Reclaimed Water Off for One Week
The County has informed us the reclaimed water will be turned off for one week, beginning Saturday, June 21st.  This will not affect the water in your homes, only the sprinkler system.  The summer rains should sufficiently water the lawns in the meantime.

Vineyards Color Palette Approved!
The revised Vineyards color palette was approved unanimously at the June 10th Westchase Voting Members meeting.  The palette awaits final approval from the WCA Board at its June 12th meeting before it becomes official.

Thanks for the Luau!
Thank you to the social committee for putting together the luau.  The food, drinks, and decorations were great.  Thanks to all the neighbors, new and old, that were able to attend.

Board of Directors Meeting
Thank you to those of you who joined the Board of Directors at the HOA meeting on Monday, May 26th.  The Board covered a large amount of material.  We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting at a date to be determined.  You will find the agenda for the meeting under the "Documents" link.

Tables and Umbrellas at the Pool
The Board of Directors approved the purchase of four (4) new tables for the pool area.  The new tables will be constructed entirely of aluminum, which will provide longevity and improve the appearance of the furniture.  The umbrellas have recently taken a great deal of abuse and will not need to be replaced.  We will provide you updates regarding the status of the replacements.

Pool Use
If you use the pool, please be considerate and pick up after yourself by throwing away your trash and moving the furniture back to its original location, which includes closing the umbrellas to avoid wind damage.   Our cleaning company only provides service on Tuesdays and Saturdays.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Annual Meeting
The annual meeting was held on Thursday, March 27th. The neighborhood participation was the best since it's inception. We received almost 70 proxy and in-person votes! Now for the results of the vote. The members of the 2008-09 Board of Directors are as follows:

President - Kevin Kwan
Vice President - Felicia Anderson
Member-at-Large - Josh Butts
Treasurer - Amanda Wynne
Secretary - Paul Phillips

The paint palette measure passed with a neighborhood majority vote (50% +1). The solar light measure did not pass. However, the new Board will continue to pursue a lighting solution for the front entry signs. Finally, a special thank you to all of outgoing Board members, Pam Senk, Katherine Griffin (six boards in a row), Kristin Butts, and Marie Liberatore. Their work was invaluable to our community and much appreciated by all.

Pick Up After Your Dog
Many Vineyards residents are proud owners of dogs. However, many Vineyards residents have not been picking up after their dogs recently. Residents have observed an increase in the number of dog droppings throughout the neighborhood, especially by the lake. Picking up after your dog is not an option, it is mandatory.

Recycling
Please help contribute to the Hillsborough County recycling program. Pick-up is typically Monday morning. It is very easy to recycle as the county takes most paper products, as well as glass, aluminum, metal (i.e., canned soup), etc.
