APHOA minutes
The approved APHOA minutes are available upon request in the Park Manager’s office. The financials for the park are there as well. When you see the APHOA Minutes in the Newsletter or on the Alimur FB community they are UNOFFICIAL and subject to revision. They are posted as a courtesy in order to keep everyone informed. The minutes from the previous month are always approved at the next meeting.
We welcome all residents to our monthly meetings. Beginning on May 1st, 2025 they will take place at the clubhouse on the first Tuesday of every month, at 5 PM.
Red Flag Notification Service Sign Up
The Red Flag notification service will advise of a planned outage in the park. It can send messages to your phone, send you an email or send a call to a land line. It will do any one of these or all three. Please sign up for this important service. There is information later in this newsletter with instructions, or you can stop by the office. Our park manager will help you sign up. It’s easy! NOTE! The Red Flag service CANNOT send notice of an unplanned outage. But it will send out a notice as soon as the situation has been assessed.
Volunteers Always Needed!
If you have the time to help, or an idea about what might be done, contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Rickie Crane. That’s me! All projects must be discussed with me before any work is done. It is not allowed for folks to do work on common areas without permission! The volunteer jobs are unpaid, like being on the Board. The park will pay for any necessary supplies required, after approval. Rebecca Cope is volunteering to translate the minutes to Spanish for us. Current distributors of the monthly Newsletter:

Reminders to all the residents:
Don’t let your pet out without you and a leash.
Don’t let your pet use your neighbor’s yard as a bathroom. Please slow down. There are children and pets in the park.

We will continue towait and see.
Adam then addressed the boardregarding our loan with Paul Goldstone. There aretwo versions of the promissory note. The park’s note states that the balance of the loan would go to a 30 year amortization and the interest rate would increase 1%. Paul Goldstonehad emailed Evans management stating that beginning January 2026the terms of the loan wouldreflect the 1% interest increaseand the balance of the loan would be amortized over 20 years. This would increase our monthly payments by approximately $10,000. There was discussion regarding thelockout period for prepayment and the other specific terms of the loan.

QUOTES
Christmas Quotes
Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given, when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes.
Joan Windmill Brown, American author and editor
My idea of Christmas, whether oldfashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?
Bob Hope, American film actor and comedian
Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.
Washington Irving, American short-story writer and essayist.
Were I a philosopher, I should write a philosophy of toys, showing that nothing else in life need to be taken seriously, and that Christmas Day in the company of children is one of the few occasions on which men become entirely alive.
Robert Lynd, American sociologist.
This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone.
Taylor Caldwell, English novelist

The Lighter Side Germs
Four-year-old Johnny was eating a hot dog when he dropped it on the floor. He quickly picked it up and was about to take another bite when his mom said, "No, Johnny, you can't eat that now it has germs."
Johnny pondered the thought a moment and replied, "Jesus, germs, and Santa Claus - that's all I ever hear about and I haven't seen one of 'em yet!"
Postcard
A man writing at the post office desk was approached by an older fellow with a post card in his hand. The old man said, "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you but could you address this post card for me? My arthritis is acting up and I can't even hold a pen."
"Certainly, sir," said the younger man. He wrote out the address and also agreed to write a short message and sign the card for the man. Finally, the younger man asked, "Now, is there anything else I can do for you?"
The old fellow glanced at the card a moment and said, "Yes, at the end could you just add, 'PS: Please excuse the sloppy hand-writing.'"
Butcher Shop
A lady goes into the butcher shop and as she is walking around the store, she spies a beef tongue in the butcher's counter. The lady asks, "What in the world is that?"
"Beef tongue," replies the butcher.
The lady gives a little involuntary shudder, "No way would I put anything in my mouth that came out of an animal's mouth!"
The butcher nods sympathetically while peeking into the woman's shopping cart, "I see you're buying a dozen eggs!"
Grandpa said ...
*I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
*The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
*The bonds of matrimony are a good investment if the interest is kept up.
*Trouble starts when a man is so busy earnin' his salt he forgets his sugar.
