Hello Residents of Lake Sarasota:

We had a very interesting and informative meeting on Tuesday night. We had guest speakers from Florida Power & Light who discussed how we can lower our electric bills. It was valuable information.

We will be having another guest speaker on November 10, 2009 (7 pm). A representative from the Sarasota Fire Department will be at the meeting to discuss a program they have to replace batteries in your smoke detectors or actually provide you with a smoke detector free of charge. YOU MUST BE AT THE MEETING TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE BATTERIES OR THE FREE SMOKE DETECTORS!

At Tuesday's meeting we had a treasury report, a report from the citizen's patrol (which was very positive), and we chose 3 new homes for the Yard of The Month Award.

Please be advised that we will be having a community garage sale on November 7th. For information on the sale and to be included in map, please call Sandy Allen at 321-5582, or email her at sallen11@comcast.net

At our meeting on December 8th, we will be having a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Walmart. Be there so that you have a chance to win!! It could come in handy for Christmas!!

We have also found out that Santa Claus will be visiting Lake Sarasota on December 20th. Please step outside and say hello to Santa as he rides by on the fire truck.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO COME TO OUR NEXT MEETING ON NOVEMBER 10TH, WE'RE SURE YOU WILL FIND IT INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL.

Bill Pitts
President

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.
