FOR OVER 55 YEARS!
Dear TGO Community, Welcome back to The Great Outdoors! The Welcome Back Party brought wonderful energy to TGO as friends and neighbors returned and reunited. It was great to see so many residents enjoying the festivities and reconnecting with one another. Thank you to everyone who helped make the celebration a success. Darrin and Stephanie Huggins, owners of TGO Realty, generously covered the cost of the tent and chairs and underwrote most of the lunch expense. Fischer Nissan sponsored the putting contest and provided the winning prize. Golf Carts Unlimited hosted a popular scavenger hunt, and Lorraine Murphy’s TGO history video was warmly received. We also appreciated the club displays and the delicious cookies provided by the TGO Community Church. The celebration continued into the evening with a strong turnout for Jimmy Buffett Night. The Blue Heron team did a wonderful job, as always. It was a pleasure to see residents, clubs, and local businesses come together to make the event so enjoyable. A very special thank you to Tim and Cindy Clark for all they do for TGO. Their dedication, generosity, and willingness to help make our community a better place are deeply appreciated. Thank you to everyone who supported the Welcome Back celebration! Shortly after the Welcome Back festivities ended, the weather changed quickly, bringing significant rainfall to Brevard County over the next 36 hours. The same weather pattern has caused widespread flooding across Florida. Here at TGO, our lakes rose as the rain came down, but the water gradually receded. Throughout the heavy rainfall, our maintenance teams worked hard to monitor conditions and make sure drainage systems and outflows were functioning properly. They checked for blockages and kept water moving through the drainage system as the flow increased. Their efforts reflect years of dedicated work maintaining TGO’s drainage infrastructure and preparing it to handle challenging weather. We are grateful for the skill, commitment, and hard work our employees bring to the community. Their attention to the drainage system during this storm and the ongoing care they provided throughout the year helped our community manage the heavy rainfall. Thank you to everyone on the maintenance team for stepping up and doing such an outstanding job. As always, if you need anything, have questions, or need assistance please feel free to stop by the CSA Office or reach out to our team. We are always happy to help!

Meet Our New Golf Professionals!
We’re excited to introduce two PGA Class A Professionals joining us at The Great Outdoors Golf Club this season! Please join us in welcoming Brad Heninger and Tom Good! Both bring decades of experience, a wealth of golf knowledge, and a passion for helping golfers enjoy the game. We’re excited to have both professionals here at TGO and look forward to the experience and expertise they’ll bring to our golf community!
Brad Heninger Brad Heninger brings decades of experience in golf instruction, club operations, and competitive play. He has served as Head Golf Professional at Baker Hill Golf Club in New Hampshire and held teaching professional positions at clubs in California and Australia. Brad competed on the Australian and Canadian PGA Tours and in eight National Opens throughout Asia. His accomplishments include multiple professional victories, course records, and Player of the Year honors. He is also TPI Level 1 Certified.
Tom Good Tom Good is a PGA Class A Life Member with over 50 years of experience in the golf industry, specializing in teaching golfers of all ages and skill levels. A golf instructor since 1971, Tom has worked with everyone from beginners to experienced players and has spent the past 14 years working with PGA Junior Camps. Tom’s teaching philosophy is simple: every golfer is different. Rather than teaching one specific swing, he focuses on each player’s physical abilities, strengths, and goals to help them discover a swing that works naturally for them. His passion is helping golfers improve their skills while enjoying the game.

Our American Retired Flags Box
For respect of Veterans Day, let us not forget that the American flag serves as a powerful symbol of freedom, courage, and sacrifice. Each flag represents our gratitude to the brave men and women who have served in our nation’s military to protect the freedoms we cherish. As the flags wave proudly, may we remember those who served, honor their dedication, and thank our veterans for their service to this great country. It is our duty to handle the American flag in an honorable way, and that is why we have a flag box prominently sitting on the back patio of the CSA office. That box is just waiting for your continuous donations of American flags that have dutifully weathered the Florida sun, winds, and rain and will be retired in a dignified and respectful manner. The residents and guests of The Great Outdoors are to be commended for their efforts to place their faded, torn, frayed, or otherwise unfit for display flags in the box. Since Memorial Day 2022 when the flag box was originally put into use, 1,683 flags have been gathered and then transported to the VFW on Capron Road in Titusville where the flags are burned or given an honorable burial in accordance with the U.S. Flag Code. Please continue to honor our beautiful flag - by doing this, you honor our brave veterans. 14

