lot rents are governed by FS 723 and our voice in Tallahassee is the FMO. The owners of the developments we live in have the FMHA. Recently, the FMHA has, with the assistance of State Senator Hooper, filed Senate Bill SB 818. This bill would give an unfair advantage to the owners of our communities and have a negative impact on our way of life. This bill would permit the changing of the current prospectus without disclosure to the homeowner or proper authorities. It prohibits an experienced

There are other negative issues that affect all of us and I encourage you to contact your Senator and urge them to VOTE NO on SB 818. On the back bulletin board is additional information about this bill as well as contact information. Please email and or call the Senators listed, and encourage them to VOTE NO.

Financial Moves for Life’s ‘Inflection Points’ You’ve probably heard or read about inflection points. The term has a specific definition in mathematics, but it’s also used widely to describe historical or technological events, such as the Industrial Revolution or the creation of the internet – events that changed human existence in some important way. However, you have personal inflection points, too – and when they occur, you’ll need to make the right financial moves. Here are four of the most important of these inflection points, along with suggestions on dealing with them:
Marriage – When you get married, you and your spouse will need to discuss a variety of financial issues: What assets and liabilities do you each bring to the marriage? Should you combine your finances or continue with separate accounts? Is one of you a “saver” while the other is a “spender”? Do you share similar investment philosophies, or is one of you much more aggressive than the other? You don’t necessarily have to agree on everything, but you should at least try to gain enough knowledge so you can avoid unpleasant surprises, such as hidden debts, and find enough common ground so your household can advance toward your common financial goals. New child – When you welcome a new child into your family, you’ll need to make sure you have adequate life insurance. You’ll also want to review the beneficiary designations on any existing insurance policies, as well as on your IRA and 401(k). And if you can afford it, you may want to start contributing to a college fund, possibly using a 529 savings plan, which can provide you with tax advantages as you put money away for your child’s higher education. Divorce – It’s unfortunate, but true: Divorce is still pretty common, and it’s neither pleasant nor cheap. You might not be able to avoid some of the costs, such as lawyers’ bills, but if you and your ex-spouse can work together amicably, you both may be able to avoid serious financial disruptions. You’ll need to work out how to divide your financial assets, paying attention to beneficiary designations, which you may well need to change. Also, as a newly single individual, you may need to review and revise your long-term investment strategy to accommodate changes in your goals and your retirement income. Retirement – By the time you retire, you will have hopefully been investing in your IRA and 401(k) or other retirement plan for several decades. But once you do retire, you’ll need to determine how much you can afford to withdraw each year from your various retirement accounts. Your withdrawal rate will depend on your age, your asset level and your retirement lifestyle. And you’ll also want to consider other issues: Are you prepared to deal with health care costs? Even with Medicare, these costs may be higher than they were when you were working. And how about your estate plans? Are they up to date? Have you protected your family from the possibility of your estate going through the time-consuming, expensive and public process of probate? You may need to work with your financial, tax and legal advisors to develop an effective estate strategy.
By making smart decisions following your own inflection points, you can ease the transitions in your life – wherever life takes you. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

