MANAGER’S MESSAGE Hello, It’s October….cooler weather is coming soon! We will be having our community dinner on October 17th. Come dressed in a Halloween costume, crazy hat or dress in PINK for breast cancer….or come as you are. Be sure to check the community calendar for other events! There will be a self defense class soon, more info to come. Just a friendly reminder that rent is due on the 1st of each month. To make things easy and convenient as possible, we encourage residents to enroll in automatic payments through ACH or submit payments online at www. junipersandsfl.com. If you haven’t signed up to have your lot rent automatically taken out of your bank account or you are not paying online via our website, please do so at your earliest convenience. I have the ACH forms, and I can help you get set up to pay online. One less check you would have to write each month. Eventually paper checks will be a thing of the past. We understand that unexpected situations can happen, and we truly appreciate open communication if challenges arise. Our intention is always to work together and support our residents whenever possible. Blessings and Happiness, Ernie (text 904-689-4009) “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” • We have a raffle at the dinners to raise money for Neighbors Helping Neighbors.

REMINDERS The speed limit is 15 mph. Please slow down! There are a few of you that seem to forget we have a speed limit in our community. Remember, when it rains, to slow way down. This will help keep the water from going into your neighbor’s yard. Please continue to keep your homes and lots manicured and decluttered. There are some of you that think you shouldn’t comply with community standards. Walk around the outside of your home and make a list of improvements that need to be made and take action. Pressure wash your home, clean the gutters, paint if needed, etc. Make your home look the best you can! For those of you who refuse to comply, a notice will be given to you and placed in your file. 3 notices can result in eviction. When you cut your lawn, please do not blow your debris on your neighbor’s lot or vehicle. Please be respectful...treat others the way you would like to be treated. If you have relatives or friends visiting for more than a few days, please let me know. It is important that I know who is in the park. Visitors are allowed to stay up to 14 days at a time. 30 days total per year. Please do not let your visitors bring a pet weighing more than 20 pounds. Large dogs can be a danger to our small pets. If you haven’t signed up to ACH to have your rent automatically come out of your bank account, please reconsider the convenience of it. Or you can set up an account at www. junipersandfl.com and pay online. Juniper Sands now has a mobile App. You can download it on Google Play or App Store or Scan the QR code. If you notice anything that should be added or deleted, please let me know. Please check out the bulletin board in the Pavilion for upcoming events and opportunities to share your hobbies, favorite pastime games, book clubs, yoga, etc. Please keep your dog on a leash when outside and when you’re walking your dog, do not let your dog go in other residents’ yards. If your dog poops, clean it up and dispose of it. If you are a cat owner, please be sure that your cat has a collar on. Please stop feeding the feral cats, and raccoons. The food that is being left out for the cats is bringing more rodents and wild animals into our community!!! If you don’t feed the cats, they will catch the rodents!!!! Garbage pickup: Monday and Friday - household garbage, Wednesday- yard debris. Please put your household garbage in strong garbage bags and don’t make them too heavy to where they fall apart when picked up.
