Volunteers warmly welcomed

From Board President Bill Pitts:


Residents of Lake Sarasota: 
 
The Lake Sarasota Community Group is having a Christmas "Adopt a Family" fund raiser on November 6th, 2010.  The event is being staged to help support needy families in our community.  The event will be held at the pavilion at the park.
We will have games for children, raffles, arts and crafts and prizes and food for sale.  All proceeds will go to help needy families in our own community.  WE NEED A LOT OF HELP!!!  Please volunteer to work for a couple of hours at the event.  It is for a very worthy cause and we're sure it will give you a great "warm and fuzzy" feeling when you help out.
Please contact Ray or Connie Bresciani at 371-1180.  They will be coordinating volunteers and they are anxious to hear from you.
Remember, it only takes a little from a lot of volunteers to get a lot accomplished and to make for a much better Christmas for some needy families!

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.
