North Star Yacht Club Association

Dog Owners
I have been getting reports of NSYC homeowners letting their dogs go to the bathroom outside the back gates and not picking it up. The association does maintain this property and just because it is not within the gates does not mean you don’t have to pick it up. The residents that walk this area and the boaters would appreciate this. As posted in my blog on January 30th, 2012, Lee county has seen an increase in the Canine Parivo infection. From Wink News “Parvo-virus is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. It can be especially severe in puppies that are not protected by maternal antibodies or vaccination. The common signs are severe vomiting and diarrhea. The virus can live in organic matter, such as soil, for over a year. Victims of this virus die of dehydration as the virus attacks the intestinal lining. The parvo-virus is highly contagious, expensive to treat, and often fatal despite treatment,”warns LCDAS veterinarian, Suzanne Vazzana.” This alone is a great reason to pick up after your pet!

Sliding Glass Doors and Screen Doors
L.C Wax / Alumaslick, manufactured by Protexall can also be found at HARDWARE STORE ON 3700 Fowler St, Fort Myers, FL 33901 or
Vision Ace Hardware 12830 Metro Pkwy Fort Myers, FL . Mr. Wekenman has used it and says it works great!

Additions to the Property
The association has purchased one more 6 foot table and 8 more folding chairs. They are scheduled to be delivered in a few weeks. The association is also looking into to purchasing two more luggage carts (1 per tower). Some of the residents that participate in the fitness classes at NSYC have asked if the association would purchase a hands free mic for the instructor. Michelle provided me with information on this and it has been sent to the Board along with the prices for the luggage carts. I will let you know what the Board would like to do about these two items.

Balconies
Please do not shake rugs out over the balcony. There are people below you and I am sure they do not want to have debris being blown into or on their lanais.