Thanksgiving Fire Safety
Thanksgiving has the highest number of home-cooking fires in the U.S., with incidents more than tripling compared to an average day, making attentive cooking, safe fryer use, and working smoke alarms essential for holiday fire safety. For most, the kitchen is the heart of the home or RV, especially during the holidays. From testing family recipes to decorating cakes and cookies, everyone enjoys being part of the preparations. Making each Thanksgiving more festive than the last may have more cooking being done each year. Keeping fire safety top of mind in the kitchen during this joyous but hectic time is important, especially when there’s a lot of activity and people at home. As you start preparing your holiday schedule and organizing that large family feast, remember, by following a few simple safety tips you can enjoy time with your loved ones and keep yourself and your family safe from fire. Here are a few Thanksgiving fire Statistics from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Research: • Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires with more than three times the daily average for such incidents. Christmas Day and Christmas Eve ranked second and third, with both having nearly twice the daily average. • Unattended cooking was by far the leading contributing factor in cooking fires and fire deaths. • Cooking causes half (51%) of all reported home fires and nearly two of every five (35%) home fire injuries, and it is a leading cause of home fire deaths (16%). • On Thanksgiving day alone, an estimated 1,139 home cooking fires were reported to U.S fire departments in 2024, reflecting 321 percent of the daily average. • Structure fires occurring on Thanksgiving Day – 80% are due to cooking. And those cooking fires account for 35% of the civilian injuries sustained in structure fires that occurred on Thanksgiving. These are annual estimates for the period 2020 – 2024 (no civilian deaths had occurred in cooking fires on Thanksgiving for these years). To help keep TGO safe this holiday here are a few safety tips: • Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stove top so you can keep an eye on the food. If you must leave the kitchen, turn off the off the oven or stovetop. Stepping away for a few seconds can turn into a few minutes or longer, just enough time for disaster to strike. • Use a timer to keep track of cooking time. • Avoid wearing loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking. • Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently. • Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot, and kids should stay three feet away. • Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.

• Keep anything that can catch fire - potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging and towels or curtains - away from your stove top and oven or any other appliance that generates heat. • Keep knives out of the reach of children. • Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter with in easy reach of a child. • Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children - up high in a locked cabinet. • Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle. • Clean cooking surfaces regularly to prevent grease buildup. • Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags. • Have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket in the cooking area. Turkey Fryers may cook a tasty turkey - but can also create an extreme fire hazzard! • Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button. Did you change the batteries in each detector when the time changed? • Always check the kitchen before going to bed or leaving home to make sure stoves, ovens and small appliances are turned off. According to NFPA, turkey fryers that use cooking oil are not safe. Turkey fryers that use cooking oil are not safe. These fryers use large amounts of oil at high temperatures, which can cause devastating burns. If you want a fried turkey for your Thanksgiving meal, purchase it from a grocery store, restaurant or buy a fryer that does not use oil. Never fry a turkey that is not fully thawed.
In Case of a Fire, Do This... Flames in a Pan - Small fires in a stovetop pan can be smothered with a fitted lid. With your hand in an oven mitt, carefully slide the lid over the pan. Then turn off the burner. Don’t move the pan or lid until they’ve cooled completely. A specially designed fire blanket can also be used to cover the pan. Fire in the Oven - Quickly turn off the oven and keep the oven door closed to prevent fresh air from stoking the fire. Flames on Your Clothes -“Stop, drop, and roll.” When you drop, cover your face with your hands if you can, then roll over and over or back and forth to put out the fire. Cool any burns with cold water for 3 to 5 minutes and don’t hesitate to seek medical attention. Flames Elsewhere - First, call 9-1-1. You can try to use your fire extinguisher or fire blanket, but be sure others leave the Make Thanksgiving a time for giving thanks and enjoying family and friends by being fire safe each day.
Remember - Be Firewise, Be Safe!

