Note about reading General Orders
Some people say they are having trouble reading the two column General Order format on their

Helpful Hint: No matter where you are reading
them (internet or Adobe Reader), there is always an
option to read them in “full screen view” which will
help avoid having to scroll up and down to read from
one column to the next.
Small to medium pets are OK. Rear screened patio.
Walking distance to Pennekamp and close to shopping center. No smoking, no drugs. Law Enforcement officer preferred. First, last and security. Must
be clean and maintain property. References may be
requested. $2000 per month includes water. Call or
