PLEASE CLAIM YOUR BELONGINGS
During the garage power wash project many loose items were cleared from parking spaces and placed in the storage cage (at the lift station area of the garage). Many of these items remain unclaimed. Perhaps they have not been missed or have been forgotten.
We would like to give everyone an opportunity to collect their property. Please contact the front desk at 951-0260 or in person if you have any-thing to claim.
Unclaimed property will be donated or thrown out in the near future. So please let us know within the next 2 weeks if you have anything in the stor-age that you want to retrieve.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
PLEASE CLEAN UP
AFTER YOUR PET
Several times this month pet drop-pings have been left out-side in the circular driveway and lobby front door area.
We are a pet friendly community but this practice is unacceptable and inconsiderate to the staff and your fellow neighbors. Please have the decency to pick up after your pet!
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.

SHOPPING CART COURTESY
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE !
It is very important to remember to return shopping carts to Publix.
Carts are being left in the common areas (especially the garage). An unattended cart can be dangerous to your neighbors in case of emergency it blocks an open path and it is discour-
teous to the dedicated staff members who must remove and return abandoned carts.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND COOPERATION!
The Broadway Promenade WiFi system is secure which requires a log-in name and pass-word. The Broadway network is capable of recognizing devices once they have success-fully accessed it and will automatically connect them when on campus.
All WiFi devices have a MAC (machine access code) or WiFi number. It’s an alpha/numeric 2 digit series separated by a colon. An administrator can enter these numbers into the network. We also monitor “Log-In Attempts” and can automatically enter new devices.
When you have guests they can also access the network using your email and password. We also have guest log-in and password cards available at the front desk for your visitor or guest’s convenience.
As always, anyone who would like to try the wireless network can contact the manage-ment office for temporary no charge access.
Charges are the same: $100.00 for access through the building’s network. Upload/download speed can vary with this option. For maximum signal strength: $200.00 for a gateway (hotspot) hardwired directly from our Comcast Business Class Routers directly into your unit.
Contact: Bob Pirollo at: [email protected] for any questions you may have.
PARKING
Every unit at Broadway Promenade has a least one assigned parking space. Please be sure to use the space(s) exclusive to your unit every time you park.
Should you need additional parking, additional spaces can be rented or purchased by contacting the Front Desk during business hours. Kindly DO NOT just park in an empty space without authorization, doing so creates much inconvenience and confu-sion when the rightful assignee attempts to utilize the space.
All vehicles must be properly registered and display the purple parking tag in the lower left windshield of the vehicle. Thank you.

The celebration of Love and where it all began
Valentines day origins have been traced back to the Roman celebration of Lupercalia. Held on February 15th, Members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, honored the gods Lupercus and Faunus (god of agriculture) as well as the founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus. The cel-ebration was a fertility festival. A gathering was held at the sacred cave (believed to be where the infants Romulus and Remus were cared for by the she-wolf (lupa). The priests would sacrifice a goat for fertility and a dog for purification. They would make strips of the goats hide and dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets. Women and crop fields would be gently slapped with the bloodied goat hides. It was believed all touched with the goat hide would be more fertile during the year. Legend says that later in the day all young women in the city placed their names into an urn and the city’s bachelors would pick a name and they would be paired for a year. Many of the pairs ended up marrying.
So, how did this evolve into Valentines day? According to legends, Emperor Claudius felt that single men made the best soldiers and it was outlawed for young men to marry. Many of the young couples that came together as a result of the Lupercalia drawings fell in love and wanted to marry. A priest named Valentine disobeyed the emperor and married the couples.
Valentines day is a mix of pagan and Christian celebration. The Catholic Church has 3 St. Valen-tines (Valentinius) all of whom were martyred. Some claim that St. Valentine is honored in the Church on February 14th as that was the day of his death or burial (probably around 270 AD). Others feel that he was honored in mid February to Christianize the pagan holiday.
There are several versions as to how Valentine’s day became a celebration of romance:
One story says that the priest named Valentine who performed many secret marriages for the young lovers was discovered and sentenced to death and buried the day before the Lupercalie Celebration.
Another story says that while Valentine was imprisoned he fell in love with the jailor’s daughter and prior to his death sent a love letter signed “From Your Valentine”.
Lupercalia eventually became outlawed as being “un-Christian” at the end of the 5th century when Pope Gelasius declared February 14th St. Valentines Day.
It was not until the middle ages that the date became associated with love. In France and Eng-land it was believed that February 14th was the beginning of birds mating season which added to the notion that Valentines Day should be for romance.
How did Cupid get into the Valentines day scene? Well, mythology tells us Cupid is the son of Venus (goddess of love & beauty). Cupid was known to cause people to fall in love by shooting them with his magical arrows.
Cupid himself fell deeply in love with a mortal named Psyche and married her. Venus, jealous of her daughter-in-laws beauty, forbid Psyche to look at Cupid. Psyche disobeyed and eventually died performing harsh punishment tasks.
Cupid brought Psyche back to life and the gods moved by the love, granted Psyche immortality. Cupid thus represents the heart and Psyche the struggles of the human soul.
