PARKING:
- For the purpose of loading and unloading only, owners and residents may use the designated ten (10) minute parking spaces when they are available, but only for a maximum time of THIRTY (30) MINUTES. To take advantage of the 30 minute window, the vehicle parked in the space must have the emergency flashers on for the duration of the parking period. Should a vehicle be observed as parked without the emergency flashers on for more than a ten minute time period, the vehicle may be towed without warning. Any attempt to utilize this space as a long-term parking solution is a violation of the Association’s Rules and Regulations and may result in fining and/or towing at the vehicle owner’s expense.
- Reduce the risk of theft or other incidents by
- Lock Your Vehicle: Always lock your vehicle doors, and make sure all windows are fully closed.
- Avoid Hiding Spare Keys: Don’t leave spare keys inside your vehicle, as thieves know where to look.
- Keep Valuables Hidden: Keep valuable items and shopping bags out of sight or, ideally, take them with you. Items left in plain view can attract burglars.
- Use Anti-Theft Devices: Consider using steering wheel locks, car alarms, or GPS tracking devices to deter thieves.

DID YOU KNOW?
- Labor Day originated in Canada in 1872. It was a day to honor the labor movement. This idea was later adopted by the United States in the 1880s.
- In other countries, Labor Day is known as International Worker’s Day and celebrated on May 1st. Some people have celebrations and parades, while others use the day to advocate for workers’ rights.
- The holiday has evolved over the years. In the late 19th century, celebrations focused on parades in urban areas. Now the holiday is a celebration that honors organized labor with fewer parades, and more activities. It also marks the perceived end of the summer season.
- Can you wear white after Labor Day? This old tradition goes back to the late Victorian era, where it was a fashion faux pas to wear any white clothing after the summer officially ended on Labor Day. The tradition isn’t really followed anymore. EmilyPost.com explains the logic behind the fashion trend – white indicated you were still in vacation mode at your summer cottage.
