Notice of Water Meter Replacements
We have been informed by Gainesville Water Resources that they will be replacing select water meters throughout the community over the next several months.
If your meter is scheduled for replacement, a technician should knock on your door to notify you before beginning work. The replacement process is generally quick and is intended to improve the efficiency and accuracy of water usage monitoring.
The new water meters feature advanced reporting technology designed to help better manage water consumption. In addition, the upgraded meters include enhanced leak-detection capabilities that can help identify potential issues sooner, reducing the risk of excessive water usage and costly repairs.
THE PRODUCE PATCH FARMER'S MARKET
Fresh, local, and full of flavor—our Farmer’s Market is back every Friday (weather permitting)! Come stroll through, support local vendors, and pick up delicious produce and goodies straight from the source.
* Fridays
* 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
* Clubhouse Parking Lot
Grab a friend, bring a tote, and enjoy the best of the season—we’ll see you there!

LECTURE FORUM PROGRAM ON THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
The Templar Order is one of the most famous – and misunderstood – institutions of the Middle Ages. Founded after the First Crusade to protect pilgrims, it quickly expanded into a powerful religious military organization, international landholder, and trusted financial intermediary, positioned at the crossroads of crusading, monarchy, papal authority, and Mediterranean politics.
Our Smithsonian lecturer will be Dr. Jochen Schenk, a prominent historian, author, and lecturer at the University of Glasgow.
Here are the details for this upcoming streamed program:
- Date/Time Sunday, October 18th, 3 pm
- Place Clubhouse/Ballroom A
- Cost $5.00 per person, cash at door
- Registration CLICK HERE
As usual, all monies collected will be donated to Smithsonian Associates, our provider for this lecture, to support their continuing programming efforts. Seating for this lecture is limited.
October Landscape Updates
Mowing Schedule:
Crews are scheduled to perform two full mowing, edging, and blowing services during October:
- Week of October 5
- Week of October 19
Front Yard Pruning
Front yard pruning crews have completed work in Phases 3 and 2 and are currently working in Phase 1. Pruning will continue until all homes have been completed.
Rear Berm Service
Rear berm pruning has been completed in all phases. Landscape crews will be applying Roundup treatment next week to help control unwanted vegetation and maintain the berm areas.
Upcoming Clubhouse Landscape Enhancements
This fall, work is expected to begin on a major landscape enhancement project around the clubhouse campus. Improvements will include refreshed landscape beds, new plantings, and enhancements to key areas surrounding the clubhouse, management office, administration office, parking lot entrances, and parkway. These improvements are designed to enhance the appearance of one of our community's most visible and heavily used amenity areas while also addressing certain drainage and maintenance concerns.
RECESS DAY
YOUR CHANCE TO ACT LIKE A KID AGAIN!
Join us for recess on October 19th starting at 3 p.m. We will meet at the softball field, where names will be placed into a bucket. Eight captains will draw names to determine the teams. Your team will travel to 9 different stations playing cooperative, fun, and silly games. No athletic ability is needed—just your ability to have fun!
If you want to join the fun without playing the games, come down to be a spectator or volunteer to run a station.
Following our two hours of activities, we will have a cookout at the pavilion. Last year, Kristi, Keith, and Jennifer were three of the eight captains, and they are already gearing up for this year's competition.
If you have questions, please contact one of the following members of the recess team.
Jane Gregg, Linda Doss, Barbara LaBue, Kristi Crawford, Mary Colosimo and Bev Pomplun.
No entry fee, however we need to know how many participants to expect. Please sign up
