Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, including those still with us and those keeping an eye on us from heaven. We love you.
Most residents have returned to their summer home. We wish them a very safe and healthy summer. Just a reminder to turn in a Summer Maintenance Form and notify the office when you leave. We will update the computer so notices are sent to the proper address.
The fun at Tropical Harbor continues with our Let’s TACO ‘BOUT a Pool Party on Friday, May 30. Join us for music, drinks and a TACO BAR! Be sure to get your tickets at the office by May 22 for planning purposes. ��
This month take the time to remember and honor all that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our FREEDOM.

Water Restrictions for Highlands County
Days: Watering is limited to two days per week, for our area. Watering on Wednesdays and Saturdays for oddnumbered addresses and Thursdays and Sundays for even-numbered addresses. No watering of established lawns should be done on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays.
Time: Watering is prohibited between 10 AM and 4 PM
Also, there is no need to run your irrigation system when we are receiving heavy rains. Fines may be issued for residents watering out of compliance.
Water Conservation Tips
Southwest Florida Water Management District provides many educational videos, brochures, and articles on water conservation in Florida. We will feature some of these items in the newsletter. Check out the information/link below.
Community Reminder
Weeding: Residents are responsible for keeping their flowerbeds, bushes, etc. weeded all year long. Make sure that landscaping in your lot is manageable for you.
Speed limit: The speed limit in the park is 15 miles per hour! We have many walkers, dog walkers, and bicyclists in the park so please slow down and help everyone stay safe! If you are walking during dark hours, please wear light-colored, reflective clothing and carry a flashlight.
Parking: There’s no street parking in Tropical Harbor unless such parking is for short-term purposes of one (1) hour or less. We must keep our streets open for our homeowners to get assistance from emergency vehicles at all times. Please ensure contractors working at your home leave room for vehicles to pass. Laundry and clubhouse parking areas are for residents using those facilities, not for overflow guest parking. Others are subject to being towed unless a parking pass has been obtained from the manager. There is no parking in the white striped areas at the clubhouse and do not block resident driveways.
Guests: Guests must be registered in the office, and pool passes are required for your guests. Be sure to return pool passes when your guests leave. We have switched to a numbered pass system to track them better.
Sales: All prospective buyers and renters need to complete the background application before any final sale or rental and receive approval from our Corporate Office. The office must be notified of any sale or rental before they are final regardless of whether they are past or current residents or renters. Community paperwork must be completed. All sales will have a 4-sided inspection completed through our Corporate Office to ensure buyers agree to any rule compliance issues.
Pet owners: Please bring in your pet’s current shot records as we are updating this information. Pets need to be leashed, attended to and cleaned up after. If you would like your pet featured in the newsletter as Pet of the Month, please send a current photo to the office with a bit of info about your pet. We are receiving complaints about pets owners not following Highlands County laws and community rules. Click here for more information.
Pool: The pool is for the private use of residents and registered guests only. The pool closes at dusk and the gates are locked. Be sure music is turned off when leaving pool area.

Click photo for link
1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 pineapple, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 medium onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 medium bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
Instructions
Add all of the ingredients for the sauce to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Reserve around half of the sauce for basting. Then place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining half of the sauce over top. Seal the bag and toss to coat, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the chicken, peppers, onion, and pineapple chunks onto your skewers.
Place the kebabs on the grill. Turn and baste the chicken with the reserved huli huli sauce every 2-3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, around 8-10 minutes.
