Minutes in Review

The minutes from the last meeting of the Catalina Oaks Board are being reviewed. The plan is to put the data on the blog within the week.

Thank you to the meeting attendees. We wish more of our residents had an interest and came to the meetings.

Note: We have changed the date , day and time, just to see if we could generate more interest ! What say you~!!!!!!

COHA Party

We have considered a PARTY for the community. At a prior meeting the idea was ..........not acceptable and we passed on it!

I, the secretary, propose we try again! I would like to propose that we try to pick a weekend and do exactly that!

We could call it Catalina Oaks "Getting to Know U 2009". WE have a great community
and we would like to get to know who your neighbors are.

We all have a life plan that may be unusual to our neighbor. The best way to share your life believes and opinions is at the " 2009 Party."

No FIRM plans are in place. The board will be thinking about this and let you know!

All comments are appreciated.

The July 2009 Residents List

The data contained herein is for our community. We hope that we do not compromise your information. If you do not wish to be identified here, let is know.

At the last meeting(7/11) of the board, this data was requested.

We have not put this out by US Mail because of the expense of the postage. We decided to share with those who attended the board meetings, to promote meeting attendance and to reduce COHA costs.

I am sure we are all aware that it now costs, a few shekels, to mail out letters and misc data. We have polled our residents who come to the meetings about mailing out data and explained about costs. It seems that the meeting attendees tend to agree and so we are in compliance and no longer send things by US Mail.

So that means U need to attend the board meetings,to get pertinent data about the community affairs.

Sincerely,

COHA Board

FYI - Jungle Club Jungle Clearing

The Jungle Club has taken out a lot of trees and vegetation on their property past the tennis courts all the way back to Indian River Blvd. What was a natural jungle is no more. For the most part the land has been cleared so the tractor noises and the dust from cutting out trees and digging up roots is over for now. We have noticed a large invasion of raccoons in our area which could be attributed to the clearing of the property.

Some of our residents have experienced some new sounds at various times of the day, which seem to be most noticeable in the early morning. They set up a Congo Agility Course outdoors. This includes a trail, jungle gym bars, balance beams, a small hill to climb and all that. On occasion a group of Jungle Club member's along with a Drill Instructor hit the course. Orders are shouted out to the group to encourage them thru the pain and agony of the course, in an attempt to stay healthy.

Bar code: SEE WHERE IT'S MADE!

This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.
The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods". Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan .

This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't show from which country it is made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits are:


690-692 … then it is MADE IN CHINA .
00 - 09 … USA & CANADA
30 - 37 … FRANCE
40 - 44 … GERMANY
47 ... Taiwan
49 … JAPAN
50 … UK

BUY USA by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get!
