Update on Tuesday's Meeting

By -
From Laura:

Here are the topics we will discuss:

PLEASE JOIN US AND SHARE YOUR IDEAS!!

FLAG AT ENTRANCE
If you hadn't noticed, it was hit last Friday night and bent beyond repair - along w/ bushes.
-Where should we put replacement: behind sign on west side of entrance or second median?
(first median is proposed to be removed when intersection redone, so we are likely not going to be allowed to replace it there.)

TREES FOR MEDIANS
Dimetra McBride from Forestry Dept will be out to speak to us about what types of trees are available & where they could be placed.

COMMUNITY DIRECTORY
Original vision was to use as a free resource to promote the gifts and talents of our residents
(when you need a plumber, electrician, landscaper, etc. you can find a neighbor to call)
-Would you like to be included?
-What else would you like to see in it?
-Should we incorporate as advertising in newsletter?

DUMPSTER DAY AND MEDIAN CLEAN UP - July 28th 8:00 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Dumpsters will be set up again behind fire station (Tora & Brentford) and near Lakeview Park (Hand & Lago) for large items to dispose of. We will need volunteers.

YARD OF THE MONTH

CITIZEN'S PATROL

Hope to see you there! - Tuesday, July 10th, 7 p.m., Sarasota Baptist Meeting Room.

Thank You :)
Laura Mathis

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.
