President's Report

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Our lives are characterized by milestones. Our first birthday

is a milestone. Our first steps and first words, our first day

of kindergarten, graduation from middle school are all

milestones in our lives. I can remember clearly the day I

turned sixteen, and I went down to the Department of Motor

Vehicles and passed my driver’s license. Other milestones

include high school graduation, maybe college and grad

school graduations. Then there might be marriage, our first

real job, first home, wedding anniversaries, and retirement.

All these things mark important as parts of our life journey,

and they need to be celebrated.

This year is a huge milestone in our country’s history as

we celebrate our two-hundred fiftieth anniversary of its

founding. There have been many milestones along the way,

some good and some not so good. But we are still here, still

free, and still thriving. We have been able to maintain the

course that was set before us by our founding fathers. I am

afraid that few of us can really comprehend the struggles

and sacrifices that were made by so many to establish the

United States of America. In these next few months take

advantage of all the historical information that will be

available concerning the birth and the many milestones in

the history of this great country. They are living reminders

of who we are and who we still want to become.

This year Tuscawilla is marking a milestone. Forty-five

years ago, Tuscawilla was established, and the Tuscawilla

Homeowners Association was founded. As you know

Tuscawilla is one of the few premier planned communities

in Seminole County. The bylaws stated that there would be a

monthly newsletter to keep the community informed. Over

the years this newsletter has evolved into the Tuscawilla

Today Magazine. The association works together with the

city leaders, the police department, neighboring communities

and the county leadership to keep this a wonderful place

to live. Recently we came across a treasure trove of

documents from the founding of the association. We will be

sharing these periodically in our magazine.

I recently talked to a person who has a business of buying

and renovating homes. He does great work. He says that

homes in Tuscawilla are in great demand. He enjoys seeing them 

restored. Tuscawilla still is a premier community, and your Board of Directors

through the years has helped make this happen. Your support

is increasingly essential for our future. Faithful residents

and friends are our strength in keeping Tuscawilla a great

place to live. 

Please remember to pay your $40 dues either

by mail or on our website. Thank you for your continued

support of your Homeowners Association and on February

fourteen enjoy Valentines Day.
