- Good Morning All, We have been asked by the FMO to inform all manufactured homeowners......
The Office of Insurance Regulations is holding a public hearing on State Farm Florida Insurance
companies' request for a 42 percent overall rate increase for its manufactured home line of
coverage. It's at 9AM on Wednesday, March 7th in Tallahassee. EMAIL COMMENTS TO:
ratehearings@floir.com, with the subject line 'STATE FARM FLORIDA". We cannot let this happen
and we need to express our concern before the public hearing. If State Farm is allowed to increase
their rates all the other insurance company's will be able to increase their rates, too. Thank you for
your help in this matter. Hope to see all of you at the District IV Meeting on March 13th.

- The C.O.P. is still collecting aluminum cans. Please help support this organization by saving your aluminum cans and bringing them to the receptacles across from the service building or call John at 467-1157 and he will arrange to pick them. The funds from this project pay for gasoline for the patrol car. Thank you!
- BEREAVEMENT COMMITTEE - As of Sunday, April 1st, the current Bereavement Committee and I will be retiring. We have served this Community as volunteers for the past five years and find it necessary to move
on. This has been a very rewarding experience for all of us. As I have said in the past, the response that we
got from all of the residents when asking for food for the bereavements has been overwhelming. Give
yourselves a big hand. There are no people like Spanish Lakes Fairways people! Many thanks to Gary Dixon
and the Recreation Department staff for their help from start to finish in planning and executing these
bereavements. The Bereavement Committee provides a twofold purpose to the Community. First, it gives
the Community a chance for closure when one of our residents passes and it also, gives the bereaved family
a chance to see us as a Spanish Lakes family caring for one another. We hope that some folks will step up
to form a new Committee. The outgoing Committee and I will be only too glad to assist them in the turnover.

- WELCOME BASKETS - The HOA & the Rec Dept are sponsoring the distribution of welcome baskets to our new residents at the Fairways. This project is not connected to the Welcoming Committee which hosts newcomer receptions on occasion. The baskets will be filled with helpful information and a couple of small gifts.. ie: jam, candy or similar. We invite leaders and assistants of the SLF Clubs and Organizations to consider putting an invitation or such from your group in these baskets. We would like to help you promote your activities and help to make our new neighbors feel at ‘home’! For more information, call Mary DeCunzo at 461-9665.
