Bellalago in the New Year!

BY DOUG GILBERT, LCAM, COMMUNITY MANAGER

T

he New Year is upon us and I know everyone is working on their New Year’s resolutions because our attendance to classes and use of the fitness facilities has increased.

Glad to see so many people working toward the goal of a healthier lifestyle. Please make sure to check the bulletin boards in the Amenity Centers for more information about upcoming events. On behalf of the Lifestyles Team, we would like to wish you a Healthy and Happy New Year!

The Management Team has grown to make the Bellalago Team stronger and the quality of service better. If you have not met the newest member of the Team (Yesenia Vélez), please introduce yourselves the next time you are in the clubhouse. We take pride in what we do…and have a good time doing so. When decisions are made that impact the community, please remember that we take time to ensure all facts are gathered so they are well-informed ones.

Staff Updates We have made a few changes in staffing (check out the new organizational chart on page 5). Starting January 1st, Jalissa Torres will become the new Membership Coordinator for Bellalago and Isles of Bellalago. Jalissa’s previous position was as a Lifestyle Attendant. Giselle Rodriguez will also be changing roles from Membership Coordinator to Fitness Director. We are very confident these changes will benefit the community tremendously!

As part of our ongoing commitment to Customer Service and always looking for ways to improve upon our service to the residents, we have brought in some new faces who exhibit excellent customer service skills! With that said, I am pleased to announce two new staff additions to the Lifestyles Team: Amy Mallinder – Lifestyles Director and Javi Mathieu – Lifestyles Administrative Assistant.

These new team members look forward to getting to know you and assisting you with all of your community needs.

BELLALAGO BEACON | JAN/FEB 2018

Staff Spotlight: Jonathan Rodriguez – Lifestyles Attendant 1. How long have you been with Bellalago/ Evergreen? I have been working here at Bellalago since November 2017.

2. Can you describe your current job in a few sentences? My daily job duties consist of making sure the center is up and running smoothly while having the proper appearance for guests and visitors. Behind the desk, I make sure that all residents and guests of residents are signed in correctly while showing IDs. We also assist residents with paperwork and also go through orientation of new homeowners or new tenants. The tasks here are basic and I try to learn as much as possible every day. My coworkers have helped tremendously with the training process and I appreciate the time they have put into teaching me the ropes. Since we are going through the winter season the pool area is not as busy, but we still have to monitor the area throughout the day to make sure rules are being followed and that the pools are functioning properly. Other than that, I just take it one day at a time and try to fulfill my job duties properly.

3. What’s your favorite thing about your job so far? My favorite thing is the atmosphere set by my coworkers and supervisors.

Everyone is easily approachable and if there is anything I have in mind regarding my job or ideas for groups, etc, I know that my opinion will be considered by the team.

4. What’s the most challenging part of your job? The most challenging part is probably just being consistent in what is expected of me while working behind the desk. I am a very tedious person and if I have expectations to meet, it will be done to its fullest extent.

5. Any final words? Thank you to Evergreen for giving me the opportunity to work with the company. Happy New Year!

Know the Rules

BY JOSE CHAPARRO, COMMUNITY STANDARDS MANAGER

H

ave you checked out the HOA’s covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) lately? If not, now’s a great time to brush up on the do’s and don’ts of the Bellalago and Isles of Bellalago community.

For those of you who are unaware, CC&Rs play a crucial role in keeping the association running smoothly. CC&Rs are legally binding rules and regulations that each homeowner agrees to when he or she purchases a unit within the association. If owners rent out their homes, it is the owner’s responsibility to inform the new residents of the bylaws as well. CC&Rs include stipulations on assessments, building design and additions, and the governance of the association. All residents need to understand the CC&Rs so they don’t unintentionally violate them; owners can be fined by the association and—in extreme cases—sued for violating the CC&Rs. While they may seem arbitrary, the CC&Rs are legally enforceable.

They also help ensure the association as a whole can thrive and that members are treated fairly and equally. So don’t be left in the dark—check out the association’s CC&Rs today! If you don’t have a copy of the CC&Rs, please visit our website at www.

BellalagoHOA.com.

BELLALAGO BEACON | JAN/FEB 2018

Why Do We Have Rules?

Every association, including ours, has several rules we all need to know about. For instance, where can we park and are we allowed to park campers, boats or trucks in our driveways? What are the limitations on the size, and number of pets we may keep in our homes? And many more.

Our association’s rules were formulated to preserve the appearance of the Bellalago community, protect the value of our common property and the individual homes, and make the neighborhood more harmonious for all of us. So it’s important to know the rules and do our best to abide by them. To keep up to date on what the rules are, and what the consequences can be for not complying, look for a list of association rules on the community website at www.BellalagoHOA.com.

Residents Enjoying Winter Events!

On December 3rd, residents enjoyed the Winter Wonderland at the Bellalago Boat Dock. This event was an afternoon outside in the sun with an awesome snow slide - kids and adults loved it! Ana and Elsa made an appearance, there was a giant snowman, crafts, and of course Santa. Over 150 attended the first ever Winter Wonderland and this was also the first time in a few years that Santa has been to Bellalago.

Then on December 8th, Bellalago residents enjoyed Blend! Blend is an Acapella group and they sang some Christmas music along with other classics. We had a surprise visit from Santa, and some residents won prizes for wearing their festive ugly sweaters. Our very own Giselle Rodriguez blessed us with singing a few songs with the group and the video can be seen on our Facebook page at facebook.com/ bellalagoandisles.

Start Getting Ready for Spring!

BY SALLY TSAKONAS, HOA COMPLIANCE/ARC COORDINATOR

W

ith the Holiday Season behind us it is a good time to start planning and preparing the landscape for spring. I recommend taking a look at the University of Florida EDIS, the Every Day Information Source. The website contains the Central Florida Gardening Calendar. It provides information on what to plant, for annuals or bedding plants and what to do for cold protection, palms and trees. It also states the type of pests that need to be monitored.

Another helpful resource is the Florida Native Plant Society. The mission of the Florida Native Plant Society is to promote the preservation, conservation, and restoration of the native plants and native plant communities of Florida. You can create your own list of plants, starting by the county. You can choose the plant site, light range and water needs. Then you can select your special interests or needs. For example, butterfly nectar and host plants, wildlife food and cover, and hurricane resistance.

For adding or removing plants, shrubs and trees, you will need 12

BELLALAGO BEACON | JAN/FEB 2018

to submit an ARC application form. If it is in an existing plant bed, photos need to be attached marked with the location of the new landscaping or the landscaping that will be removed. If you are adding a new plant bed, extending existing plant beds or planting trees, you will need a current survey marked with the location of the beds and trees. Also, if you are using a company to do the work, please provide a proposal. If you are doing the work yourself, please provide me a list with the type, size and number of the plants, shrubs or trees to be planted.

Please feel free to call me at 407-624-1147 if you have any questions or concerns. I will be more than happy to assist you.

This elegant event was held at Isles of Bellalago where in previous years it was held at The Grille. Residents enjoyed wonderful food, a funny photo booth, formal photographs, awesome tunes and to top it off, the last hour was an open bar!