ACTIVITIES, ACTIVITIES - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
COMING UP IN JANUARY 2020:
The New Year 2020 brings even more events for the residents to enjoy. There are no Activity-sponsored parties in January, but lots of events to enjoy sponsored by the many clubs and groups. Please read all the publicity for these events in this issue of The Columns and enjoy another month full of action and fun in Tara Woods. Taking down the trees and undecorating in the Clubhouse is scheduled for Saturday, January 4th, right after Saturday Morning Coffee, about 9:00 AM. Decorating on November 30th was a fun time with great punch & cookies provided by the Canadian Club. We can look for more punch & goodies provided by them on January 4th. Thank you to the wonderful people who helped hang wreaths and decorations and decorate the stage so beautifully: Bobbie Mester, Rhonda Williams, Joan Wade, Nina and Dorothy Andrus; and to Carole Clark, Sue Proulx, Sharon Boehlke and others for covering all the pictures and turning them into beautiful packages. That’s a lot of work, ladies! I also want to thank the Daly family, who for the second year have put together and decorated the “Activities” tree: Brian & Dani, Russell & George. This year we were assisted by Joan Musso. Thank you, Joan.
THANK YOU!
Thank you to the Midwest Club for hosting a lovely Christmas Party for the community, and to the New England Club for hosting the New Year’s Eve Party. Our residents look forward to these holiday gatherings, and as Activities Coordinator I very much appreciate your clubs hosting them and making them special for everyone. BIG THANK YOU’s to the Outside Decorating Committee who did another fantastic job on decorations from the front entrance up to the Clubhouse. This would not have happened without Linda & John Hoos, Sue Van Sickle, Ron & Sue Proulx,
Louise & Pat Patterson, Barbara Roland, Russell Daly and Lou Dunning. Linda, John and Sue V. spent many hours decorating the entire front entrance up to and including the Guard House, plus working on and placing the Angel and Christmas trees down the Boulevard. Ron Proulx constructed the stable for our “new” manger scene, purchased hay and set up the entire scene, with his wife’s help, of course. Louise & Pat restrung all the lights on the reindeer and Barbara restrung the Angel. Russell set up the JOY sign, hung the icicle lights on the Guard House and did anything else I asked of him. Lou & Pat Dunning donated the two beautiful soldiers on the columns at the Clubhouse. Pat had designed and made them for their home use for a number of years. Lou secured them to the columns for us. Pat, we could use two more for next year! Thank you to all these people who worked very hard and overcame electrical and other problems to make our community as festive as possible for the Holidays. Cathy, our new manager, tried to solve our electrical problems, but not all the updates worked out. The upgrades to the electrical outlets down Tara Blvd., and outside the Clubhouse were an improvement, but we’re hoping to have all the outside electrical problems fixed, so next year promises to be problem free. Thank you to Bob Clark, Ed Pollitt and all Santa’s helpers who prepared and upgraded the sleigh and led the Christmas Golf Cart parade. I believe there were 29 beautifully decorated carts that made it about three-quarter of the way around the community before the rain started to fall too heavily. This is the first time in the 17 parades in which I have participated that I remember it “raining on our parade”. Our own Indy 500 sleigh crew changed a flat tire on the cart supporting the sleigh in record time and had it back leading the parade in a jiffy. In spite of the weather, et-al, the parade was a lot of fun with a wide variety of super Jello and pudding shots beforehand.
Thank you to Frank Millette, Parade Coordinator, Lou Dunning and Bill Black for being there to direct the parade in the right direction. I’m not sure if people are aware of how vital you are to keeping the parade on track. In years’ past, without direction, the parade has literally gone in all directions, becoming two or three mini parades wandering the community. Thank you, guys! Thank you to Pat Dunning and Lorraine Milligan for hosting the refreshments and Caroling at the Clubhouse, and Rod Browder, Ron Proulx and George Daly for leading the caroling. Those who came to the Clubhouse had some great cookies, delicious punch, and hot chocolate. I love seeing the decorated carts. This year was outstanding with many lighted carts and even an amazing “Florida” Gingerbread house. I appreciate all the work you put into decorating your carts and making the parade such fun. Bill Loveday was taking pictures, so check the website for some great photos.
As you plan your event, please keep in mind some basic guidelines: Put it on the website by contacting Bill Loveday. Put it in The Columns by the 10th of the month, before the event, by sending the information to Linda Beaulieu. Notify Lloyd Kelsey of Sound & Lighting for microphones, use of the big screen or other sound and lighting needs. For Kitchen supplies contact Janet Daly, at least a week before the event. As Activities Coordinator, I am available to meet with your committee early in the process to offer guidance in your preparations. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions regarding the parties and events. If I can’t answer your question, I most likely know who can. Janet Daly, Activities Coordinator janetdaly@yahoo.com 239-567-2285
SUNSHINE AND SYMPATHY To the following resident and others in our community, we wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you out and about. VITO DISARO Our sympathy to the family and friends of former resident IRENE SEEKEL. May you and your family enjoy the blessings of good health in the New Year.

