Resident Newsletter- October

Quarterly Newsletter


We hope you had a pleasurable summer season! As October flies by, it’s a great time for us to reconnect and update you on a variety of things that may be of interest. We care about our residents and want to keep you informed!

Community Updates

Community Offices:

 Our office staff is happy to assist residents by phone or email during posted office hours. Any in-person visits must be by appointment only, and with all communicated safety precautions in place. If you have a maintenance emergency, and it is during office hours, for the quickest response contact the office staff directly.  If you experience a maintenance emergency OUTSIDE of office hours, then the answering service can take a message for you and contact the after-hours staff. (904) 257-4624

If any staff members are also your neighbors, please remember to respect their privacy and do not address community issues with them at their home. Thank you!

Amenities:

 Maintaining safe and sanitary practices recommended by the CDC continues to be a priority with Community Staff. We will adhere to those practices while planning how to safely open amenities, with specific restrictions and policies. Be on the lookout for more information in the weeks to come.

Resident and Staff Safety:

 It is imperative that we all work together to ensure the utmost safety. Subsequently, your Community Staff will continue to do everything they can to maintain adherence to rules and regulations that contribute to a safe environment. If you are ever witness to any type of crime in your community but are afraid to to report it, there are local Crime Stopper organizations that anonymously relay important information to appropriate law enforcement agencies. Below are links to follow, by city or county (if applicable), should you find yourself in that situation.

Lakeshore Home Makeover

Our team is at it again! We appreciate our residents, and we take every opportunity possible to give back to you and build an even greater sense of community. Last month we had the pleasure of completing a home makeover for one of hundreds of deserving residents who submitted an entry. Our refurb team enjoyed every minute of it, and the reveal was as special as we’d hoped.

We will be coming to a community near you in the future, and we’ll be sure to let you know how to enter to win when we’re in your neighborhood! In the meantime, check out our before and after pictures!


What’s New?

Daylight Savings Time Starts November 1st

 That means that for all states other than Hawaii and Arizona, at 2am on Sunday November 1st (or, when you go to bed Saturday night!) we turn the clocks back one hour.

Did you know???

 “War Time” and “Peace Time”

In 1916, during World War I, Germany became the first country to adopt DST to save energy for the war effort. Many countries across Europe soon followed suit. In the US, “Fast Time,” as it was called then, was first introduced in 1918. Only 7 months later, DST was repealed.

In 1942, at the height of World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt reintroduced this previously used measure, instituting year-round Daylight Savings Time in the US. Referred to as “War Time,” DST was in force continuously from February 9, 1942 to September 30, 1945.

During this time, the US time zones were called “Eastern War Time,” “Mountain War Time,” “Central War Time,” and “Pacific War Time.” After the surrender of Japan in mid-August 1945, the time zones were relabeled “Peace Time.”
