                                              President’s Message





                                                     e wish we could say the Coronavirus was nothing but a bad April Fool's joke,
                                              Wbut the nasty virus has upended many of our plans for the moment.
                                              In this issue, we were to report on the special meetings scheduled with Broward
                                              County Sheriff Tony, 17th Street Mobility Working Group, South Ocean Bridge
                                              Replacement, HBPHOA's Restoration of the Covenants Committee, as well as the
                                              newly formed committees addressing Sylvan Lake Anchoring and neighborhood Tree
                                              and Landscape, both ready to launch. All of those committees’ missions and issues
                                              continue and, in lieu of physically meeting, will avail themselves of technology and
                                              host ZOOM meetings to carry on.
                                              We were excited to share neighbors’ photos from the HBHPHOA and Harbor Beach
                                              Surf Club Sunday Fun-Day Beach BBQ scheduled for March 22. Sadly, the event was
                                              also a casualty of the Coronavirus. A little rain was worrisome; the pandemic forced
                                              a total washout. As soon as the CDC tells us it is safe to get together again, we will
                                              reschedule it and get the word out.
                                              The CDC tells us that the COVID-19 virus is susceptible to heat. Mother Nature
                    Annette Ross              continues to bless us with an abundance of warm sunshine and beautiful weather, so
                      President
                                              get outside. Take a walk or walk the dog and be sure to greet your neighbors from
                                              six (6) feet away.
                 Harbor Beach Property
              Homeowners Association, Inc.    In closing, we wish to thank Mayor Dean Trantalis and our own Commissioner Ben
                   1322 SE 17th Street        Sorensen for taking what was, at the time, the unpopular action in ordering our citizens
              Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316
                    954-462-6428d             to socially isolate and shut unessential businesses down. Their decisive and early action
                    954-401-2007c             very likely slowed the spread of the virus and protected the health and lives and of us

                                              all. We are very grateful and will continue to get the city's updates out to our residents.
                                              A few last words to our friends and neighbors during this difficult time we find ourselves in.
