community news

From Your Community Manager Hello from your Community Manager! I wanted to take this time to address some things that you can find in your Vitalia Amenity Guidelines, which can be found on the Vitalia website (VitaliaAtTraditionHOA.com) under the Neighborhood Tab > Restricted Documents. Please take the time to review them.

Michael Fleshman LCAM, CMCA, AMS Community Manager mfleshman@ evergreen-LM.com 772-800-2506

This is something that I get emails, phone calls and residents stopping in my office to ask about: What is your staff doing to ensure whoever is here using the amenities are authorized to do so? I have been addressing this issue since day one when I stepped in as your Community Manager. Sure, I can lock the place down and have everyone funnel through the front door to ensure badges and wrist bands are worn. However, at some point this responsibility should also be placed back on each and every resident who utilizes the amenities or brings in guests. I have placed this in my weekly updates and now is the time to implement this process. If you are asked for your ID badge and/or your guest is asked for their wrist band, please comply. If you forgot it, you’ll be asked to leave. This is what I’ve been hearing from residents, so now is the time to put it into action. See below some key points that you can find in the Amenity Guidelines regarding badges.

ID Badges

•

ID badges are solely for the use of the individual who is requisitioned the badge.

•

Homeowners that have been placed in a state of suspension by the Homeowners Association are not eligible for replacement ID badges. They are also not eligible to purchase ID badges for renewal or guest passes.

•

Members of the Lifestyles staff may complete ID badge checks in order to determine validity of resident and guest identification. It is the responsibility of the member or guest to have ID badges on them at all times and available for compliance checks.

•

ID badges broken at the lanyard connection or undamaged, but not working, will be replaced at no charge. Lost, stolen or damaged badges should be reported immediately and can be replaced for a fee.

•

Any member or guest without a valid ID badge will be asked to leave the amenities.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at mfleshman@evergreenLM.com or by phone at 772-800-2506.

This month we’ll be discussing Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight. Kate’s in the middle of the biggest meeting of her career when she gets the telephone call from Grace Hall, her daughter’s exclusive private school in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Amelia has been suspended, effective immediately, and Kate must come get her daughter—now. But Kate’s stress over leaving work quickly turns to panic when she arrives at the school and finds it surrounded by police officers, fire trucks, and an ambulance. By then it’s already too late for Amelia. And for Kate. Upcoming Books: August
