Upcoming mow dates are: April 3, 10, 17 and 24, and in the following month: May 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. Handling Grievances Should you have any problems with the mowing service, please advise Barbara Pesic via phone or email. It is requested that residents not give verbal instructions to the mowing crew. All complaints are to be addressed by the management of the mowing service. Thank you very much for your compliance. Important Things to Remember – Gene Arend If you are making changes to the exterior of your property, you are required to complete an Architectural Control Form first to obtain approval -- even if those changes are minor, or include changing out Windows or painting your property with a color that exists in the community. And, even though those type of changes have prior board acceptance, it’s still necessary to complete the form. I understand there is an element of bureaucracy, but in order for us to maintain consistency with our documents in the event of a legal issue, we need to record and file the document. If you are selling your property or leasing the property, there is a Sales/Lease Application form required by the association documents. Again, this may seem bureaucratic too, but in order BRIAR CREEK BUGLE APRIL, 2015 N 5 to maintain an accurate roster and meet the Federal Housing Act that grants us the 55+ community, the form is necessary. We have Linda Miller and Pat Arend available to greet all new residents prior to closing or leasing. Linda & Pat represent the Board of Directors and will sign the Title Transfer Authorization form required by the Title Company prior to closing. Failure to complete the process could delay the closing. Both forms are available online on the www.mybriarcreek.com or in the bins outside the director’s office. Your cooperation will help us maintain the community you all expected when you purchased your home. If you are leasing seasonally with repeat residents and/or prior residents, inform Linda or Pat who can retrieve the original application. This will then expedite the process and update our records.

This will allow our residents not available on early Wednesday to come and be a part of the Board Meeting. Remember if you are a resident but not currently an owner, the meetings are open and your opinion is encouraged. The board meeting is, of course, a Corporate Business meeting among the seven (7) directors; however, we encourage all to come and watch. It allows all of the directors an opportunity to meet collectively under the Florida Sunshine Laws. We do on some occasion ask attendees for input. There is always an open session for all at the conclusion of the formal business portion. After this meeting, as summer months approach, the demands change and we may move to an every-other-month schedule. Signs will be posted and the new message center will keep you informed.

O n February 18, Solid Waste Program Coordinator Jan Tracey addressed residents at the weekly Wednesday meeting about recycling, especially as it applies to recent changes in the program. As you may be aware, once-a-week trash pickup on Mondays is now the norm for Briar Creek. Yard trash is picked up on Wednesdays and Recyclable products are picked up on Thursdays. Recent changes include a more detailed description of what can deposited in Briar Creek's recycle bins. The good news is that every recyclable item can be put in the same container; this is because Pinellas County has an automated separation process, something that will save our residents time and effort. As you can see on the chart below, any plastic item that has code numbers within the triangle (from 1 to 7) can be included in recycle tubs. For more detailed information, see www.pinellascounty.org/recycle or, if you prefer to email, the address is recycle@pinellascounty.org.

