Community Update
Hi Everyone! As always, I hope you
have all enjoyed this past month along
with the many activites and events that The
VillageWalk Community offers. I also hope
all of our students had a great first week
back to school! Thank you to everyone who
joined us to celebrate National Night Out
this year, we had an amazing turn out and
an absolutely great time. Thank you Dex
Dexter and his wonderful wife, Nadine, for all
they put into this event each year!
In early August, we held a Working Board
Session to allow the members of the board
to meet and work together to discuss the
timeline and organization of the VillageWalk
turnover. We have a very proactive plan
in place and anticipate this to happen
around May of 2016. Make sure to keep
your eyes open for educational seminars
about what to expect for this transition, as
well as opportunities to volunteer for various
transitional committees and how to run for
The VillageWalk Board of Directors. Valerie
and I will be working with homeowner, Valda
Coryat, on communcations to the community.
We understand this may be a first experience
for many and want to make it as transparent
and simple to understand as possible.
Our Board Members, Tom Rose and Allen
Eschette, are also working with homeowner,
Russ Gates, to hold quite a few educational
seminars leading up to the transtion. Our
first seminar, will be “What is an Association”?
This will be held by our very own Association
Attorney, Karen Wonsetler. It will be held in
the Town Center Ballroom on September
17th at 7 pm. Next, we will be holding a
Board Member Certification on September
19th from 9 am - 12 pm. If you are interested
in running for the Board of Directors, I highly
encourage you to attend this workshop. We
have partnered up with the City of Orlando
and Ruggeri Law Firm to hold this class right
inside of VillageWalk. If you may have missed
the prior emails, please contact me as soon
as possible to get registered.
I am so excited of what is upon us.
We have an amazing group of residents
contributing their time and talents for the
VillageWalk Community. I hope you will too.
We need as much participation as possible.

Update
By: Chris Skerzsick
The heat and humidity in August was brutal and
definitely took its toll on our staff. Maybe it’s just me
getting older, but I can’t remember ever being so worn
out due to the weather. I would like to thank all of you
for your patience with us, as well as the many who have
offered water and compassion to us throughout the day.
Rainfall totals for August were above normal.
This has helped keep the lake levels up, which enhances
the beauty of the community. While rain is always a welcome sight, it does bring us many
challenges; weeds, staying on schedule, excessive turf growth, just to name a few. Once again,
I want to thank everyone for their patience as we work through this very difficult time of year.
Palm replacements were completed last month for the HOA. If you have been in your
home for less than one year, palm and tree replacements are the responsibility of the original
installer. They warranty this material for one year. If you have a problem, contact us or the
HOA, and we will contact the original installer for you. Sometime, around the middle of this
month, we will be changing out the communities flowers. We change the flowers on a rotation
of approx. every three months. Our goal is for the beds to remain colorful right up to the time
they are removed. Currently, the beds are planted with a mixture of Coleus. These plants are
very good performers in the extreme conditions we face in the summer. The entire community
has the mulch replenished once yearly. This is normally done in the fall/winter months. Due to
the size of the community, this project takes approx. two months to complete.
Please be proactive if you are going to have work done at your home. Any additions, such
as patios, pools or fences will require the irrigation to be inspected. Capping and rerouting, if
needed, can be a relatively easy project, or it could become more involved. Removal of plant
material falls into the same situation. This work takes us time to schedule and complete. Most
of the time we are scheduled two to three weeks ahead. The sooner we are aware, the better
we will be able to serve you once your project has been approved by the ARC. Please do not
schedule any work prior to speaking with us first, this includes fence installations. If you ever
have any questions or concerns you can use our customer
service system of contact your HOA and we will d our best
to help. We appreciate the opportunity we are afforded,
servicing this beautiful community.

Crystal River
Archaeological
State Park
Explore Florida
A National Historic Landmark, this 61-acre,
pre-Columbian, Native American site has burial
mounds, temple/platform mounds, a plaza area,
and a substantial midden. The six-mound
complex is one of the longest continuously occupied sites in Florida. For 1,600
years the site served as an imposing ceremonial center for Native Americans.
People traveled to the complex from great distances to bury their dead and
conduct trade. It is estimated that as many as 7,500 Native Americans may
have visited the complex every year. Although primarily an archaeological
site, the park sits on the edge of an expansive coastal marsh. Anglers may
catch saltwater and freshwater fish. As part of the Great Florida Birding Trail,
the park offers bird-watchers the chance to observe a variety of birds. The
park has a boat tour of the river every Friday, weather permitting. Located on
Museum Pointe in Crystal River.

Bring
Your Inner
Beauty
Out!
It’s September! And you know what that means; cooler temperatures are just around the
corner. In the beauty world that means we can take a break from our melt proof makeup
regimens. A simple nude lip is a trendy way to kick off the start of Fall and that we did
at last month’s makeup clinic. First we pampered our lips with a Satin Lips treatment
that left our lips feeling absolutely luscious! We learned to line our lips according to
our lip shape to create perfect symmetrical lips.
Consider your skin tone when selecting your nude lip color, too beige and you will look
ill, the right color adds life to your face!
Amp up your nude lip with strategically placed concealer, for a huge impact!
Pair your gorgeous, pouty nude lip with a dramatic eye or a bold brow. This month’s
make up clinic is “Brows That Wow”, you may not realize this, but your eyebrows are the
best accessories for your face. Come out and learn how to get your ideal arch!
Join your neighbors at our monthly Village Walk Makeup Clinics each third Wednesday
of the month, either 11am or 7pm. No sales pitch, just great information. The clinics
are complimentary, however your must register as space is limited! Watch for those event
invites in your email or on Facebook.
Hope to see you on the 16th!!

