1 - January 2015 Harrison Ranch Volume IV, Issue I Volume IV, Issue I We are the luckiest folks in America. It is January and looks like July! The pool was resurfaced back in November and re-opened in December. The water is set at a comfortable 85 degrees and all lounge chairs are back! We hope you enjoy the newly renovated pool. A fun fact about that pool- it holds 159,605 gallons of water! You will see feature pictures of areas around the community on our front page of the newsletter with brief descriptions. We hope you enjoy the new layout of the newsletter! Don t forget to check out our event calendar on pages 5 and 6. Please note if an event has a fee, a dollar sign $ will be next to the event name on the calendar. If an event requires an RSVP, that will also be indicated next to the event name on the calendar.

All other months will have 1:30pm meetings, and the meetings are always on the 2 nd Monday of each month. I ve seen some pictures and other notifications of alligators in the ponds. If any residents are concerned for their safety, they can call the Gator Hotline at and file a report. They will give the caller a reference number, and the caller will need to notify me directly, so I can use that reference number to authorize the removal of the gator. A trapper will be sent out on site and they will determine if the gator needs to be removed, typically based on size.
