The Gator Tales
The Unofficial Newsletter of Lake Hammock Village David Schnopp Editor PRESIDENT’S CORNER We are at the end of another winter and some of the residents will be returning back north for the summer. It is our hope that they have a safe trip back to their homes and that we will see them next winter. Maybe this summer, the full time folks will enjoy a cooler summer. It is possible that there may be changes in the near future. One note. Someone gave out the code to our clubhouse to a lawn care person. Please, for our own safety, do not give this information out to non residents.