Charlotte Mack
20 Years of Keeping TGO Moving After more than four decades of teaching exercise classes, Charlotte Mack still finds plenty of reasons to keep going. For more than 20 years, Charlotte Mack has been a familiar face at The Great Outdoors, helping residents stay active, healthy and moving through her regular exercise classes. But her experience as a fitness instructor goes back much further. Charlotte has been teaching exercise for approximately 45 years, beginning when she was just 23 years old. Charlotte is a Florida native, born in Orlando and raised in Mims where she lives today. Her long career in fitness instruction eventually led her to The Great Outdoors through a connection at the YMCA. Charlotte had trained another exercise instructor who later began teaching classes at TGO. When that instructor decided to move away, she contacted Charlotte and asked if she would be interested in taking over the classes. When she first arrived, Charlotte taught three days a week - Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Over the years, her schedule expanded, and today she conducts classes five days a week. For the past three months, she even added Saturdays to her schedule, although she recently decided to turn those classes over to another instructor. “Six days a week is too much for me at my age,” she says with a laugh. And TGO isn’t her only teaching commitment. Charlotte also conducts exercise classes four days a week at Mims Methodist Church. Between the two locations, she maintains a schedule that would keep plenty of younger instructors busy. While exercise has been a major part of her life, Charlotte has plenty of other interests waiting for her at home. She and her family have horses, birds and cats, along with four rescue dogs. The dogs, in particular, have become something of a running joke as she rescue’s them and end up keeping them. “I called the rescue organizations and told them not to call me to foster anymore because we always fail,” she explains. “I keep the dogs.” Despite her busy schedule and responsibilities at home, Charlotte continues to make the trip from Mims to TGO week after week. After 20 years, one might wonder what keeps her coming back. For Charlotte, the answer is simple. “I like the people. The people keep me motivated to keep coming and do this.” hat feeling appears to be mutual. Charlotte has developed a loyal following among residents who appreciate both her instruction and her dedication. What began as an opportunity to take over a few weekly exercise classes has grown into a lasting relationship with the community. And when asked how she feels about TGO after all these years, she offers perhaps the best explanation for why she continues to return. “I do like it out here. It’s my second home.”
Group shot from Charlotte’s class on Friday, November 6 - celebrating her 20 years at TGO.

Leo The Traveller
He stands about four inches tall and only weighs a few ounces, but he can boast of seeing more of the United States than most Americans. Who is he? To answer that question I must tell you a story. In the months leading up to my 2010 cross-country motorcycle trip, I saw a particular cell phone television commercial. As a businessman headed to the airport, he discovered that his daughter had snuck her favorite stuffed toy monkey inside it to keep him company. As he travelled the world, he took selfies of the stuffed monkey at various global landmarks such as London’s Big Ben. Back home, his wife received the photo updates on her smartphone and shared them with their daughter. It made her feel like she was part of her dad’s worldwide adventure. Seeing that commercial, I thought, “Someday I might have grandchildren, and it would be fun to show them all the places I went on my motorcycle trip”. So I went to the store, bought a small stuffed lion, and promptly named him “Leo” - of course! Leo was featured in all my selfies. He saw the Jesse James’ homestead, Cadillac Ranch, Hoover Dam, Santa Monica Pier, the Redwood Forest, and Mount Rushmore. He even got to ride the ferry in Driscoll Island. For over five thousand miles, I was never alone. I had a great travel partner who enjoyed every part of the adventure. Leo had a great trip – one that he will never forget. Now, if we only find a way for him to tell the story in his own words! Leo The Traveller is part of Dr. David Price’s Motorcycle Diaries. Stay tuned for more in his series of adventures - or better yet, catch him live at the TGO Community Church each Sunday.
Located just west of Amarillo, Texas, along historic Route 66, Cadillac Ranch is one of America’s quirkiest roadside attractions. Created in 1974 by the art collective Ant Farm, the installation features 10 vintage Cadillacs buried nose-first in the ground, celebrating America’s love affair with the automobile. Visitors are encouraged to add their own colorful spray-painted graffiti.

