By John Bowker December 4, 2013, was truly a remarkable day for Sun City Center and, of most importance, a day of recognition for the man who has led our community through some complex but exciting times. Edmund Barnes will be retiring from our Board of Directors on January 2, 2014. He has served as president of the Community Association since
HAVE YOU RECEIVED YOUR 2014 CA DUES BILL? Residents of Sun City Center were to receive their bills in the mail by December 20 for the 2014 Community Association dues we approved in our vote on Dec. 4. The amount is $275 per member payable to Sun City Center Community Assoc., Inc. and is due by January 31, 2014. But wait! Things are different this year. (1) You may NOT pay your dues at the CA Office. Please do not try to cajole the receptionist or other office staff personnel into taking your envelope. They have instructions, based on recommendations from the auditors, not to help in the processing of the dues. (In effect, the people who are receiving the money should not be the ones counting the money. Makes sense.) (2) The only ways to pay your dues are to mail your check, and the coupon you received in this week’s mail from the BB&T Bank to: Sun City Center Community Assoc. Inc. P.O. Box 628207 Orlando, FL 32862-8207 OR take your payment to the local BB& T Bank (next to Taco Bell.) And please remember to enclose that coupon with your payment, so you will be properly credited.
2009 and it was so rewarding for all of us gathered in the Chambers of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners on December 4 to hear the ringing tribute read into the record about his accomplishments and to have each commissioner rise to shake Ed’s hand as he was presented the Certificate shown on page 5. Following the meeting, Ed Barnes commented, “An
award like this is not the result of one person, it takes a team effort, and key to that team effort is our Executive Assistant Carol Donner, who is the continuity of the Board of Directors and the person we go to for Board history. Without Carol, there would be many false starts and miscues; she is the behind the scenes coordinator that ensures all of the bits and pieces of a project come together at the right time.”
(3) If you have your regular first class mail sent to an address outside of Sun City Center, you will want to make arrangements to get that mailing from the BB&T Bank forwarded back to you here so you can make payment by the end of
January. Remember that you must have that coupon they are mailing to you to make your payment. Envelopes are available at the CA Office. See below BB&T’s apology for not including the envelopes.
