LA II (WH) HOA NEWS By Connie Strassberg, Treasurer "Summertime, and the living is easy!” But it’s also hurricane season, so now is the time to take steps to protect yourself, your home, and your family. Let’s do our part to safeguard our little piece of paradise. The HOA maintains five flyer slots at the top of the board at the HFC. These currently contain Email Contact Authorization forms, Age Verification forms, and other important community information. To qualify as an age-restricted 55+ community in Florida, we must comply with the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), which requires age verification every two years. Every household in Lake Ashton II received an Age Verification form from our management company, Stambaugh. Many residents have already returned theirs but we still need more to meet the requirement. If you need another form, you can pick one up from the flyer slot at the HFC. Complete the form and return it to Stambaugh as soon as possible, by mail or by placing it in the white HOA mailbox at the HFC. Your participation is essential to help us maintain our 55+ designation. To receive official email notifications from the LA2 HOA, you must complete and submit an Email Authorization Form. Due to privacy laws, we cannot contact you by email without it. You can pick up a form from the HFC flyer slot, fill it out, and return it either by mail or by placing it in the white HOA mailbox. For questions, contact Stambaugh at 863- 324-5100. Visit https:// stambaugh.cincwebaxis.com to find announcements, documents, the resident directory, a community calendar, and online payment options. First-time users can click “REGISTER” in the top right corner to sign up. This is your website—please use it! The LA2 HOA Board of Directors meets on the third Tuesday of each month at the HFC. Due to summer break, the next meeting will be in August. The meeting time and agenda will be emailed to all who have opted in for email communications. The Architectural Review Committee (ARC), a branch of the HOA, meets on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at 1 pm at the HFC. Check with the front desk for the exact location. To contact the ARC, visit arctracker.com and select Lake Ashton 2 as the area. 17 LA II (WH) HOA Board Members : • President Bill Testa, PresidentLA2HOA@gmail.com • VP- ARC Mike Brennan, VPArcLA2HOA@gmail.com • Secretary Joe Ellwanger, SecretaryLA2HOA@gmail.com • Treasurer Connie Strassberg, TreasurerLA2HOA@gmail.com • Asst Treasurer Ray Rudy, VPTreasurerLA2HOA@gmail.com PREPARE FOR STORM SEASON Ensure trees on your property are trimmed to avoid potential projectiles during a storm.
