Happy
Labor Day to all our ENA members, past, current &future!
Please enjoy a safe and fun weekend as
you celebrate. Here is some ENA updates and other news for your
information.
WARNING…With much neighborhood
discussion over the
proposed G Resort, it has come to the Board’s
attention that someone has created and posted a
‘Fake’ Face Book site that appears to be for
ENA. NOTE; this is
not an ENA site, and should you get an invitation to ‘friend’ the
posted page, please know that we have no affiliation with this, nor did
we grant permission for the use of our name or logo.
The only official ENA internet
based site
is our official website at,
http://wiltonmanors-ena.org
We have requested through Face
Book that the site/posting be removed as we did not authorize it.
Furthermore,
please take notice that ENA at this time has taken
no position on the proposed G Resort, and any
invitations or
notices you receive with regards to meetings or surveys, either in
support or opposition to the project, are not from an ENA approved or
supported individual or organization. Once ENA hears the project
presentation by the developers at our next General membership meeting
on October 14th,
then and only after an official action is approved by the members (if
any), will ENA publish its’ official opinion of the proposed project.
TREE TRIMMING & LINE
CLEARING STARTING SOON
- The City of
Wilton Manors has been advised by
FPL that they will be
doing line
clearing (tree trimming) in a northeast section of the City in
September (see attached map). It affects some of our neighborhood
area
North of Manors lanes & NE 26th Street. We would
appreciate any assistance you can provide in getting the word out to
your friends & neighbors. Thank you.
WE WON !!! In case
you couldn’t attend, or missed the rumors, ENA’s bowling members
recaptured the Annual Wilton Manors Neighborhood Associations bowling
challenge tournament championship last Saturday, with a close 4 pin win
over rivals WAWM & CANA. Congrats to all who
participated. It was
a fun and friendly event as usual, so we hope you can join us again
next year.

presentation by the representatives and developer of the planned G
Resort, currently proposed for the Church of Religious Science site
in our neighborhood, at the SE corner of NE 26th Street and
NE 15th/16th

applicants plans for the development prior to their case being heard by
the City Commission. Please come and be ready with any questions
you
may have after their presentation.

The remainder of our
meeting will be for conducting the normal business of the
Association,

July - General
Membership Meeting
Broward
County Property Appraiser, Lori Parrish came to speak about property
value trends and provided a lesson
in how to use the search properties features on the web site http://www.bcpa.net/
The
City’s Public Works Department has provided us the most current Broward
County Hurricane Evacuation Map – Download it NOW
your future reference…it’s not too early to begin planning for
the 2010 Hurricane Season,
which starts on June 1st.
While our neighborhoods are not in any current ‘evacuation’ zone, we
thought you might want to have it to see where the evacuation shelters
are located, or to share with family and friends who may be subject to
evacuation.
How about this trio from the A1A Half marathon? Do you
recognize our neighbors?
Julie Carson, Brett Nein and Celeste Ellich Read what Brett had to say...
Thank you to all of our members who have given their time to keep our
neighborhood a beautiful place in which to live.
