                                                   Spring is here and with that a new

                                                   Board year!


                                                            elcome Helen Bennett and Cheryl Becker. Thank you, Anne
                                                            Maschmeyer, for taking on the Vice Presidency. Thank you, Paul
                                                  WRenneisen and Sussy Rosen, who will be leaving the Board but are still
                                                   involved on committees.
                                                   We had our LRA Annual meeting at our home this year and the new format and
                                                   venue turned out to be a hit! Although the venue was more informal and we
                                                   had an hour of mingling prior to the official meeting, we kept a thorough and
               Helena Cooper                       structured agenda. Kicking off with the Pledge of Allegiance, we set the tone of
                   PRESIDENT                       professionalism and respect for our nation and political system.

                                                   The Social Committee, with Anne Maschmeyer at the helm, did an incredible job

                                                   coordinating all the food and drinks. A big thank you again to Triana Nania for
                 VICE PRESIDENT                    lending us your culinary expertise. The food was delicious! We also made our
                Anne Maschmeyer                    guests feel more involved by bringing either an appetizer or a bottle of wine.

                                                   Several of our city and county officials were present. Speaking were Broward

              danatmullaney@aol.com                One Commissioner John Herbst. In addition, we had four of our representatives
                                                   from FLPD: Sargent Pekrol, Officers Herring and Geraldo, and Public Safety

                                                   It was a fabulous opportunity to get better acquainted with neighbors, elected
                                                   officials, police and code enforcement. We work closely with them on matters

                  Cheryl Becker                    dedication to the community and set us apart as one of the city’s most engaged

              shahina507@yahoo.com                 Earlier this month we had several car thefts and break-ins reported in The Landings
                                                   and we urge you again to not leave any valuables in your cars, always lock your
                                                   cars and leave FOBs way out of reach from the car. At our March board meeting
                                                   the police department recommended a Faraday bag for key FOBs. They are
                                                   available online for under $10.00.
