Crime Prevention Tip
for the Week of June 23:
Make sure all tools and ladders are
properly secured. Tools can be used to facilitate entry by a
burglar. A ladder makes it easy for a burglar to make entry through
an upstairs window or even onto the roof where it might be easier to
break in.
Pool passes may be
requested through the website by clicking on the Amenities link. Due to only 20%
of residents picking them up at the clubhouse and the high volume of requests
through the website, please allow 5-7 days for delivery of your pool passes.