I have lived in Briar Creek for three months moving most recently from Largo. I grew up in Minnesota and have lived in eight different states. I am single, no children and I have three brothers and three sisters who live in different states. Professionally I was an administrator for colleges. A few of my favorite things are dancing, reading, running, biking, swimming, hiking, laughing, doing house projects, traveling and sewing. Thank you for your confidence in me to be your VP of the Social Club and Entertainment Chairperson this year. I am excited to partner with David and bring you a fun- filled year of activities. As David has said more than once, we want your suggestions. Tell us, write in the suggestion box, and send us emails. Several of you have already offered your assistance and I am grateful for that. Be assured, I will be taking you up on that offer and asking others to help as well. The activities here will be successful with more neighbors’ contributions. As some of you are aware, Dave is also not here full time in the summer and we invite anyone who wants to co-lead the Wednesday morning meeting to please, please let us know. Remember, let your light shine and share your talent with us. I have been making calls to confirm monthly talent. I will get you as much information as I can about the performers to make sure you want to come and have fun with the rest of us. You will see some changes intended to make selling tickets and simplifying preparations for each event easier. Remember, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Our plan is the same enjoyment that has been here year after year. 2/25/15 Social Club Meeting A t Wednesday's meeting, Pinellas County Deputy Charles Skipper addressed our attendee residents on the various scams, phishing, and unsavory soliciting techniques floating around that traditionally target older citizens -- and how devious (and believable) many of these methods are. The methods all have one goal: to get your money! Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. In other words, if you receive an email telling you that you've won some sort of lottery, don't believe it! Just delete the email. If someone knocks on your door, telling you they have a deal for you, don't fall for it. They may be "just in the neighborhood today," or "they just sold your neighbor something," or "they have something you can't live without," don't believe them. You have every right to privacy and BRIAR CREEK BUGLE APRIL, 2015 N ...continued on page 14 13 safety in your own home. Remember, you don't owe an uninvited stranger any undue courtesy. You can tell them to go away. If you have any concerns about your personal safety, don't hesitate to call a friend or neighbor to come over. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, then call the non-emergency number for the Sheriff's Department (727) 582-6200. As Deputy Skipper mentioned during his presentation, don't EVER hesitate calling that number. Your safety is one of their biggest concerns. In other words, they care about you! An Update from Deputy Skipper H ello, Neighborhood Watch chairpersons, just a notice that there has been at least four burglaries inside the gated communities of East Lake Woodlands since January. These burglaries have taken place during the day time. (Statistically, about 65% of home burglaries occur during the day.) Two of the victims were home with their garage doors open, when items were removed from the garage. The other two, one of which occurred yesterday, were to unoccupied homes during the day. During one, the burglary happened while the couple were gone for less than 3 hours. The home had a security system, but it was not activated. Both homes had large rear privacy fences and burglars targeted the rear sliders as a point of entry. Please report suspicious persons or vehicles in your neighborhood. Strangers on bicycles with back packs or suspicious vehicles deserve a second look and your attention. The nonemergency number for suspicious persons is 582-6200. Stay safe.

O E Wilson Insurance Inc. 30 727-535-0524 9 BRIAR CREEK BUGLE APRIL, 2015 N Bereavement Flag Policy – Gene Arend I n order to give some organization and uniformity with regards to our community members who have passed away, the Association President, Social Club President, and Bereavement/ Sunshine Committee Chair met to formalize a policy. With the installation of the new message center, when Mary Houpt receives notice someone from Briar Creek 1 has passed away, she will list the names of the individuals on the message center board. She will arrange to have the flag lowered to half-mast for three (3) consecutive days. This length of time is considered a reasonable amount of time for the residents of Briar Creek to take notice and recognize who passed away. The dates and other information can be found on the website and/or in the clubhouse. Once the flag is returned to its normal position, the names will be removed from the message center. We also decided that any resident of Briar Creek, either past or present, will receive the same acknowledgement. It was deliberated and agreed that all residents of Briar Creek, past or present, have made contributions to our community and as such merit, a gesture of reflection for those who may have known them. Thank you I want to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for all the cards, calls and other expressions of sympathy that I received on the occasion of Tom’s passing. He was a dear and good man, and I miss him. Sincerely, Joan O’Dell Library News Naomi Fiacable/Linda Hayes/Carol Marsella (summer) F or those of you who use the library, you may have noticed a different informal look. Most of the books are sideways on the shelves so the titles, and, in most cases, the authors, are more easily read. The reason we have chosen to do this rather than the library norm is for those who have trouble reading sideways and to provide more space on the present shelving for additional books. We have moved the hardback NONFICTION books to the bookcase in front of the windows and the shelves have been clearly marked, but we kept the softback NONFICTION in the last bookcase by the door going to the office. We separated the FANTASY genre from the FICTION and gave them a separate location on the back of the center bookcase. These include both hard and soft-back books. These are the Twilight and Harry Potter series as well as others which were mingled among the FICTION. We BRIAR CREEK BUGLE APRIL, 2015 N 21 also separated the HISTORICAL ROMANCE from the ROMANCE for those who prefer a bit of history in their romantic reading. They are located on the right front of the center bookcase. Our volunteers who work in the library, work hard to maintain the library donations that arrive daily. As always, we enter them into the New Books section to the left of the windows where they remain for 30 days. All of the book shelves are clearly marked as they were before. We hope we have made it easier to read the titles of the books you like and will continue enjoying our Briar Creek Phase I Community Library as you have in the past. We also provide DVD's (movies) and AUDIOBOOKS (both cassette and CD) in the cabinets/bookcase by the Bingo Board in the main area. We have movies for children also. The locations are clearly marked. We are currently accepting DVD and Audiobook donations. When returning or donating new books, DVD's, or Audiobooks, please place them in the basket or, if the basket is full, on the floor beside the basket for the library workers to stamp and put in the proper locations. Beginners Mah-Jongg Lessons Sharon Philyaw S tarting on March 8, Pat Arend and Jane Fedelem, two very accomplished Mahjongg players, will be offering free lessons of this ancient Chinese game to all who would like to learn. Men and women are welcome to participate. No partners, just friendly competition and a mind-challenging hour. The lessons will be at 11:30 AM on Sundays and, after you feel competent enough to play with others who have already learned the game, you’re welcome to join those who play at 12:30 PM on Sundays or make up your own table of three or four players. Sign-up sheet is on the hallway wall in the Clubhouse so that Pat and Jane can get an idea how many new players would like to participate. Table Tennis, Anyone? A ny one interested in playing table tennis, please contact: David Hunkins at 727-669-0503. If there is enough interest, we will put in a request to the social club to acquire a table for our use. We may be able to get one at no cost to the club. 22 BRIAR CREEK BUGLE APRIL, 2015 N Services Directory AIR CONDITIONING SALES/SERVICE Barron's Air Conditioning................... 727-784-1603 E & E Gliddon, Inc.............................. 727-546-4343 Modern A/C Service Co..................... 727-541-5541 APPLIANCE REPAIR Action Appliance Service................... 727-736-1106 Appliance Specialty, Inc..................... 727-520-6002 Bob's Appliance Repair...................... 727-637-4789 APPLIANCE SALES Tony’s Appliance Sales...................... 727-474-5843 AUTO SALES / PURCHASING Tampa Bay Car Cash......................... 727-580-9580 AVON PRODUCTS Avon Products.................................... 727-724-6450 AWNINGS Century Awnings Co.......................... 727-559-8811 BARBERSHOP Andrew Ciresi Master Barber Shop... 727-726-0094 CARPET CLEANING Bill the Carpet Guy............................. 727-521-4163 Doll Bros.

