The President’s Corner:
Happy Spring! It has finally
arrived and everyone seems to be happy the long winter is finally over. I see
lots of you outside working in your yards and sprucing up. Now is a great time
to spring clean outside as well as inside. Curb appeal helps everyone in our
neighborhood and keeps our property values up. Drive by your home and look at
it with “fresh eyes”. If you were
looking for a home in our subdivision would you want to go inside your home to
take a closer look? Remember, trimming overgrown shrubs, pressure washing, a fresh
coat of paint can do wonders to the appearance of your home.
Our membership discount program
was a huge success! We now have over 35 participating merchants/services in the
Gulf Breeze area. If you have not heard
about the SRSH membership discount program contact Don Richards or Margaret
Cunningham they will be delighted to talk with you about joining and all of the
benefits membership brings. Remember, by using your discount card just a few
times you can recoup your membership dues! We have had tremendous response for
membership so far this year; unfortunately though, we have some 60 families
that were members in 2009 that have not renewed their membership for 2010. Renew today and get your membership discount card
working for you!
If you have never been a member
we invite you to join us in our efforts at making Santa Rosa Shores
THE BEST neighborhood
around. If you lease your property you
can still get an Associate Membership for $25 and reap the benefits of the
membership card as well.
Color copies of The Tidings are
being distributed to all current paid members and black and white copies will
be given to the remaining residents and absentee owners who have not yet paid
in 2010.
Our next General Membership meeting is scheduled for Saturday, April 24th, 8 am, at Tiger Point Golf Club. We will have a short update from each
Committee Chair. Please plan on attending.
Kindest regards – Carol Brogdon -

Easter Celebration
A VERY SPECIAL “Thank you”!
We are very grateful to Dennis
and Teresa Malloy of TMT Printing for providing the complimentary printing,
folding, and stapling of our newsletter.
It is members like these two that make SRSH the wonderful community that
we are and other communities wish they were like! Don’t forget to give Dennis or Teresa a call
if you need printing done!!!
Membership and Quarterly
Meeting
If you received a color copy of the Tide-ings, we show you have paid
your 2010 dues. A black and
white copy means we show you still need to pay your
dues!
Remember, membership is for all of our residents in Santa Rosa
Shores. Leasees may join our association
with an associate membership for only $25 and all local owners may enjoy the
benefits and perks that come with your Santa Rosa Membership Card. Please go to our website and check-out all of
the participating merchants and the great things going on in our community, you
may become a volunteer for our Association.
Call me or any Board members for more details. If you have paid your 2010 dues and have not
received your Membership Card, contact Don Richards at 404-915-9394 or don_richards@bellsouth.net.
Our next quarterly homeowner’s
meeting is Saturday, April 24th at 8 a.m. in the Tiger Point Golf Clubhouse. We will be holding our usual drawing for all 2010
members in attendance, so get your dues in and come to the meeting. To enter, please complete the red form on
page 4, clip it out, and bring the completed form with you to the meeting. Then drop the form into the bowl for a chance
to win!!! If you only have a black &
white form, bring it with you to the meeting along with your membership check
and we will get you all signed up! We
look forward to seeing you at our next Quarterly Homeowner’s meeting!
As of press time, we are close to 251 paid
members for 2010, but one alarming stat is that we still have over 60 residents
that paid in 2009, but have not joined our efforts for 2010. Please do your part and join now!

Committee:
We have completed responses to
the Requests for Additional Information (RAI’s) for both the FDEP and the U.S.
Army COE. Additionally, we have
responded to several letters from “concerned” citizens as required by FDEP and
the COE. We are getting quotations from
firms for the Pilot Project and a small amount of dredging which is part of the
Pilot Project.
We are awaiting responses from
the FDEP and the COE at this point. We
are hopeful that a response in the next 30 days will allow us to begin the
Pilot Project in May.

Neighborhood Watch:
From our Community Watch group -
We continue to have petty thefts from unlocked cars left in driveways and on
the side of the road. Lock your vehicles and do not leave garage door
openers accessible or leave garage doors up, particularly at night. Remember,
the Sheriff’s Department cannot be everywhere – watch out for your neighbors
and report suspicious behavior or crime in our area.

Swenson Park & Events Report:
Approximately 400 people turned
out for the annual Swenson Park Easter Egg Hunt. All 1600 eggs were taken
within 15 minutes and then it was off to other entertainment, games and
refreshments. We even had the adults compete for Easter baskets and that
was a riot…they got very competitive!
I want to thank everyone that
volunteered their time, local businesses and neighbors that donated baskets and
baked goods to help make this event a huge success. Also, I want to thank
the Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church for all their help with activities and
food. These events make our community stand out...You guys are the
greatest.
The park is on a roll and the
number of families using it is increasing. I am still working on having
the exercise stations put in and maybe some new equipment installed. Thanks for your patience on getting the
exercise stations done.
Have questions, ideas or maybe
you would like to do some landscaping at the park? Call me.

Yard-of-the-Month:
Spring has sprung and have you
seen the Mazenkos’ beautiful yard at
1062 Harbor Lane? Check it out, it’s
gorgeous!
Congratulations to Michael and Ann who will receive $25.00
from the Santa Rosa Shores Homeowner’s Association.
Thanks for making our
neighborhood look good!
Darlene Seeley - 934-1130
Appearance Committee:
Keep our neighborhood litter free by recycling paper, cans,
and plastic containers. If you need to
dispose of styrofoam p-nuts, please do not place them in your garbage can as
they tend to blow around our yards and streets.
Rather, drop them off at Mails-A-Breeze for recycling. Plastic grocery bags and newspaper wrappers
can be recycled at Wal-Mart, Winn-Dixe, and Publix. Keep our neighborhood clean and green.
Dave Crossman – 206-6917
