| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | FEBRUARY 2019 | 3 From the President's Desk By Sandra Moyer Now that the holidays and parties have ended, we are back into our normal routine. January was a cold and wet month. Please be sure to turn off your sprinklers when we have days of rain fall. We need to continue to be vigilant on water use. The meet and greet with FirstService Residential (FSR) was well attended. The first session was a bit overwhelming due to half of attendees (300) did not RSVP. FSR did a fantastic job of compensating for the situation. They added an additional five people to help you sign up for your choice of payment of HOA dues. The residents were happy to see so many of FSR employees there, including the President of the company as well as the Executive VP, our Regional Director and many more and as you know all enjoyed the appetizers and drinks they provided. We ask that you be patient with our Administrative Staff as they are going thru this transition. There will be days of training for them to learn the systems and IT products of FSR. I also wanted to inform you that FSR retained 93 percent of our staff. I feel that is a great testimony to the professionalism and acceptance of FSR company.
