I wanted to take this opportunity to share some exciting news with you. In the past couple of weeks, representatives from the Activities and Recreation committees, along with myself & Brad Jenkins have been planning a fall musical event.

Right now, we are planning on having an outdoor “Music Fest”, tentatively scheduled for November 2.  The event will include multiple musical talents from the greater Lakeland area who will be performing in an outdoor concert below the clubhouse.

There will be food and fun for all, along with a chance to win gifts!  Proceeds will be given to the Alzheimer’s Association. Why the Alzheimer’s Association?  Well, the event planners agreed on the unanimous decision to support a cause that reaches about everyone we know. What better cause to show our communities’ empirical belief to defeat this disease that so negatively impacts our lives.

There will be lots more information about the event between now and November 2.  So, watch for posters, the HOA Gazette and Newsletter, and Schalamar Weekly Neighborhood News for updates.

In closing, I want to express my sincere respect and gratitude to all the people involved in the planning of the Music Fest.  This was planned as a community event, by working together for a common cause and showing the outside world how together we can accomplish much.