Let’s find out together
What does living well mean to us? It’s about enjoying a longer, healthier and more
prosperous life. As part of that goal, we’re now collecting community count and
consent forms from residents to participate in the Lake Nona Life Project, a multigenerational wellness study created in partnership with Johnson & Johnson. This is
our chance to better understand how a community as special as ours can positively
affect the wellbeing of its residents and employees. It’s easy to get involved – you just
need to live or work in Lake Nona and be willing to take a simple annual survey about
your health and lifestyle choices. We’ll use this information, in complete confidence,
to find ways to help us live longer, live better and live well.

the study and upcoming information sessions, email [email protected].
INSECT
DISCOVERY LAB
The Insect Discovery Lab has come to Central Florida! We travel with live invertebrates to share with
children of all ages the wonders of the “little things that run our world”. Science comes to life in the hour
long program. We always excite our audiences, and leave them with a curiosity that instills the desire to
discover more.
The Insect Discovery Lab is a program of SaveNature.Org. This wonderful organization, located in
California, was created to raise funds to purchase and protect critical habitat around the world. Since the
early 1990s, SaveNature.Org has raised close to five million dollars, through a variety of programs, that
was used for rainforest and ocean habitat preservation. The Insect Discovery Lab - California is one of
these programs.
And now The Insect Discovery Lab - Florida is traveling throughout Central Florida making life
science fun in schools, at birthday parties, at Scout meetings, at camps, at festivals - everywhere! The
invertebrates demonstrate fascinating concepts from metamorphosis to pollination to camouflage, among
many others. The programs are age specific and can include crafts and challenging games and even
flowering plants for the children to take home so they can create their own pollinator gardens!
Discover the Insect Discovery Lab - Florida. Visit our website at insectdiscoverylabflorida.myfreesites.net
and like us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/InsectDiscoveryLab/Florida.
For more information email [email protected].
The Insect Discover Lab is coming to VillageWalk Registration is necessary.
We are so excited that Discovery Lab will be offering a class on Saturday October 3rd . We will offer two
classes beginning at 11 am for elemenatray children and noon for 12 and over!

How do you celebrate your 50th Anniversary?
If you're Princess Cruise Lines, you throw out all the stops! Just to name a few, there's onboard special events
including "Love Boat" deck parties, musical performances from tribute bands like Beatlemania, bringing the
greatest hits over the decades to life, and commemorative menus featuring some of the best dishes served
over the last 50 years. Oh, and if you are celebrating either your 50th birthday, or 50th anniversary, there's
a special something on board for you as well in 2015!
Princess carefully selects people and companies to partner with to give it's clients only the very best
experience. They've teamed up with renowned master chocolatier, Norman Love, to launch their sinfully
delicious Chocolate Journeys program. He owns "Norman Love Confections, a premier chocolate shop in
South Florida. Also new is the Princess Seawitch 50th Anniversary microbrewed beer. Princess welcomes
Discovery and Animal Planet who are now offering exclusive shore excursions for the clients. "The Voice" will
be coming soon to the ships as well including the famous chairs that turn! And the latest addition to the
Princess family, is a new partnership with Chef Curtis Stone. In addition to special items on the main menus,
he will also has a specialty restaurant called "Share" on select ships as well as a "Chef's Table" which will be
served by the executive chef onboard the ships.
The Love Boat has certainly come a long way since the tv show starring Gavin McLeod. He continues to be
a spokesperson for the cruise lines who he had a strong working and personal relationship with. If you get a
chance, I highly recommend reading his book, "This is your Captain Speaking". You honestly feel like he is
just sitting on the couch with you and telling you his story.
As far as destinations goes, well, they go pretty much around the world! One that I will feature is Alaska,
where they are considered a leader. They have the most ships there as well as owning their own resorts. From
sailing the sheltered waters of Alaska's fjords and Inside Passage, to traveling across the vast wilderness via
exclusive Princess Rail, or setting out into one of the state's awe inspiring National Parks, you can experience
it all with Princess in ways that will leave you changed forever. Princess is also the only cruise lines who
always honors our US and Canadian militaries with up to $250 onboard spending money, depending on the
cruise length, on every cruise.
Join me on Tuesday, Sept 22nd, in the VillageWalk Ballroom, to hear more about Princess and it's destinations,
especially Alaska in 2016. Time is 6:30pm for light refreshments and meet and greet, 7pm presentation will
begin followed by door prizes! Special offers for all attending as well! RSVP to [email protected] or
call me at 321-251-4777. I look forward to seeing you there!

