M E S S AG E F R O M T H E H OA P R E S I D E N T Happy New Year Association Members and Neighbors! I hope everyone enjoyed ringing in 2019 with their friends and families! End of the year activities in the HOA world are not always as exciting, but they are very important. The Eaglebrooke HOA Board of Directors spent the last couple months of 2018 approving the 2019 budget, and are now preparing for the Annual Meeting, elections, 2019 board meetings, and adopting the upcoming year’s budget. Your HOA Board has a lot in store for you this year that you won’t want to miss! As I mentioned in the December Newsletter, our top priority for 2019 is to continue to improve our methods of communication within the community. Our email initiative will be our focus for the coming months. We are requesting that everyone submit their email address to JoAnna via manager@eaglebrooke. net or by calling her at 863-808-0035. We would like to use email to communicate to our homeowners and residents to send you Board meeting minutes, special communications such as criminal activity reports in the neighborhood and meeting notices, etc. We will continue to post this information to our website, but we believe email communication will allow us to reach out to you more proactively and timely. Your email address will only be used for HOA communication and will not be shared with others. General Reminders 1. The Eaglebrooke HOA Annual Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 19 at 6:30 pm in the Clubhouse. In preparation for the Annual Meeting, Bob Rodrigues is leading the nominating committee. We have 3 board seats vacating this year. 2. If you’re interested in sharing your time and talents 20 eaglebrooke newsletter DECEMBER as a Board Member in 2019, please contact Bob Rodrigues at [email protected] or JoAnna Likar at [email protected] to request an Intent to Run form.

The next HOA Board meeting is scheduled for January 15th at 6:30 pm in the Clubhouse. Your involvement and your input are encouraged and are much appreciated.
