All fences require written approval from the ACC and there are some restrictions regarding material, height and placement which need to be considered. Be certain to obtain approval before beginning a fencing project. When an application receives approval from the ACC, the property owner is given a colorful 8.5” X 11” placard with a capital letter “B” which should be prominently displayed in a front window of the dwelling. This is intended to show that approval has been received for the project and helps Code Enforcement in the execution of their duties. Assistance with ACC applications is always available from the Code Enforcement or by contacting me directly Indicateharrycalderbank@tampabay.rr.com.atACCQuestionsinthesubjectline.

BE SAFE
From Code Enforcement And Security!
Thankfully the Hernando County Sheriff has a program to address this issue. It is called Careline. Careline is a program for all peopleFREE regardless of age. When a person wakes up in the morning, they call a special number and let the HCSO that everything is fine.
If the daily phone call is not made, a deputy will be dispatched to your home to perform a welfare check. Having the peace of mind to know someone WILL come to your home if you are unable to call for help is a very comforting thought. I encourage all Brookridge residents who live alone or know someone who does to go to www.hernandosheriff.orgorcall352-754-6830 and ask for the Careline for further info. This office is open from 6:00 am to 10:00 am daily. Fences may be decorative and may be used to mark boundaries, control pets or provide a degree of privacy. Many types of fencing may be found in Brookridge to include chain link, picket and/or ranch style.

The committee requests that Brookridge residents do not plant anything in the median on their own without first consulting with the Beautification Committee. We must coordinate planting with the guys who mow, and therefore we can't guarantee the plants won't be mowed over We would like to thank the Ladies of Brookridge for their very generous $500 donation. Thank you to the committee members who have spent at least $180 of their own money in July for mulch and other supplies; and thank you to the guard house staff for their help with the fountain and the rose bushes. The committee discussed the fact that there are a lot of Veterans in our community. For a lot of the holidays, we display small American flags – the kind that can be stuck in the ground. If you're in Wal-Mart, Lowe's, or other store that has American-made American flags, we would appreciate your donation of one or two. They are inexpensive and would help us out a lot. You can contact Jim Snyder or any other member for those donations. Thank you. We always welcome new volunteers, especially those who have a love for gardening, knowledge of Florida plants and landscaping, or those who would just like something more to do. If you have any questions or suggestions, please call Jim Snyder, Chairman, at 352-596-1804. Meetings are held the first Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m., at the DonationsClubhousecanbe made by check payable to BCPO with “Beautification Committee” noted in the memo section of the check and deliver it to the Administration Office or give it to any of the members of the committee. staying cool.

Our league plays "Fun Golf" year-round. Golfers of all levels are invited. New members are always welcome.

Because it's just been toooo hot to play, evening shuffleboard has taken a break from the August heat! We'll resume playing at 7:00 pm on September 18th. We are on the courts Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings the temperature isIF below 87° .
"Kings & Queens" play on Mondays at 2:00 pm, please be at the club by 1:30 pm. Kings & Queens are a group of couples that play 9 holes of golf Monday afternoons - alternate shot format for the twosome. If you don't have a male/female partner, you may play as two ladies or two gents. If you haven't played yet, it might be a great way to meet your fellow golfers. This is a fun group. I'm sure you will enjoy it, but don't be too serious, as it is meant to be fun while enjoying our golf course. Newcomers are always welcome.
Looking forward to seeing you Monday afternoons!

Our priority is having fun - most of our members are playing from the red or silver tees this year. Come out & enjoy the course with us. Due to Covid-19 we will not exchange money or score cards this year. We'll continue playing "Fun Golf".

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.”

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Who can believe that we are into September already? This year is whizzing by. Some of our snowbirds will be starting back. Friday Night Bingo is doing well. Of course, we are always in need of Volunteers. We especially are looking for Callers. If anyone wishes to learn how to be a caller, please come up to the Clubhouse on a Friday night and speak to Ellie Colasanti. Can always use Floor Workers too. We will be having our next meeting on September 12th at 11:00 am in room D. We will be forming a nominating committee to bring us a slate of officers. We will need someone to run for President as President Colosanti is stepping down. Anyone wishing to hold any position on the board is welcome to run. It is time for some new blood, so I hope some of you will consider this.

Line Dance Lessons are open to residents of Brookridge and non-residents. All are welcome. Come join us.


Our class has been meeting all summer with great support for all. Each Monday morning, we show up for “Weigh-In” and lots of encouragement for each other. If you ever had a weight problem, you welcome all the support we can give. Sooooo-maybe you better come join us on Monday mornings at 9:00 am in Room D. Exercising just 3 days a week can help you boost your muscle power and strength and boost your confidence no matter what your age or current fitness level. Our class is for Brookridge residents and their houseguests (Sorry, no children). The cost is fifty cents per class and the first class is free! Class starts at 8:30 am and runs to 9:30 am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Classes start with low impact aerobics followed by stretch and tone; weights; and either mats or chairs. The class ends with a balance circle. Weights and mats are available if you don't have your own. Come have fun with us!

Once a month we go to lunch at a local restaurant. Bowling will start back up in the fall. There are occasional off-site excursions. We offer a wide variety of activities including potluck dinners (man! do we have some great cooks?!), Trivia night, Game nights, Wine & cheese & Pizza parties, Ice cream socials, Jingles, Cornhole, Shuffleboard and Bocce Ball. Whatever we can think to do, that might be fun, we'll try. There are flyers on each of the bulletin boards announcing the current month's functions. If you are single and a current Brookridge resident, I encourage you to give us a try. It's a lot more fun than sitting home by yourself! The first Monday in September every year We celebrate the fruits of our labor Honoring the specific working man To this dedication we do implore Such physical and mental work All strived to do their best Now, a perfect time to celebrate As summer comes to rest Remember as you do reflect Sometimes wages came with pain Being hard to come by, With nothing left to gain Though years have taught us lessons Leading to a just reward We deeply know the price they paid To reach this grand award
Brookridge Singles would like to welcome all the new homeowners to our wonderful community and invite all single residents to one of our meetings. You'll meet other singles in your neighborhood. Have a nice evening and make new friends.
Our Singles group meets the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, usually in the Clubhouse-South Hall.