APPRECIATION NIGHT Ann Daley A ppreciation night was a huge success, and I was so happy my family, and friends could be there to enjoy it with us. The programs were done, so professionally, by editor Jean Richter and her reporters. Before the show there was a happy hour with great food provided by Chef Mary Kay McBride and her staff of helpers. Joan Bienvenue choreographed, directed and emceed the play like a true blue Broadway director with some help from a few "back stage hands." When the curtain went up and the show began, all 27 acts were so wonderful, better than any Broadway play. All the performers were our own Briar Creek friends from Phase 1 and 2. Jerry Richter, our paparazzo, did a great job taking pictures. I would like to thank everyone who helped make this a night I will never forget. Good luck to Dave Doran, all his Officers and Committee Leaders for this coming year. MESSAGE FROM SOCIAL CLUB PRESIDENT Dave Doran A s our term begins, we want to thank Ann Daley and all who worked with her during the past year; great job. As President, I asked Linda Edington, who stepped up to do entertainment this year, to also be my Vice President. Between the two of us, we intend to do the best job we can, bring some fun into the club and will work very hard to empower our community residents to volunteer for a number of different projects and program, because without volunteers, these may no longer exist. We have put up a "VOLUNTEER" sheet on the bulletin as a start. Add your name and phone number, so if someone is looking for volunteers, they can call you. Or better yet, just ask someone if you can offer help or volunteer in some way. Great way to meet people and have 26 ...continued on page 29 BRIAR CREEK BUGLE APRIL, 2015 N "Building Dreams...

Everything we take and sell goes to fund Social Club events for the year. Always check the BC website: www.mybriarcreek.com and check the BC Mart link. You will be surprised at all the goods shown. Thanks to Ray Jablonski who has been a great help this year, and also to Joe Guazzerotti, who looks after the store during the summer. Come and visit us soon; hours are posted in the store window!

Items that have been found by the pool, near the spa, in and around the clubhouse are stored there. At last check, there is a man's wrist watch (faux Rolex), a NYPD man's cap, a pair of swim goggles, as well as many other items in residence. Take a moment also to check out the bulletin board near the outside door that leads to the shuffleboard area. Small items (earrings, keys, etc.) are clipped to the board that also have been misplaced by their owners. The bulletin board is also used to advertise "for-sale-by-owner" items.
