President’s Message – January 2014

The longer I live in the IOP the more I realize how distinctive our neighborhood is. Not because the homes look alike and the yards are perfectly manicured, but be- cause all the homes are unique. There are many different types of homes, gardens, manicured yards, yards left to nature and an abundance of trees. The IOP has so much nature surrounding our borders with the Isle of Pines Preserve and the lake. I feel as we are separated from the growth that has happened in many parts of Orlando that the IOP is very peaceful and relaxing place to live, like going camping but having all the comforts of home.

It has been a privilege to serve as a steward on the IOP board for many years. At the Annual Wine and Cheese event IOP members will vote the 2014 IOP board members into office. The first meeting in February, the IOP board will elect the executive board into office. Also the board will vote on bids and events for 2014 calendar year. This upcoming year the 2014 IOP board will look for events and opportunities to enhance our association for its members.
