OSC is prepared for Hurricane Season, which officially started June 1st, 2010.  It is imperative that flower pots, bicycles, and other non-secured items on the lower level units be placed inside the unit.  You can find more information about Hurricane Preparation under
HELP LINKS.   Please review the help links and make sure your emergency contacts have been registered with the office.  We must know how many persons are residing in the units as well as their names and contacts.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Please note that charges are incurred even if one accidentally damages property. This is your community; let us strive to keep it a place that we are proud of.

By now we have noticed the much needed and awaited front entrance landscaping byTed Conners, our new landscape and maintenance vendor.  We look forward to seeing the improvements in the landscaping of the front entrance well maintained to enhance our community. 

Rules have been posted in the barbeque area.  The rules are to remind of us of our responsibilities as unit owners and tenants when using the area.  Thank you for your cooperation.  Remember NO GLASS IN THE POOL AREA!!!

Have a safe Labor Day holiday weekend.  Protect your children by supervising them in common areas
at all times if they are under the age of 18.

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com   you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in  Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. 

Please note that you can share your thoughts about any issue on the BLOG page.  However, no anonymous comments will be posted.  Just sign the guestbook and your email address and post your comment.  It does not have to be about the web site per se and this can provide a place for unit owners to share their views or even post questions. 

Motorcycles are not approved to be on property according to our documents.

Please inform all guests with vehicles to park in designated yellow guest spaces;  no unstickered vehicle is permitted in an owner's space.  If you have an old version parking sticker, just go to the office with your license and registration, and get a new rectangular blue one.  Guests and residents must park their cars head in.  Exhaust ruins our vegetation.

Currently the hours for the pool and clubhouse are 7:30 AM - 10:30 PM.  If one is there after 10:30 PM one is considered a trespasser, and any member of the community has the right to call the police.  Remember A building is right behind this area and deserves to have some quiet time after this hour.  Also effected are the other two buildings in close proximity: J and G and sometimes the noise carries as far as B building.  Consideration and respect for others go hand in hand.

If you should witness someone knocking down the gate pole, please make note of the time, tag number, and contact the office.  In the event of an emergency, such as a broken gate, or a major leak, dial 311 from the front gate, or dial the office number.  During closed office hours, it will redirect to the emergency number.  Otherwise contact the office directly.  Make sure the office has a set of keys to your unit in the event of an emergency.

Our website
Sales & Services page will be accepting postings of For Sale items, as well as listing your Professional Services.  If you have a personal business and wish to share your contact information it can now be posted under Sales & Services, i.e. computer repair, plumber, exterminator.  At this time, there is no fee attached to advertising for unit owners.  The purpose is to assist unit owners wishing to sell personal items, and inform the community of services you may have to offer.  If you have a business website, a link can be established.  Please contact Barbara Lyons, Web master via this link to list your ad, or place your information in an envelope marked Sales & Services, and deliver it to the office.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the Newsletter, please submit your writing, or photo files to Barbara Z. Lyons, our current web master.
