Next Neighborhood Meeting Tues. Sept. 6 - UPDATE

By -
The next meeting of the Lake Sarasota Community Group (all-volunteer, anyone who can make it is welcome) will be Tuesday, Sept. 6, (instead of the usual Thursday time) from 7 - 8:30 pm.

As Joy says:
Meet to talk about Lake Sarasota — the community, roadwork, beautification, security, etc. We'll also be talking about plans for our upcoming fall festival! The meeting is at Sarasota Alliance Church, opposite Chaucer, in the conference rooms behind the church.



A number of people expressed interest in helping produce a fun neighborhood party. This is the meeting to attend if you want to be involved!

Also on the agenda:

Flag: Replacing the flag and rope. We hope to fund this and get knowledgeable residents to help choose a new flag (material, size, vendor, etc.) and put it up.

Flooding. Last week saw heavy rains from Hurricane Hermine. We want to document where our streets and yards flood - get photos and addresses - and share with the County.

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."
