November Poll Results |
|
The question was
"What is the best advantage about Florida Living?" The most favored
response was the mild winter weather followed by year-round outdoor
activities. These 2 responses accounted for 49% of all votes. The next
group started with lots of sunshine then no income or inheritance taxes
followed by good housing values. This group accounted for 48% of all
votes. The remainder of the votes were split between friends or family
in the area or other. In summary, most people like the mild winters,
outdoor activities, lots of sunshine and no income or inheritance
taxes...don't we all! We hope you will choose the Florida Lifestyle with
Pringle Development.

Learning About Our Environment |

Workshops That Help Residents Explore The Natural Tapestry of Lake
County
Water – it’s our most valuable natural
resource. We drink it, we cook with it, we bathe in it, we swim in it,
we water our lawns with it, and we often waste it.
Our freshwater supply, along with the plants
and animals that depend on it in their natural environment, is the
primary concern of the Lake County Water Authority. To better inform
residents about the local environment, the Water Authority began a
series of free workshops in October of this year. This series is
presented in partnership with the Lake County Conservation Council, Lake
Louisa State Park and Walkabout Adventures, Inc. The theme of these
workshops is to explore the “Natural Tapestry of Lake County”. The
course was designed to help local residents learn how to live in harmony
with the county’s beautiful natural environment, from our high, rolling
uplands, to our lakes, rivers and wetlands.

Royal Bookworms |
|
Within every Pringle community, residents who share special interests or
hobbies naturally tend to gravitate to one another. Neighbors soon
become friends, and as the group attracts more attention they look for
ways to organize their activity.
The Royal Bookworms is a good example of how a club emerges from shared
interests. It was formed about a year after residents started moving
into Royal Highlands. At that time, Carolyn Floor and Mary Herschel were
volunteering their time to take care of the community library. Carolyn
had some experience as an assistant librarian in a school in Camillus,
NY, so she was familiar with cataloging books. As the community grew,
and more and more books were being added, they recruited more volunteers
to help them.

Southern Living at it's Best
Most of Central Florida's newest residents come to us from places that
are often described as "Frozen Tundra", or more generally as "Up North".
But for Arei and Billy McGahey, their move to Royal Harbor was almost
lateral.
Arei and Billy were both born in Alabama. They first met in grammar
school and grew up in the same neighborhood. After going their separate
ways, they met again years later, while Arei was in college. Arei became
an accountant after they were married, and Billy began a 32 year career
at the Social Security Administration. Arei also went to work for the
SSA, from which they both eventually retired. They have one daughter, an
engineer in New Orleans, and one son who is an independent shipping
agent back Birmingham.

A Fun
Place to Rustle Up Some Good Grub!
Appropriately located in the western part of Lake County, in the
friendly little town of Leesburg, we found the Red House Saloon, a
western grill and bar. You won’t see the gunfighters of the old west,
but you will find a great place to enjoy a drink, and a large menu of
lunch and dinner items.
Pam and Mark Wamsley purchased the Red House Saloon in August. We
visited the Saloon for lunch recently and found it to have a very
pleasant atmosphere and the meals were very tasty. Pam said that they
have several chefs on staff and all food items are freshly prepared from
scratch.