Sound & Lighting will again bring in professional entertainers for your enjoyment on Sunday, January 19th, 2020. For that show we are bringing back the identical twin brothers, SPITTIN’ IMAGE, who were here before in January of 2015. They are a musical/comedy duo who sing country, classic rock and all-time favorites. They’ll make you laugh until your sides ache! More details will follow in the next few months. The DVDs of the Entertainers’ play THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR and the New Image Chorus’ production of SPANNING THE DECADES-PART ll are now available. If you would like to obtain one or both, contact Polly Brown at 239-731-1614. The cost is $5.00 each. We are in need of someone with experience in audio/video recording of some of our events – usually the Entertainers annual play and the Chorus annual show. This would also include editing the SD cards in a software program to create a final master DVD. If you have the knowledge and are willing to be an active volunteer giving some time to the enjoyment of our community, please contact Frank Millette at 239-543-2954.

GARDEN CLUB The Garden Club wishes everyone a Very Happy New Year. The next Garden Club meeting is Saturday, February 8th, immediately after the Pancake Breakfast. This is the only meeting before the Trash and Treasure, and we will be planning our luncheon in April, which is open ONLY to Garden Club Members. This would be a great time to join. To All, we will be collecting dues at this meeting. Dues are $5.00. Please place in an envelope with your name, contact number, and email address. I want to remind everyone that the donations to the Trash and Treasure make it possible for The Fashion Show to be a Free Event.
So please if you have items that are clean and useable that you are giving away, hold onto them until Friday, February 28th. (To all our wonderful volunteers, please put this date on your calendar. At 9:00 AM we will need to move tables and set up for the sale, and also the next day, Saturday, the 29th, after 1:00 PM to put tables back in place.) This year’s Trash and Treasure is Saturday, February 29th. I also want to mention that some of our monies are used to care for the Butterfly Garden near the Gazebo that Linda and John Hoos keep up so beautifully. We also make donations to CROW and ECHO. If you don’t know about these organizations,
please take the time to look them up on the internet. Since the Fashion Show was later this year it did not make the December issue. I believe everyone had a wonderful time. As usual, the food was delicious with so many different salads and desserts to choose from, and the ladies looked beautiful in their clothes from Razzle Dazzle. I cannot thank the volunteers enough, who make both The Craft Fair and The Fashion Show possible. Rachelle DellaRocca 239-322-6386 January - what to plant Bedding Plants: Plants that can be added to the garden during the coolest months include begonia, browallia,
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
by Sam Topping “For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?”
lobelia, dianthus, dusty miller, and nicotiana. Bulbs: Winter is a great time to plant bulbs that will bloom this spring. Some to try are Clivia lily, crinum, and agapanthus. Herbs: Many herbs will thrive now that temperatures are cooler, including tarragon, thyme, dill, fennel, and any of the mints. Vegetables: Continue planting cool season crops including beet, cabbage, turnip, lettuce, and broccoli. January - what to do Rejuvenate the landscape: After the danger of freezing temperatures, it’s a good time to plant woody shrubs. Water frequently to get new plantings off to a good start. Irrigation: Plants may need water if temperatures remain
higher than normal and rainfall is scarce. Shrubs and Trees: Prune nonspring flowering shrubs and trees this month to improve form. Arbor Day: Florida observes Arbor Day on the 3rd Friday of January. To celebrate, plant a tree in your yard or community. Cold Protection: If a frost or freeze is predicted, bring sensitive plants like orchids inside. Water sensitive plants in the landscape thoroughly 12-24 hours before a freeze and cover. Pests: To control scale on citrus, shrubs, and deciduous fruit trees, apply horticultural oil while plants are dormant. Apply copper spray to mangos after bloom.

