us out

before paying dues. We welcome all

newcomers and look forward to a season of

fun and comradery.

NOTES FROM THE CHORALIERS

The Choraliers are still here and

our neighbors are anxious for us to

get back to the Clubhouse to prac-

tice - instead of in our own show-

ers! We are still monitoring the

COVID virus situation and will keep

everyone informed as things begin

to turn around. Meanwhile, keep a

song in your hearts and stay safe.

TOPS Have you found that one of the effects of the

Covid 19 virus has been a weight gain? Well, so

have a few of us. We invite you to join us in the

card room Friday Mornings at 8:30 a.m. for

TOPS. We support each other to lose weight

with healthy eating and exercise. We have a brief

business meeting and then a short program or

sometimes a discussion time to help each other.

We are done no later than 10:00am.

Medical Volunteers Needed

RN, Pharmacist, EMT

The Hamptons CERT members have been certified by the Florida Department of Health to

distribute a pill or vaccine to prevent the spread of a contagious disease such as COVID. By work-

ing with the Florida Department of Health, The Hamptons CERT team would receive the anti-virus

medication to be distributed from our Clubhouse to all Hampton residents.

We need RNs, Pharmacists, or EMTs (currently licensed in the state of Florida) to fill some

positions for the POD procedure. You do not need to be a CERT member to assist. If you are an

RN, Pharmacist or EMT and would like to learn more about how you can assist with this program,

please contact one of the following residents so you can help make a difference in your community.

Carol Lattig – 863-667-3453 or Jim Schmalbach – 863-816-4699

cL4459@gmail.com Schmalbach@aol.com

CERT Training CERT is a program that makes great efforts to engage citizens in making their communities

safer, more prepared and more resilient when incidents occur. If available, emergency services

personnel are the best trained and equipped to handle emergencies. Following a disaster, however,

you and our community may be on our own for a period of time because of the size of the area

affected, lost communications, and unpassable roads.

The CERT Basic Training will enable you to assist yourself or others until professional

responders can get to the scene. The next CERT Basic Training session is the end of October. To

register, email your name, phone number, address, and email address to Kathy Drainville, Polk

County Public Education Officer, CERT@polk-county.net. If you have any questions,

please contact Carol Lattig 863-667-3453 or Jim Schmalbach 863-816-4699

It’s Slippery Out There!

It has been noted by several residents that a

slippery slime has been flowing onto resident

driveways and around mailboxes. One possible

remedy is to mix equal amounts of water and

bleach and spray it on the slime. In some areas

you may need to do a little scrubbing, but it

should reduce the slime that is causing the

ground to be slippery. In any case, residents

should always be cautious when walking outside.

Hamptons Helping

Hands Duck Pluck

Postponed until Sunday

3/28/21 Due to everything that has happened since last

March and our inability to sell our little ducks

at any Hamptons events, the HHH has decided

to postpone our Labor Day Duck Pluck and

change it to our Easter Duck Pluck!!! You

can still buy ducks from Rose Flynn at 214

Golf View Drive for $5.00 each. Buy a duck

and your ducks’ number will be recorded with

your name. Then on our Easter Duck Pluck

we’ll dump them all into the end of the pool

and with the help of some of our residents

providing some “motion to the ocean”, the first

three ducks to pass through to the end will split

the winnings. For those of you who are out of

town or in Canada, no problem...you can either

order ducks on Facebook or just send your

money to us and we will pull a duck for you

and register your number. Send your donation

to Rose Flynn, 214 Golf View Drive and don’t

forget to add your name to the list!!! You need

not be present that day to win. Ducks will be

on sale from now until Wednesday, March

24th. Contact any HHH officer (Rose Flynn,

Deanna O’Donald, or Diane Gallant) to buy

your duck.

Hamptons Helping Hands (HHH) wants to strengthen communication with our loyal supporters. If you would like to receive periodic emails from HHH regarding our fund raising activities, please send us your email address. In doing so, you will give us permission to include you in our group emails.

quilting with you. For more information contact

BACK TO SCHOOL During the month of August

and September, Hampton Helping Hands

(HHH) donated Back to School supplies to the

City of Auburndale's 4 Elementary schools and

1 Middle school. There was more of a need this

year than ever, as many of the schools' tradi-

tional sources dried up due to the Covid-19

pandemic. HHH to the rescue! To the Elemen-

tary Schools, we donated a total of 216 back-

packs each filled with 44 of the usual assorted

school supplies. To the Middle School, we do-

nated specifically requested items to go inside

the ‘Case It Mighty Zip’ binders we ordered in

prior years. Total spent was $4,806 and we

aren't done.

The schools are requesting a repeat of

these items for the 2nd Semester. We will still

purchase Christmas gifts for our kids this year,

but gathering information and delivery will be

different. Details to follow as these develop.

RECYCLING NEWS

Just a reminder to all and especially to our new

residents, we have a can recycle program here

in The Hamptons that accepts aluminum bever-

age cans and cat food cans. Cat food cans must

be clean, labels removed and bagged separate

from beverage cans. All cans should be depos-

ited in the shed located adjacent to the cart path

that passes by the cart parking area next to the

pool and grille. Just deposit cans through the

sliding window in the shed. There are also can

deposit barrels located at the pool. We thank

all that contribute. Any questions, call Bob

Miller 863-583-4374.

~ACH~ What’s ACH? Well, it stands for Automatic Clearing House Transactions. The Hamptons offers this service to you at no cost. The service authorizes Sun Commu-nities, Inc. to present automated clearing house debits to your checking/savings account in the amount of the balance due on your account for monthly rent fees. Your rent fee would be deducted by the 5th of each month. So, if you’re tired of bringing your rent check down to the Clubhouse Office, this is the way to go.

Sunday mornings, 9 am, at the clubhouse. Our

bible study of the “End Times” continues with a

study of the Book of Daniel and the fall of Baby-

lon. Our morning is led by Pastor Jim Locke and

sometimes guest leaders. We would like to invite

anyone that has a talent for singing or playing a

musical instrument to join us and honor God

with your talent. Come join us for singing, re-

freshments and fellowship. We are practicing

social distancing so bring your mask. Please en-

the parking lot. Any questions call Bob Miller,

863-583-4374.

For Your Information Only, A Must Read

With the Hamptons’ gates open for 12 hours daily, and

having more than 800 homes with over 1200 people dwelling in them, it’s only logical that we have some sort of additional protection. There-fore, in 2011, The Hamptons together with the Sherriff’s Department formed a citizens assistant patrol program (CAP). Our volunteers have fluctu-ated over the years and now with the pandemic upon us, our numbers have dwindled even further. Needless to say……………WE NEED HELP! The Hamptons’ CAP members and the Polk County Sheriff’s Department cordially invite all Hampton residents to join our happy volunteer group in the protection of your community. The rewards are endless and the only cost to you is a little piece of your time. Being a CAP member brings pride unto oneself and the people around them. If you are curious, have questions, or are interested in becoming a Hamptons’ patrol volunteer, please feel free to contact Tim Pralle (CAP Coordinator) at (863) 207-1629 or the Clubhouse Office at (863) 667-0275. You can also request a list of current CAP members if you would feel more comfortable talking to them.

I want to extend my gratitude and

appreciation to all of the Hampton residents

who have expressed their condolences for the

passing of my wife, Sharon Bruce who, as

you know, loved and cared for everyone she

met. She will be missed by many. Thank you

all so much. ~John Bruce
