August Message From Your Board President
Congratulations to the NEW Board!! We have an exciting year ahead. To
start it out make sure you attend to the General Meeting on August 8. After the
regular meeting we will plan this year’ events. The Board will help with your
events. Like Art Tipton’s Casino Night, he is planning the whole event, he is
rounding his own people to do everything. This is the way we would like to see all
events this year. The Board will put on the free events.
I would like volunteers to help with the Breakfasts this year. The Students
will still help with the serving and some prep work. It is like the Snack Bar we use
volunteers that are not Board members.
During all the events we have had, I noticed that some of you are NOT
respectful of the performers, MCs and instructions. When someone is speaking
you need to stop talking and listen carefully to what they are saying and following
their instructions. The planners of the events are trying very hard to get everyone
fed in a timely manner. When you have close to 200 people at an event everyone
can not be first. If you have suggestions bring them up at our meetings. If you
have menu ideas let me know or event chairperson.
You may have noticed that Millennium and the Snack Bar Account bought a
new ice machine. It makes 4 times as much ice that the last one did. You are all
welcome to get that ice you need. (Remember that when we have events, we do
use a lot of ice.) The Snack Bar had to buy a new refrigerator for storage, your
sodas will be cold again.
It’s time to recognize Management, Nancy, Kathy, Miguel, Jorge, Juan
Carlos and Louise for their efforts to make this the #1 wanted Mobile Home Park
in Northern Colorado. Let’s all respect the hard work they do. Remember we are
not an assisted living park. YOU must take responsibility for your actions and
home. They all try to make life more comfortable for all.
Yes, there will be changes in lighting the park. It’s in the budget, later in this
physical year.
A New Board Year is starting August 1 Let’s all help the Board make a successful year!!
MILLENNIUM MEMO “Did you hear that the Manager said the Housing Subsidy Program is ending soon?” That’s the latest rumor I’ve heard—and if a rumor makes it all the way down to our Office, it must be pretty widespread. Yeah, I know: silly, isn’t it? If this made you nervous, take heart. Per our deal with the City, 50% of the annual Surplus goes into the Housing Fund, to be used ONLY for housing subsidies. That Fund currently has a balance of $1,140,600, with an expected $500K or so added annually. We’ll pay out around $400K, so the balance is growing, not shrinking, and is sustainable indefinitely. Feel better now? Speaking of Surpluses… Thanks to your cooperation with the Income Cert process, we have a decent amount of money to spend in the new Fiscal Year. Some examples:
Street & Pathway Lighting improvements--$250K.
Tree Trimming--$86K (3rd year of a 3-year tree program).
“Replacement windows for Clubhouse uniformity”--$10K.
More Security Cameras, new Clubhouse Sound System, ramp to green waste dumpster, speed humps on longer streets, restripe street stops--$20K.
There’s more, but I thought this would give you an idea of the variety of projects we’re planning. Your Rent Dollars at Work! In Other News…
Aloha Kudos to Rick Henry & Rose Arvidson (443 Samoa), who “did a great job arranging the entertainment for Hawaiian Night.” Obviously this wasn’t their first Hula. Mahalo, Rick & Rose!
August 10 is the 19th Anniversary of The Tropics’ conversion to non-profit ownership. Can you believe it’s been that long? What do you say—should we plan something special next year for the 20th Anniversary, like I think we did for the 10th?
I saw a comment in The Breeze that a volunteer is needed to take over as Editor? Could that be true? If you’ve ever wanted to get in touch with your inner journalist, why not step up? It seems like editing the Breeze would be a lot of fun, doesn’t it?
Besides, don’t you want to keep getting these fun, informative, must-read Memos?
Don’t believe rumors, think about becoming an Editor…and enjoy the rest of the Summer. George Turk
Hawaiian Night at the Tropics Hosted by Rick Henry
Thanks to the two Great Dance Groups!!
And The Band!!
Manager’s Corner for August 2018 Thank you all for returning the Income Certification forms. Those that did not bring them in received a personal visit from Kathy. We had 100% last year and wanted to do it again. Besides being mandatory to keep our non-profit status it generates revenue for capital improvements to our park. And, yes, we are the best one -- that is what a lot of prospective residents tell us when they check it out. The financial assistance forms were due the end of July and we assisted many of you in filling them out. You should soon receive letters re qualification status, if you have not already. The annual rent increase will begin with your September statements. Please update your banking information with these changes if your bank mails the check or you pay automatically on the Resident Portal. Paying automatically is a big time-saver and prevents late charges in case you forget or are unable to come to the office. If you are under the weather, give us a call and we will arrange to pick it up. Reminder to protect your pets from the sun and hot pavement. Never leave your pet in the car and no walking on the asphalt when it is hot – it is too hot for those bare paws. Congratulations to the new Board. Stay cool in the pool and as always, enjoy your day. Nancy Payne Resident Manager
THINGS HAPPENING AT THE B-BUG Mon—Fri 8:30 am to Noon
SPEEDING
AT ONE TIME, DRIVING WAS CONSIDERED A PRIVILEGE
RESERVED FOR A SELECT FEW. NOW , FOR MOST OF US,
COMMUTING HAS BECOME A NECESSITY. WE ARE
HURRYING FROM HOME TO WORK IN THE MORNING, AND,
WORK TO HOME IN THE EVENING. WE HAVE BECOME A
SOCIETY OF "HURRY".
WHICH BRINGS UP THE POINT OF THIS ARTICLE--
SPEEDING.
WE MUST ALL BE TESTED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A
LICENSE TO DRIVE. THIS TEST COVERS THE RULES OF
DRIVING AND HOW THEY MUST BE OBEYED. ONE OF
THESE RULES IS SPEED LIMITS AND THE SIGNS THAT
IDENTIFY THEM.
THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE TROPICS IS 15 MILES PER HOUR.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS BEING IGNORED BY A GREAT
MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE AND THEIR GUESTS.
A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF OUR FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBORS WALK OUR LANES, (THAT'S RIGHT, LANES.
THEY ARE NOT STREETS, THEY ARE FIRE LANES), AND
ARE IN FEAR OF BEING HIT BY THESE SPEEDERS.
PLEASE SLOW TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS.
IT MAY COST YOU AN ADDITIONAL MINUTE OR TWO, BUT
NOT SLOWING DOWN MAY COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE.
IS IT WORTH IT ?
---Be Good
