And now a word from our sponsor...

I feel honored to have been nominated as one of this year's candidates for the park's POA Director. As you may be aware, the Developer, Madison Florida Grande, will have two members on the board with the third member selected from among the lot-owners. Whoever is elected at Thursday's meeting will have the responsibility of being your eyes, ears and voice in our dealings with Madison.
Since many of you have little or no idea of who I am, I have included a brief biography below.

"If you chat with me you might guess I was not born in the US, but in England. Marian and I met in the mid-fifties in a cycling club in England and we have been running around together ever since - the last 50 years as a married couple.
In the seventies we had an opportunity to come to the US and promptly did just that. We emigrated with our three daughters and became US citizens in the early eighties. Our daughters have since rewarded us with six grandkids and two great-grandsons. After adjusting to our new way of life, we had the great good fortune to live the American dream, eventually retiring in 2006.
We began motor-homing in a Pace Arrow in 1991 and have worked through a variety of vehicles over the last 20 years. At the present time we RV about 8 months each year  - 5 or 6 in the US and 2 or 3 in Europe. We have lived in Indiana for the last 16 years and spend time there in between our travels. Early last year, while roaming around Florida, we stumbled across Florida Grande, bought a lot and the rest is history."

Don't forget however, the POA Election is like any other election - if you want to be represented, you must choose your candidate and then vote!

We currently have a great opportunity to move the park forward and revitalize the original vision - let's not waste it!
