COVENANT REVIVAL Documents regarding the revival of the Sorrento South deed restrictions were sent in early July to homeowners in the five units that constitute Sorrento South. An explanation was provided to explain the revival process, and those with questions were encouraged to contact the Association President. Owners were asked to sign and return the Joinder and Consent form by July 25, 2010 in the postage paid envelope enclosed. A majority (51%) of the owners in each unit must agree to revival of the covenants if that entire unit is to be subject to deed restrictions. If the vote is favorable, the next step is to amend the covenants to conform more closely to the version we have been operating under since 1997. That will require another vote. In the end, the Board of Directors hopes to have updated covenants that apply to all Sorrento South homeowners because they believe it protects our property values. (Just ask one of the area’s realtors!) If you have not yet returned a Joinder and Consent form, you can expect to be contacted by a member of the organizing committee for your neighborhood unit. CANAL CONCERNS The Board of Directors has received complaints from those who live along our waterways about speeding watercraft. The canals are no-wake zones with posted speed limits. Please make sure that you and your family members observe these limits whenever navigating the canals. This is necessary to prevent erosion, protect manatees, avoid damage to other boats, and minimize noise. We understand that Fish & Wildlife officials will be stepping up patrols in the intracoastal waterway and its canals. By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he’s too old to go anywhere. -- Billy Crystal |

SAY WHAT? A man was telling his neighbor in Sorrento South, “I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me $4,000 but it’s state of the art. It’s perfect!” “Really,” said the neighbor. “What kind is it?” “Twelve thirty.” THE SENILITY PRAYER God grant me the senility To forget the people I never liked anyway, The good fortune to run into the ones I do, And the eyesight to tell the difference. |