Experience Matters! Four Reasons TGO Realty Is Your Best Choice for Selling Your Home 1. When you list your home with TGO Realty, you’re not just listing it inside The Great Outdoors. As a member of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), TGO Realty puts your property in front of real estate professionals and potential buyers throughout Central Florida - and across the country. Your home will appear on major real estate websites and be discovered by buyers searching from virtually anywhere. More exposure means more opportunities to find the right buyer. 2. With more than 100 years of combined real estate experience, the TGO Realty team knows what it takes to list and sell property in The Great Outdoors. Our experienced Sales Associates understand this unique market - and many of them live right here in the resort. They know the community, the neighborhoods, the amenities and what attracts buyers to the TGO lifestyle. That firsthand knowledge gives both buyers and sellers an advantage you simply can’t get from an agent unfamiliar with our community. 3. A lower commission may sound like an easy way to save money when selling your home - but the lowest fee doesn’t always mean the best value. Successfully selling a home takes much more than placing a sign in the yard. It takes proper pricing, professional marketing, buyer exposure, showings, negotiations and careful management of the contract through closing. With TGO Realty, you’re getting experienced professionals who know the TGO market and are here to handle the details from listing to closing. 4. The Great Outdoors is a unique community, including the way our individual neighborhoods are organized as “Condominiums.” That terminology and property structure can sometimes create confusion when dealing with lenders, insurance providers, title companies and other parties involved in a sale. TGO Realty Understands How TGO Works. Our team has the experience and established relationships with knowledgeable, reliable professionals to help you navigate these issues, avoid unnecessary delays and keep your transaction moving smoothly from contract to closing.

Chrissy’s Catering Corner:
Did you know: This is the time of year that we splurge before we take on the New Year’s resolutions and the dreaded diet in January. But this!! This my friends, is the way to welcome in Autumn. The ultimate trick-or-treat for adults. I’m not coming to you today with lots of nutritional information or history - today’s recipe does involve pumpkin - a low calorie, nutrient rich food packed with fiber and protein. However, we’re adding in the YUM factor too. Who doesn’t like Bailey’s? Or a good Mudslide? Are you catching where I’m going with this…? This makes one cocktail - you’ll want to multiply by four to make a pitcher and share with friends… TODAY’S RECIPE: Pumpkin Spice Mudslide 2 tbsp pumpkin puree ½ cup milk (any kind) 3 tbsp Bailey’s Pumpkin Spice Liquor 3 tbsp Whipped Cream Vodka (Vanilla will work) ¼ tsp pumpkin spice Cool Whipped Topping (optional)
Directions: In a cocktail shaker (or a jar with a lid) add in the puree and the milk and shake until combined. Add in the Bailey’s and vodka and a shake of pumpkin spice - shake for 30 seconds. Pour into a glass (rocks or lowball is best), top with Cool Whip and another shake of pumpkin spice. Enjoy. Health sources: Very Well Fit, acultivatednest.com Recipe source: Chrissy Elwonger

Funny Thing Is… Christmas Is a Time of Good Jeer The Christmas holiday season is the best time of year, when it’s not being the worst time of the year. How is this possible? How can it be the best time of the year and the worst time of the year at the same time? The best part is the holiday spirit that so many people seem to get only at this time of year. It’s a time of incredible generosity, lavish parties for family, friends, and coworkers, love, and well wishes… unless of course you’re shopping. Enter the “Worst Time of the Year.” When you get in a jammed shopping center and get your cart slammed for the first of many times, that holiday spirit goes out the window and then its war. Everyone for themselves. Defend your property. You think I exaggerate? Ever shopped for a LEGO play set, a KPop Demon Hunter Singing Doll or a Star Wars Flying Drone Ship? Oh, you may be lucky enough to find the last one on any shelf in any store but that’s actually the easy part. Now you have to hold on to it. You put it in your cart, then while you shop you feel the icy stares of every other parent who didn’t get one. A mass murderer would be looked at with more compassion. They focus on you, follow you, waiting for any moment that you might look away, or step away from your cart. They pursue you like a pack of hungry wolves following a wounded deer. Here you are just trying to shop for your family and all of a sudden, oh no, you have to go to the restroom! Forget it. There’s a sign on the door that says, “No Merchandise Beyond This Point.” So what will you do? The checkout line is longer than lines at Disney, you can’t wait, and you wouldn’t trust the Pope to hold on to your prize. You could leave your purse or wallet in the cart and the only thing that would be missing when you returned is the coveted gift. My advice, ignore the sign. Take it in with you. What are they going to do, lock you up? Even if they do arrest you, the gift will go with you as evidence, so you got it out of the store safely, with an armed guard to boot. Congratulations. You’ve just made the best of the worst time of the year. Dr. Sammy -