Design Tips
Kitchen Islands!
Kitchen islands are a popular feature. A well-planned island layout can allow a smooth workflow and provide
a comfortable space for preparing and cooking food. Islands also provide space for dining, entertaining, working and
storage.
If you have a small kitchen, don’t assume that an island won’t be possible, or that you can’t include the options you
want. There are many possibilities for making an island work, even where space is limited. Kitchen designers can find
a cabinet maker that offers cabinets with a reduced depth to work in tight spaces.
Follow these tips to help you decide whether you have enough space to make an island work for you. And if you don’t,
discover what else you can try. When planning a kitchen, designers must consider factors such as how many people live
in the house and how they use the space. But most important is the size of the room.
Base cabinets along the wall will protrude into the room 25 inches. For comfort, and safety you need to have a minimum
of 3 feet and a maximum of 4 feet from the base wall cabinets and the island. This allows for traffic flow, efficiency
of use and the ability to open dishwashers, ovens, etc. Also consider the ease to pass between the stove, sink and
refrigerator. An island should not impede the traffic efficiency to be able to move freely between the triangle.
The size of the island is largely dependent on the space available in the kitchen. Navigating around an island can be a
chore if it’s too big. If you are set on a kitchen island but your space is just too small, there are various options. The
most dramatic is to rearrange your layout and open up the room to create more space. This might mean altering some of
the internal structure, such as taking a wall down to open the space, stealing a bit of real estate from another room, or
building an addition. Often, trade-offs have to be made in order to accommodate an island, like giving up wall cabinets
and forfeiting some storage. Decisions have to be made to determine if the island is worth the exchange.
Structural changes are not always feasible for every kitchen. So smaller-scale options might include the use of butcher
blocks, moving islands and trolleys — all great options when there’s no space for an island. Eye-catching in their own
right, these small islands can be extremely functional, offering extra storage space and work surface. They are also much
less costly than a fixed kitchen island.
A kitchen peninsula is another good option rather than a full island. The word peninsula comes from the Latin for
“almost an island,” and a kitchen peninsula shares most of the same appealing qualities as a kitchen island, but is fixed
at one end. Peninsulas are a practical and functional choice for small kitchens because, with one end fixed to a wall,
they take up less floor space. Because one end is attached to the wall, they require 3 feet less space on that end and
offer additional storage in the corner where attached.

Be Prepared for a Hurricane
Season ends November 30th
Tips to prepare before, during and after a hurricane.
Before a Hurricane
To prepare for a hurricane, you should take the following measures:
•To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications
plan.
•Know your surroundings.
•Learn the elevation level of your property and whether the land is flood-prone. This will help
you know how your property will be affected when storm surge or tidal flooding are forecasted.
•Identify levees and dams in your area and determine whether they pose a hazard to you.
•Learn community hurricane evacuation routes and how to find higher ground. Determine where
you would go and how you would get there if you needed to evacuate.
•Make plans to secure your property:
•Cover all of your home’s windows. Permanent storm shutters offer the best protection for
windows. A second option is to board up windows with 5/8” exterior grade or marine plywood,
cut to fit and ready to install. Another year-round option would be installation of laminated
glass with impact-resistant glazing. Tape does not prevent windows from breaking.
•Install straps or additional clips to securely fasten your roof to the frame structure. This will
reduce roof damage.
•Be sure trees and shrubs around your home are well trimmed so they are more wind resistant.
•Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts.
•Reinforce your garage doors; if wind enters a garage it can cause dangerous and expensive
structural damage.
•Plan to bring in all outdoor furniture, decorations, garbage cans and anything else that is not
tied down.
•Determine how and where to secure your boat.
•Install a generator for emergencies.
•If in a high-rise building, when high winds are present, be prepared to take shelter on a
lower floor because wind conditions increase with height, and in a small interior room without
windows. When flooding may be occuring, be prepared to take shelter on a floor safely above the
flooding and wave effects.
•Consider building a safe room.
Hurricanes cause heavy rains that can
cause extensive flood damage in coastal and
inland areas. Everyone is at risk and should
consider flood insurance protection. Flood
insurance is the only way to financially protect
your property or business from flood damage.
To learn more about your flooding risk and how
to protect yourself and your business, visit the
Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration
(NFIP) Website www.floodsmart.gov or call
1-800-427-2419.

MOVING DEEPER YOGA
A challenging Vinyasa Yoga class
for intermediate students, “Moving
Deeper Yoga” explores a series
of Yoga practice essentials that
build towards physical challenges
of strength, flexibility and balance.
Also key are guided breathing
and mind-body techniques to
help students tap into the internal
wisdom of the heart center. Before
attending “Moving Deeper Yoga”,
students should have basic Yoga
alignment knowledge or participate
in the Yoga Foundations class.
Let the party begin! Here’s a classic
dice game designed for anywhere
from 4 to 12 players. No matter how
many people are rolling, the point
is always the same: to roll a Bunco
(three consecutive rolls in which the
number currently in play appears).
The Bunco bell sounds, the fuzzy die
is passed, and the pace gets more
and more hectic. It’s simple, it’s fun,
and it’s a great excuse for a party.
Please RSVP & bring a dish to share.
