From The President - Summer 2008

Dear Neighbors:

Wow…I can’t believe almost another year has flown by. In no time the students will be back and life will be, as most of us know it, back to ‘normal.’ Lots of nice things have been happening in our neighborhood over the past year. I continue to see new, double insulated windows being installed on many houses in Suburban Heights, several new in-ground sprinkler systems, several homes that have had entire lawns re-landscaped, requiring less irrigation than before, and other changes which indicate substantial investment in our neighborhood. I’m certain as gas continues to escalate, and it will, our neighborhood will continue to enjoy increasing property values because of our location and the continuous re-investment in our homes.

Our web site is up and operational (www.suburbanheights.blogspot.com), we have a fairly extensive list of “Neighbors in Business” several with links to their websites. We have had very good and consistent representation from the Gainesville Police Department at each of our quarterly meetings. Our fine city manager, working from recommendations of affected neighbors, GPD, and city traffic experts made a slight change at the somewhat dysfunctional intersection of 19th Place, 19th Ave. and NW 46th Terrace. Please know this is your city officials being responsive to your concerns.

We’re continuing the discussion on possibly offering the OPTION of paying Association dues, etc. by utilizing PayPal. We think such an option will make things easier for you AND for your Board.

Finally, as many of you know, the yearly picnic was a GREAT success for all. GPD’s traffic unit brought a motorcycle that the children loved as well as a canine which was also a big hit. District Commander, Captain Ed Book attended as did several others zone officers. The food was good; the company wonderful. Thanks to all those who put this on year in and year out….they know how to do it.

If you have any suggestions, ideas or concerns, please email me or let your area representative know and we’ll do what we can, if we can.

In Your Service,

Tony Domenech