The Space Coast Is Building Its Future
From Titusville to Cape Canaveral, exciting new developments are changing the landscape of Florida’s Space Coast. The Space Coast has always been known for rockets, astronauts and remarkable achievements in space exploration. But these days, some of the biggest stories aren’t happening in the sky. They’re happening right here on the ground! From enormous rocket factories to new business parks, launch facilities and shopping destinations, billions of dollars in development are helping shape the future of Brevard County. Here are six projects worth keeping an eye on. 1) SpaceX: A Giant New Campus at Kennedy Space Center SpaceX is thinking big — really big! The company is proposing a massive 400acre expansion of its operations near Roberts Road at Kennedy Space Center. The new campus would include facilities for building, testing, repairing and preparing its enormous Starship rockets for flight. Plans also call for a new four-lane access road near the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. When fully developed, potentially by 2045, the campus could employ approximately 3,300 people. The project is still undergoing environmental review, but it offers a glimpse of just how dramatically the Kennedy Space Center landscape could change in the coming years. 2) Titusville: A New Space Coast Innovation Park Some of the most exciting development is happening practically in our own backyard. Construction began in September on Space Coast Innovation Park at Titusville’s Space Coast Regional Airport. The development is designed to attract aerospace companies, defense contractors, manufacturers and other businesses that support the growing space industry. The first phase includes three buildings totaling more than 639,000 square feet, with completion scheduled for July 2027. Additional phases are already being planned. Located near Grissom Parkway, the park could bring new businesses, employment opportunities and economic activity to North Brevard. It’s another sign that Titusville is becoming more than just a great place to watch rocket launches. 3) Blue Origin: Building Rockets on a Grand Scale SpaceX isn’t the only company making a major investment on the Space Coast. Blue Origin, founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, is expanding its enormous Rocket Park manufacturing complex near Kennedy Space Center. A $330 million expansion now underway will help the company manufacture upper stages for its powerful New Glenn rocket. When completed in the summer of 2027, the facility is designed to produce as many as 150 upper stages annually. Blue Origin is also developing additional facilities at Cape Canaveral to prepare rockets and satellites for launch. With more than 5,000 employees across its Florida operations, the company is becoming an increasingly important part of the region’s aerospace economy.
54
4) Cape Canaveral: Making Room for Starship Imagine watching one of the largest rockets ever built lift off from Cape Canaveral! SpaceX is developing Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to accommodate its giant Starship and Super Heavy rocket system. Federal plans contemplate as many as 76 launches and 152 rocket landings annually at the complex, although those numbers represent proposed maximum activity rather than an approved flight schedule. Additional federal reviews and licensing are still required. The development involves new launch infrastructure and support facilities that could significantly change the appearance and activity of the Cape. For local residents who enjoy watching launches, the next generation of rockets promises to be quite a sight. 5) Relativity Space: Another Rocket Company Expands There’s another name to add to the growing list of Space Coast rocket builders: Relativity Space. The California-based company is developing facilities at Cape Canaveral to support its new Terran R rocket, a reusable launch vehicle designed to carry satellites and other payloads into space. Work is progressing at Launch Complex 16, where new equipment, rocket assembly facilities and launch infrastructure are taking shape. The company has also announced plans to expand manufacturing and testing operations in the region, with the potential to create thousands of jobs over the coming years. With more companies choosing Brevard County as their launching point, the Space Coast is becoming an increasingly busy neighborhood. 6) West Melbourne: A New Town Center Takes Shape Not all the exciting construction involves rockets! In West Melbourne, a 225acre development called Space Coast Town Center is taking shape near Interstate 95 and U.S. 192. Plans call for a combination of shopping, restaurants, apartments, hotels, offices and public gathering spaces. One of the newest additions, called The Landing at Space Coast, is planned to include a grocery store, restaurants, retail shops and approximately 300 apartments. When the entire development is completed, it could include more than 2,000 residential units and 300 hotel rooms. It’s a reminder that the growth of the aerospace industry is also creating demand for new places to live, work, shop.

