The financials for November 2022 have now been posted. In addition, the 2023 budget letter (dated 12/13/22) has also been posted. If you are interested in running for the Board of Directors, your “Notice of Intent” must be submitted to Sherry Danko on or before January 14, 2023. This information is also included in the letter she sent out in December. Please contact Sherry with any questions you may have. Thank you!

The gates are now closed and can be opened using your remote control or the gate code. You don’t need either to leave, as there is a sensor on both exit gates. If you are expecting a delivery or service, please be available to let them in or provide a contact phone number so you can give them the code to enter.

As there are fewer people in residence during the summer months, and as it appears we may have a few unfamiliar vehicles driving through the community, the Board decided to close the gates 24/7 effective July 1, 2022. Please be sure to have remotes with you and as a reminder, the gate code is available on the Magdalena Gardens web page. The Board will revisit closure hours in Fall when you are back to full capacity. Please be sure to notify your tenants and guests.

There was an error on the previous list and guidelines. The corrected list of plants for Magdalena Gardens is on the link below. Review the updated rules!! Approval must be obtained before you begin planting!

A bobcat was spotted early one morning last week, walking between building 1 & 2. Please note that you should never approach these animals! They tend to feed on squirrels, rabbits, rats, ferrel cats, etc. They are also scavengers, so never leave trash outside uncovered or small pets unattended.

It’s been a busy two weeks here at Magdalena Gardens. The plants that were originally at the back entrance were moved to the outside fence area alongside Magdalena Drive. A huge thank you to Bob Arno and Jerry for moving these plants and getting the site ready for the landscaper. Jay’s Landscaping came in last week and put in the new plants and mulch at the entrance. It looks wonderful!!

Hurricane season, here in Florida, begins on June 1st and lasts 5 months. These storms typically peaking in August and September. As with every hurricane season, knowing the essentials of how to prepare could truly be a life saver.
