From the President This past week we received a number of calls from our residents informing us of people who are going from door to door in our community trying to sell either windows or perishable goods. The sheriff was called. A deputy was dispatched and escorted these sellers out of our community. Unfortunately they turned around and came right back in when the deputy left. You may have noticed, there are “No Soliciting” signs at our gates. Charities are exempt from “No Soliciting” rules; therefore the religious groups that we see occasionally are free to go from house to house. However, anyone selling any type of item is subject to Florida Statute 501-022 if they do not carry a County ID card or permit. If caught without card or permit, solicitors are subject to a considerable fine. We draw our power to deny door-to-door selling in our subdivision from the Florida Statute. Therefore, if someone at your door has no ID or permit, you should call the Sheriff’s office immediately at 316-1201. This protects us from unwanted individuals roaming our streets.

Deed Restrictions The Deed Restriction Committee has been noticing more lawns and flower beds that are in dire need of attention and care. While we realize we are in a drought situation and a difficult economy, this does not preclude lawns from being cut each week and flower beds getting extensive weeding care. As a reminder: Promptly put trash containers and recycle bins away after pickup on Thursdays. All garbage and trash containers must be placed so that they shall not be visible from the streets or adjoining properties. Kevin Trinklein, Chairperson Women’s Club of Sorrento East Our last luncheon meeting, held at the Venice Yacht Club on October 2, was presided over by our new president, Pat Flanagan and attended by 56 members. The program was presented by guest speaker, Carol Suter, from the Venice Historical Society. Carol spoke on the history of Venice mainly from her family’s personal observation and involvement from the early time on, which made it quite interesting. Our next luncheon meeting will be held at Mission Valley Country Club at 12 noon on Friday, November 6. Our program is entitled “K9 Search and Rescue Dog”. One of these dogs is being brought in for the presentation. Jane Hildenbrandt, Publicity Visit our webpage at www.mywcse.com. Security Patrol We need volunteers for our security patrol.

Sorrento East Needs You!!! As many of you are aware the nominating committee is appointed to fill any positions that are vacated on the Sorrento East Board. This year we are losing our President Claire Shomody. Not to worry, our current Vice President Bill Rich has agreed to accept the nomination for President. Kevin Trinklein, one of our current Directors, has agreed to accept the nomination for Vice President. Sally Krell, our longtime Secretary, has graciously agreed to remain another term. Our Treasurer Bob Schilling and one of our Directors Harry Hruniak are not seeking election leaving their positions open. Huss Malik and Norm Stewart will continue to serve the second year of their two year term as Directors. With all the movement described above our committee is charged with filling the positions of Treasurer and two Directors. I am pleased to inform you that Lorraine Kernaghan, a long time resident of Sorrento East, has agreed to accept the nomination for one of our two open Directors positions. This now leaves us with a Treasurer and Director’s position to fill. Our Board meets 8 times a year and usually does not meet during the summer. The date and times are not fixed but currently the board meets on the second Tuesday of the month. Most meetings last an hour to an hour and a half. The board reviews and discusses communications, finances, committee reports, and any other issues that may be pertinent to our community and its future. If you or someone you know is interested in making a difference, please contact one of the committee members listed below. Sorrento East Needs You!!!
Nominating Committee Bowlers Hope we have some bowlers out there. I am a member of the Sorrento Seniors Bowling group which bowl on Tuesdays, 2pm at the AMF Bowling Lanes on Rt. 41 bypass near the Toyota dealership in Venice. We range in age from the 50’s to the 90’s, yes I said the 90’s!!!. This is a fun bowling group-we are not sanctioned, nor do we have the foul lights on-we just have a great day out bowling and socializing and we need some more members. Some of our members do not even return until November but we don’t mind, it’s just great to see everyone again! I believe our bowlers averages are from the 90’s to the 180’s, so you can see we have a wide spectrum of men and women bowlers out every week on the lanes. If you are interested, please call me at 918-0158-hope I get some calls. Pat Smith Your SEPOA Dues In this time of cutbacks, recession, etc. it is even more important to be sure that good value is received for money spent. So what do you get for the $40 SEPOA annual fee? These are some of the benefits received:
What a bargain!!!! |
