NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS
A message from Allison
Hello Fellow Residents, Happy August! I hope everyone is enjoying they’re summer! Our Independence Day party was a huge success! We had a great turnout, and a lot of fun was had! I want to start out by truly thanking our volunteer residents who always help out with these events! They’ve done such an amazing job and without them we wouldn’t be able to host these fabulous parties for our community! With that said, we are really in need of more volunteers to help out with future events! Please don’t be shy!
Thank you to our residents who have brought in copies of your updated insurance policies! It’s important that we keep these on file and current. Please make sure you have $300,000 liability and that Oceanside Landing is listed as an additional interest. Anytime you receive a renewal in the mail, please bring us in a copy or email it to us at: ocladmin@cobblestoneassets.com.
We all need to keep our yards & homes looking neat! Meaning bushes trimmed, yards mowed, spraying driveways & flowerbeds with weed killer, power washing our homes etc. It benefits everyone in the community when we all do our part! Some Inspection letters have already gone out to some residents. We will continue to monitor all homes. A big shout out to those who always keep they’re yards and homes nice & tidy!
We have some great events coming up this month so make sure you take advantage and sign up for them at the office! We have Paint Night, The Pelicans Game, Jukebox Bingo, Tupperware Party and Hot Dogs every Wednesday by the pool grill! REMINDER: Absolutely No guests are allowed in the pool without the resident present!!!
Sincerely, Kat