Everyone is gearing up for Christmas. Thanks to the Canadian Club members that are at Tara Woods for providing the cookies and punch for the tree decorating. A new tree was purchased this year for our club with the money from our account. The December dinner was held at Dina’s restaurant at Sabal Springs. Approximately twenty people attended, and a good time was had by all. The January dinner will be hosted by the Sharps and the Redgers. Please review the
message board at the Clubhouse for further info. We are still looking for volunteers for February and March – either to host a dinner or plan an evening at a restaurant or another event. Please let Dave Sharp, Brenda Redgers or Patti Thompson know of your plans. Dave Sharp has done a great job of updating the Canadian Club member list. Please advise him if you know of any new Canadians lurking around and invite them to join us and provide him with their emails and addresses. We look forward to the Tara Woods Yard Sale in January, and Resident Appreciation Day in February. David and I will be
organizing a game for the day and would welcome ideas and helpers on that day for about two hours after the luncheon. Please call 239-599-8450 or email bzztoy@hotmail.com if you would like to have some fun. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the new year. On a personal note, I would like to thank all my Tara Woods friends for their support, kind words and sympathies, as I worked through my Dad’s illness. Unfortunately, he lost his battle in November, but there is peace in knowing he is not suffering anymore. See you soon. Brenda Redgers

TARA WOODS COMPUTER CLUB
Welcome back to our Winter residents! The Computer Club has begun a new season of free computer classes for the owners, renters, and guests of Tara Woods. These are held at 10:30 AM every Thursday in the Card Room at the Clubhouse. They are open to everyone, and there is no membership fee. The first and third Thursday of each month are devoted to Computer Basics. This is a complete course on how to use your computer. The second and fourth Thursday are reserved for General subjects and cover a
single specific topic of interest. If there is a fifth Thursday in a month, it is an open question and answer session where you can ask me almost anything you want. It’s never too late to join our group, even if you’re a total novice. This is a great time to learn the Basics; we start at the very beginning and assume that you know nothing about computers. The General topics cover all sorts of subjects, programs, and hardware, such as Windows, working with photos, multi-media, tablets, cell phones and e-book readers. We spend as much time as we need to on each topic, and the next topic to be covered is always posted on the bulletin board in the Clubhouse.
Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod
Feel free to attend only those classes that appeal to you. Bring something to take notes with, and your laptop computer if you want to follow along on it. I will answer any question you care to ask me. I also give private lessons and set up or repair computers in your home. I’ve been designing, programming, repairing, teaching, and working with computers since 1968, and can help you with all of your computer needs. Please call me with any questions or comments at 652-0488. I’m looking forward to seeing you.