A Minute with Meghan - Lions, Tigers, and A1Cs… Oh My! CBC, CMP, TSH, A1C… Lions, tigers, and bears… oh my! There are so many acronyms for different blood tests that your healthcare provider might order, but for November, I want you to focus on your A1C! November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, making it the perfect opportunity to talk with your healthcare provider about your diabetes risk and whether it’s time to check your A1C levels. This simple blood test can be performed through a quick finger prick or a traditional blood draw. Some tests provide results in just minutes, and best of all, no fasting is required! The A1C test measures the percentage of red blood cells that have sugar-coated hemoglobin, and because red blood cells live for about 3 months, the test shows your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. Results can range, based on the level of glucose (mg/dL) in your cells. Diabetes is more than a disease, it’s an epidemic, with over 40 million Americans living with diabetes on a daily basis, and 1.5 million diagnosed each year! There are two types of diabetes: • Type 1 Diabetes - an autoimmune disease, where the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells, leading to little or no insulin production. T1D accounts for approximately 5% of all diabetes cases. It can develop at any age, and usually develops suddenly, requiring lifelong insulin therapy (usually injections or pump), and carbohydrate-intake management. T1D cannot currently be cured or prevented. Type 1 Diabetes was commonly referred to as “juvenile diabetes,” but this is a huge misnomer! T1D can develop at any age, and more than half of all new-onset cases have been diagnosed in adults. • Type 2 Diabetes - a metabolic condition where the body still makes insulin, but the cells become resistant to it, and the pancreas eventually struggles to keep up with the demand. T2D accounts for about 90-95% of all cases, and is most common in adults over 45yo (but is increasingly being seen in adolescents and children). This condition develops gradually, over years, and is treated with lifestyle changes (such as diet and exercise), oral and injectable non-insulin medications, and sometimes insulin, as the disease progresses. T2D cannot be cured, but can often be prevented, or put into remission through lifestyle changes.
So, what are some of the risk factors for diabetes? • T1D: Since T1D is an autoimmune disease, the only known risk factors are family history and genetics. You may have a higher risk of developing T1D if a direct relative (parent or sibling) has T1D, or if you have genetic markers that predispose you to developing T1D. • T2D: Non-modifiable risk factors (cannot be changed) include age, family history, race, history of gestational diabetes, and other medical conditions (such as PCOS and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Modifiable risk factors (things that can be changed) include, weight, body shape (a waist size over 40” for males, and 35” for females), physical inactivity, blood pressure and cholesterol, smoking, and prediabetes. Here’s something to consider: More than 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes, and most don’t even know it! The good news is that early intervention through physical activity, healthy eating, and weight management can significantly reduce the risk of progressing to Type 2 diabetes. The good news? Knowledge is power, and knowing your numbers is one of the first steps toward protecting your health! While not all types of diabetes can be prevented, early
detection and healthy lifestyle choices can make a significant difference in managing your risk and preventing complications. This November, take a few minutes to talk with your healthcare provider about your A1C, stay physically active, and make small, sustainable changes toward better health. After all, when it comes to diabetes awareness, there’s no place like knowing your numbers!

