A note from Laura

By -

If you didn't get a t-shirt Saturday during the Yard Sale event, we still have some left and will bring them to the monthly meeting. They are $15 each. Proceeds will go towards landscaping and upkeep of entrances, including continued replacement of the flag.

(The picture on back of t-shirt is from a Sunshine Gardens ski show in the 50's, when Lake Sarasota was Sunshine Gardens. A bit of the unique history of our community that few people know about.)

We extend a sincere Thanks to Mickey Schweitzer for purchasing the T-Shirts as a donation toward our efforts.

Our monthly meeting will resume on June 12 at Sarasota Baptist Church - Room #100 @ 7:00 pm. We plan to have an open forum to discuss landscaping of our medians.

Will also have sign up sheets for the following endeavors:

Citizen's Patrol
Welcome Wagon
Beautification
Community Directory
Yard of the Month

Hope to see you there !

Thank You :)
Laura Mathis

I cannot be at the meeting this time but would like these subjects discussed.

Water Moccasin or Water Snake?

At the Lakeview Park Clean-Up, some residents were picking up some branches of a tree when a dangerous Water Moccasin slithered out and dashed into the water. It might be useful to know one when you see it, but the differences between the venomous Florida Water Moccasin (or Cottonmouth) and the wholly harmless Water Snake can be subtle. Here are a few images and links that might help. First, here's a Water Moccasin Another shot of a Water Moccasin (click for a huge image): Here's the plain old harmless Florida Water Snake: Another clue (thanks Ray): When in water, Water Moccasins move on top of the water - almost as if they were gliding on the surface, like this: Water Moccasins are to be met with extreme caution. "When a moccasin is nesting or has her young in their nest it will aggressively defend that area," says Ray. "Moccasins have aggressively attacked people." Water Snakes tend to be partly submerged, partly out of the water, more like this: Click f...
