MANAGERS’ CORNER
SPEED LIMIT/STOP SIGN: Now that we are into spring and summer, let’s not forget that we have many residents in our Community that like to take walks, roller skate and ride their bikes Also, it is very important for everyone’s safety that the 10 MPH speed limit be obeyed. Please be sure that all family members and guests obey this rule and don’t forget about the stop sign in front of the office.
SAFETY - AFTER DARK: Although our Community is gated, all residents should still watch out for vehicles when walking, jogging, riding, etc. NO ROLLER-SKATING, ROLLERBLADING, OR RIDING SKATEBOARDS, SCOOTERS OR BICYCLES AFTER DARK because drivers cannot see them. Also please do not trespass on others’ yards.
SAFETY - PROPERTY – Please pick up your skates, scooters, etc. and lock your bicycles and vehicles when not in use. Please respect other’s property and make sure family and guests are familiar with Fernwood Policies and do not trespass on other homesites.
Please let’s keep an eye out for each other and report any suspicious activity immediately (see emergency numbers on page 4). Let’s work together as a community to discourage any type of activity that causes damage or disturbs other residents. Also, please make sure that residents/guests do not jump block walls. Gate keys to the front walk-in gate are available to residents for $10.00 at the Community Office (restrictions apply).
FERNWOOD EMERGENCY NUMBERS. . . See page 4 of the monthly magazine for Emergency Telephone Numbers. These numbers are also posted in the Directory at the entrance to the Community Office.

SAFETY - NO BALL PLAYING: Please, NO BALL PLAYING in our Community. It is not only extremely unsafe when chasing balls into the street, but it also causes property damage.

LET’S BE COURTEOUS/RESPECTFUL: Please be courteous to your neighbors, regardless of the time of day or night, and keep MUSIC/NOISE LEVELS low so as not to disturb them. Pet owners: Please pick up after your pets and follow the Community Policies regarding pets.

Also, don’t forget that some repairs/improvements require HCD permits.

QUOTES
Less ego, more wealth. Saving money is the gap between your ego and your income, and wealth is what you don't see. So wealth is created by suppressing what you could buy today in order to have more stuff or more options in the future.
Morgan Housel
More people can be greater leaders than they think they can, but they need a purpose greater than themselves.
William J. Clinton, 42nd president of the United States.
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Frequently attributed to Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United State
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, "Press on," has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States, from a sign on his desk.
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
Andrew Jackson, 7th president of the United States
Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending.
Aubrey Drake Graham (Drake), Recording artist, songwriter