CSA Trash Pick Up Rules
The CSA crew picks up household trash 364 days of the year (off for Christmas). You’ll see them in a big truck pulling one or more green hoppers behind it. The guy crouching on the hopper grabs your trash bag as they pass by. To make the process efficient, please follow these rules: • Trash must be placed in plastic bags that are tied closed. Lightweight bags should be tied together. Trash that is not in plastic bags may not be picked up. • Break down all boxes and put all packing material in a closed bag. • Place trash within one foot of the road so it’s within easy reach. • Dispose of your pet’s waste inside the closed trash bag. • Put trash out at the curb by 10:00am - Pick-up time varies within the park. • Do not mix household trash with organic yard debris or construction materials. • Do not put trash out at night because by morning it will have been scattered by wild animals. • Also, be aware that if you place your trash out on the street too early, the vultures think you have prepared them a sack lunch!
CSA Yard Debris Pick-Up Rules
The CSA crew picks up organic yard debris at least once per week. Tree trimmings should be cut down to a maximum of 4 feet long, weigh less than 50 pounds, and be stacked uniformly at the curb. Loose material such as pine needles, leaves and small twigs must be collected in untied plastic bags or open containers. The CSA will not pick up sod, dirt, tree stumps, construction material (e.g., concrete, wood, drywall, metal), chemicals (e.g., paint, oil), major appliances, or tires. DO NOT bring these items to the CSA Maintenance Yard yourself. They may be dropped off, without charge, at the Brevard County Mockingbird Mulching Facility - 321-264-5009. Most other waste items such as carpet, porcelain plumbing fixtures, etc., that are not mentioned above can be dropped off at the Brevard County Transfer Station 321-264-5048.
Clearing Vegetation on CSA Property
Our Declaration of Covenants states that “No CSA land may be cleared of any vegetation without prior written permission from the Board of Directors or its designee. Unauthorized clearing of CSA property will result in a hearing, with possible fines and ordered replanting.” This only makes sense, as you would not cut vegetation on someone else’s property without permission first. In order to track this better, we will require anyone seeking permission to cut vegetation on CSA property to fill out an ARC permit. An approved permit must include the CSA manager’s signature, and a copy of the permit will be filed in your ARC file for documentation purposes.

Know Your Condo Rules - Be a Good Neighbor!
Each condominium within The Great Outdoors has its own elected officers, including a President, Secretary and Treasurer, as well as rules designed to maintain the appearance, safety and enjoyment of the neighborhood. These guidelines may address landscape maintenance, weeds, trash and recycling, pet responsibilities, parking, outdoor lighting, flags and signs, exterior decorations, storage of personal items, vehicles and golf carts, and the general appearance of each property. While many rules are similar throughout TGO, requirements can vary from one condominium to another. Every resident is responsible for reading, understanding and following the rules established for their individual condominium. Being a good neighbor starts with knowing the rules and doing your part to keep your neighborhood attractive and enjoyable.

Guide to Living With Alligators in TGO
There are 32 lakes in The Great Outdoors and all of them are home to alligators. Please keep these points in mind to be safe when alligators could be nearby:
• It is illegal to feed, taunt or harass an alligator. • Do not swim or wade in any of our lakes. • Do not walk near the shorelines and do not walk your pets near the shoreline. • Do not allow your pets to swim, exercise or drink in or near our lakes. • While alligators can be active at any time, they are most active between dusk and dawn and move during the night to different water sources. • Please give our alligators the respect and space they deserve. NOTE: If you come across an aggressive alligator, please contact the CSA Office prior to SNAP and allow us to handle any situation.

Have Someone Call 9-1-1 While You Operate AED The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that diagnoses incorrect heart rhythm patterns that could potentially be life threatening. The device treats the condition with electrical shocks. AED use requires minimal training because an electronic voice prompts the user through each step. If you are helping a person who collapsed and you’re unsure if a heart attack is the reason, don’t hesitate to use the AED. Every minute counts. The device determines if the patient needs an electrical shock or not. Simply place the AED pads on the patient’s bare skin, one on the right upper chest and the other on their lower left side. No one else should be touching the patient because false readings could result. The AED will advise you, the device operator, what to do next. TGO Has Eight AEDs Located at CSA buildings. 1. Blue Heron - Outside Ramp 2. CSA Office - Outside 3. Fitness Center 4. Hidden Lakes Clubhouse 5. Library Kitchen 6. Oak Cove Pool Bathhouse 7. Plantation Manor 8. Windsong Bathhouse
