FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2016 5 By Jeri Mupo, General Manager BISTRO AREA It is great to see so many residents and their guests supporting Smitty and the Bistro. However, it has been reported that residents have been taking popcorn into the Bistro area to watch television. Please note that during Smitty's operating hours, the Bistro area seating is for his customers only. Thank you for your consideration. GATE ENTRY CONCERN We have an issue with vehicles that do not have transponders pulling all the way up to the gate and waiting for a resident with a transponder to pull in close enough behind them to activate the gate. If you see a vehicle waiting for entry, please do not access the gate. I know it may be inconvenient, but use the other gate or stay far enough behind them so that they will need to back up and leave. We want to make sure only authorized residents and their guests gain access to our community. BOARD ELECTION BALLOTS Each year we find new ways to improve the election process. In year's past, the Inspectors of Election would spend an entire day opening each green and then each white envelope manually with a letter opener. Last year the association purchased an electronic envelope opener. While this was a great idea for opening the green envelopes, the white envelopes created a problem. They were too bulky to properly open with the electronic opener. This year we are using a new ballot format that is printed on cardstock and perforated on the lower section. Once you select your favorite candidates, please remove the bottom portion of the ballot and place it in the white envelope, this will reduce the bulkiness and allow the electronic envelope opener to do its job. We hope this will allow both envelopes to be opened quickly. You will be receiving your Annual Board Election packet the first week of March. Don't forget to vote! ANNIVERSARY It is hard to believe that in February I celebrated my two-year anniversary here at Four Seasons Beaumont. It is with sincere gratitude that I thank each and every resident, vendor, and especially the staff for making it truly a dream to come to work every day. Together we create this beautiful community called Four Seasons! Thank you, again. HOMEOWNER SUGGESTIONS Please continue to submit your suggestions!