TENNIS NEWS TENNIS ASSOCIATION This will be my last article for the Tennis Association. After careful consideration I have decided to resign as President. My duties as a TWHA (Tara Woods Homeowners Association) board member have made it extremely difficult to do both duties. I want to be fair to the members of the Tennis Association. I have given it my best shot, but with family obligations and obligations to the TWHA board and its members, my time is limited. Thank you for your help and support; it was and is deeply appreciated. I will help the new president transition in any way that I can. Thank you again. – Roger Rafferty
TENNIS LEAGUES
Women’s League Women’s Team – Angels The Tara Woods Angels began league play on November 14th, with an away game against Herons Glen. We finished that match with 5 wins and only 1 loss. On November 21st, the Angels played at home against Lake Fairways, finishing that match with 4 wins and 2 losses. With a record of 9 wins and 3 losses, we are in second place in the league, just one match behind first place. After the Thanksgiving break, we played an away game on December 5th against the Pine Lakes Honey Bees. With great tennis play by all of the Angels, we won all 6 of our matches. Unfortunately, the first place team – the Pine Lakes Panthers – also won all 6 of their matches that day, so we stayed in second place in the league. We play against the first place Pine Lakes Panthers on December 12th. I hope to share good news with you about that match in the next issue of The Columns. – Linda Engel Men’s League White Team – Stallions The White League decided that all games before Christmas will be exhibition only. This has given the teams time to adjust their teams for the new year. We took advantage of this exhibition time to be creative and have many different pairings. Our team really enjoyed playing with different partners each week. This was a lot of
fun. That’s it for now. Cheers. – Glen Fisher Blue Team – Tigers The Tara Wood Tigers have been having a good year. We started slowly with a 2 win - 4 loss contest and then a 1 win - 5 loss contest. Our third week we showed some improvement with a 3 win - 3 loss tie. Our next match against one of the Six Lakes teams showed our true potential as a top tier team in the league as we had a good day and beat them 6-0. The Christmas Holidays are here and in January we may have a bit of a slowdown as a few or our team members will be headed to Australia to play in this year’s Australian Open. I’m sure we will make up the loss of those players when other players will return from the Christmas Holidays. – Al Dion / Mike O’Hearn Blue Team – Mustangs Before the Thanksgiving break, the Mustangs split their match 3-3 with the team from Six Lakes. We had a bye on December 5th and we played our last game on December 12th before the Christmas break. When we return to playing our matches after the holidays, we will finally have our first home game. Also, both Blue Teams – the Mustangs and the Tigers – play each other on Thursday, January 16th, so be sure to come out to the courts to cheer on both teams. – Mike Renzulli ROUND ROBINS The 2019-2020 tennis season has started. The first Round Robin was played on November 24th. Seventeen players participated and we used all four courts. Four different rounds were played on all the courts. It was a beautiful day. Although rain fell earlier in the morning, the skies were clear, and the courts dried before tennis was played. The players enjoyed the day and we look forward to the next scheduled Round Robin date which is Sunday, January 26th. A social, dinner, and the Tennis Association Meeting followed the tennis later in the day. Thanks to Frank & Carole Neveu, those in attendance enjoyed Jet’s pizza, salad, and ice cream for dessert. – Dale Holat Submitted by Linda Engel

SHILOH SPEAKS HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020 , and I don’t mean the television show on ABC. Anyway, a new year, and a new decade will be taking place. Hopefully peace and health to all. As you well know that when the new year comes, the traditional resolutions take place. As we all know, resolutions are usually broken just after one-minute past midnight on New Year’s. Oh well, somehow, they reappear in our daily lifestyles that we take for granted, or it’s just there, and we don’t really realize it. So, in this segment of Shiloh Speaks, I am identifying common resolutions for your four-footed furry friends. Give us plenty of fresh water, rule of thumb is 1 to 5 ounces of water per pound of body weight. Give us a well-balanced diet; one which won’t make us fat. Of course, a treat is always a given. Play more, stress less, Plato said, “LIFE MUST BE LIVED AS PLAY.”Love unconditionally.
Challenge your brain. (This means teaching your pet new tricks instead of basic ones.) Relax. As for us humans, our pets need the same. Go for walks, health benefits for not only your pet, but you as well. Take that extra 30 minutes and enjoy our walks together, but the length of the walk should be determined by the size of the dog. Smile. If you smile with your pet, you’ll be surprised how they reciprocate back. Live in the moment. Get a checkup – which means, routine just like humans,
wealth is health. Make sure shots are current and don’t forget to check our teeth. Remember, February is dental hygiene awareness for us pets. I know a resolution may be a firm decision to do or not to do something. Hopefully you’ll keep with yours. Well, my time is up for this start of 2020, to welcome the New Year, with newcomers, and my regulars in our community. Remember to pick up after us at our Dog Park, and around our community of Tara Woods. Respect IT! Happy Tails. SHILOH

Year’s Eve remaining, so as 2020 marches in, the mighty New Image Chorus returns to rehearsing for the much-anticipated concert in April. We will be fine-tuning our musical selections and adding some fantastic solo performances. We continue to invite and welcome new members to join us. What better way to start your New Year than to become a part of the coolest
