Take advantage of this program- it was created by our elected legislators!! I did not meet the elgiblity for totally free grant but I am going to check out the Florida "match" of up to $ 5,000.
My Safe Florida Home program
Did you know?
Strengthening your home against hurricanes can help.....
1. Reduce the amount and extent of hurricane damage to your home. A Category 1 Hurricane with winds of 75 mph can inflict as much as $ 25,000. in damage to a home without opening protection.
2. Improve your overall recovery time from a Hurricane. On average, homeowners without hurricane protection on their windows and doors took nearly one year to fully recover from a catastrophic hurricane.
3. Save money on your hurricane insurance premium. Protecting your windows and doors, including garage doors, may help you save more that 10 percent on your hurricane insurance.
The My Florida Home program was created by Florida Legislature in 2006 to help Floridians strengthen their homes against hurricanes. You may be eligible for a free wind inspection, which will tell you how you can best protect your home. Additionally, if you receive an inspection and meet certain requirements, you may be eligible to apply for a matching grant of up to $ 5,000.Also, you may be eligible for a full grant (cost free) if you make the annual earnings limitations.
To learn more or to apply for a free wind inspection, log onto WWW.MYSAFEFLORIDAHOME.COM or call the My Safe Florida Home program toll-free at 1-866-513-6734.
For FREE INSPECTION use the following CODE:A-01

August 2007 Newsletter
Hope you are enjoying your summer. Once again the community meetings are on hold until September 2007 at the Beachers Lodge.
We will sponsor an "Ice Cream Social" that evening. Bring a friend, bring a neighbor -- we have a special deal. Bring a friend/neighbor residing in Treasure Beach that has not been for a while or has never attended a meeting and your name plus the person you brought will be eligible for drawing of a cash prize. So, there may be some cash in it for you. Our Community Meeting begins at the regular time, 7:30 P.M. Friday September 7th.
We will have 2 guest speakers at this meeting. Our Sheriffs Office will be on hand to talk about our community safety and scam artists. Our second speakers will discuss their plans for the 6 home development at Desoto Road. Our meeting agenda will go like this:
Opening remarks
Guest Speaker- Sheriffs Office( 1/2 hour)
Guest Speakers -- Desoto Road Planned Development ( 1/2 hour)
Ice Cream Social -- 1/2 hour
Short Business Meeting
Lottery Ticket and cash prize awarded.
We will be out no later than 9:45 P.M.
A Vacation from Business:
Your Board of Directors took off for July for a well-deserved break. We will start-up our Board Meetings on August 20th.
Doug Berndt (461-6943) always needs volunteers for the Neighborhood Watch. He is just asking for just one (1) week of your personal time.
Regarding the Canals:
In July Doug Martin (our canal chairman) accompanied by Ron Larsen and myself attended a meeting at the County Purchasing Office regarding the selection of a Marine Professional Company who would inspect Treasure Beach canals and assess the bulkheads (regarding physical condition). As information - there were 5 companies who submitted their credentials and bids. We voiced our concerns regarding the selection process letting it known that we did not want one specific individual contractor to be any part of this process.
I believe that our remarks were taken seriously by the committee .We now await the County Commissioners award. We think the selection will benefit our community.
Regarding the Ocean boardwalk:
This subject will resume at our August Board Meeting.
The Annual Bowling Outing:
Well, there was apparently no interest. The outing was a bust. No Shows(except for me). Oh well maybe another time.
Our Annual Treasure Beach Party:
We did not have too many neighbors attending; maybe it was the heat wave we have been experiencing. Those who attended forgot to bring their camera for that Kodak Moment. We learn by our mistakes. Next year we'll try to improve out announcement of this venue.
Our Front Entrance:
I would like to take this time to thank all the residents who have donated their "Dirt" to get things going for our entrance beautification chairperson Jill to start planting. I see that we are still short the dirt that is needed for the planters.
So, run out to the garden center and donate your bag of dirt if you haven't done so. We are depending upon you.
Treasure Beach Christmas Party:
We have signed a contract with Amicis' Restaurant for our Annual Christmas Party. The event will take place on Saturday December 1,2007 at 6:00 P.M.
We received so many great complements from those who attended that we decided to do it again. We will remind you about tickets in the next month or so.
For Sale Announcements:
I will take an email from those who wish to sell or give away items they do not want. Until our Web Site is up and running. I will take your requests and broad cast to our Treasure Beach residents. For those who are on my email broadcast system this service is free. I just want to give a value added item for Treasure Beach. My e mail address is CNOVAK6@BELLSOUTH.NET .
