Mead w Pointe i INFO
Hellofrom theMeadow Pointe 1
CDD! Projects
Now that our new fitness center is complete, the Meadow Pointe (1) CDD is turning its sights on looking at even more improvements for our community. We have had several requests, and are currently looking into constructing a wall on the tennis courts behind the volleyball courts that can be used for both tennis and lacrosse practice.
ImProvIng the health of our Ponds
The Board of Supervisors has begun a program to make improvements to the community storm-water ponds in an effort to comply with federal and state water quality standards. The improvements will be phased in over the next several years. It is important to understand that the ponds are designed to treat and store storm-water runoff draining from the streets and lots, and that they are not natural lakes or ponds. Since the CDD owns these ponds, it is responsible for the quality of the water flowing into wetlands and other downstream water bodies. The main pollutants that exist in the ponds come from the pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers of both residential yards and CDD common areas. Residents and commercial lawn care services should be using eco friendly
products and procedures to comply with new state regulations.
The CDD will be planting aquatic plants (juncus effuses, cordgrass, pickerelweed, arrowhead, and water lilies) in the pond flat areas around the outfall structures and the pond perimeter. These plants will absorb some of the pollutants, as well as, help stabilize the pond slopes. The plantings will attract wildlife such as birds and fish.
Although fishing is permitted in the 2 ponds at Clubhouse 1 and at Pinedale Park, please remember, it is not recommended to swim or eat the fish caught from these ponds, due to the pollutants draining into the ponds.
fItness center grand oPenIng
The Grand Opening of the new fitness center was held on Saturday, March 27 during the Spring Community Fair. Pasco County Commissioner Pat Mulieri cut the ribbon with the CDD Board of Supervisors. The fair was a great success with lots of family activities and demonstrations as well as over 60 local vendors. A link to pictures of the event can be seen on our homepage at www.meadowpointecdd.com. picture: left to right: Lutfi Jadallah, Dennis Smith, Dawn Khalil, Pat Mulieri, Kelly Rodriguez, Keith Fisk, Pat Asklar, Dennis Costa.

Although the CDD Board normally meets the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month (in Clubhouse 1 at 6:30), this month, the second August meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 26. All residents are welcome.
cdd assessments
During the June 3, 2010 CDD Meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved a draft budget for FY 2011 (October 2010 - September 2011). For the third year in a row, the residential assessment will not increase. The final budget for FY 2011 will be adopted after a public hearing to be held on September 2nd at 6:30 pm in Clubhouse One. Property owners will receive the “Notice of Proposed Property Taxes and Proposed or Adopted Non-Ad Velorem Assessments” commonly referred to as the “TRIM” notice mid-August. Please note that the CDD assessment indicated on the TRIM is an estimate, however, the assessment cannot exceed the amount stated on the TRIM notice. Supervisor and current CDD chairman Dennis Smith has been instrumental in keeping the Meadow Pointe budget on track.

save those can tabs
Do your part for the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) and save those can tabs. Whether they’re from soda cans, soup cans, beer cans or tuna cans, they are worth money to the RMH. The tabs are recycled and the monies collected goes to RMH to help subsidize the cost of housing for those parents with children in the hospital. The money is also used to help purchase much needed equipment like wheelchairs, crutches and beds for the children.
Contact [email protected] for more information. They’ll also come to pick up your tab collection. Visit the following link to see how your contribution can make a difference: www.rmhctampabay.com/faqs.php#recycle.

knead healthY relaxatIon? there’s a massage or facIal In Your future
So you think you need to be kneaded. Congratulations. That’s the first step to recognizing the benefits of therapeutic massage.
Whether you overdo it at the gym, stress out over work or sit at the computer too long, that tense pain in your neck can be history if you get “kneaded” attention.
“Massage has the ability to restore mobility to the body,” said Bobbi Royak, Wesley Chapel’s Massage Envy franchise owner. “We know this from an academic point of view, and it is reinforced everyday when our members report successful results.”
Therapeutic massage, she said, is the manipulation of the muscles and tissues of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, and stress. There are many styles and types of massage therapy and, combined with a spa facial that promote healthier skin, the health benefits even more dramatic.
Massage Envy’s therapeutic facial treatments include anti-oxidant/anti-aging therapies based on a skin care program created by Dr. How-ard Murad, founder of Murad Medical Spa, who partnered with Massage Envy on its spa service.
Among Massage Envy’s massage therapy modalities are deep tissue, reflexology and Swedish massage.
Massage Envy’s newest location is in Wesley Chapel/New Tampa Area. This membership-based clinic opened recently in the Shoppes of Northwood Village, 1821 Bruce B Downs Blvd on the corner of BBD and SR 56. It’s the first Massage Envy in the Bay Area, to offer MURAD Signature spa facials along with massage. There are over 650 Massage Envy locations around the United States where members can visit. Intro-ductory massages are only $39 and intro facials only $49. Bobbi states, “ Our goal is to offer Professional, convenient and affordable massage and facials so that everyone can enjoy the health benefits and live a healthier lifestyle.”
Making an appointment Massage Envy’s $49 monthly membership includes a one-hour mas-
sage session with a professional massage therapist every month and un-limited one-hour sessions throughout the month for $39. The spa option offers a signature facial for an additional $10 per month. Non-member massages are $65 and non-member facials are $75. But introductory prices are offered for first time visitors. Gift cards and gift memberships are also available.
Wesley Chapel’s Massage Envy is open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Friday; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays. Appointments are available by calling 813-948-5600. For more info go to www.MassageEnvy.com

for most, motherhood is ar-guably the most important job there is. The challenges
are great, the rewards are many, but most of them are not financial. So, just what is motherhood worth on the open market?
Not so Minimum WageIn 2009 Salary.com attempted to answer that very question by poll-ing more than 12,000 mothers. Based on the tasks they perform and time allotted towards each the Salary.com’s online calculator esti-mated the salary of a mother at over $120,000 annually!
Uncovering a Disturbing FactAside from being a really fun tool, the Salary.com calculator uncovered a serious truth; it would be very ex-pensive to replace Mom. Certainly the emotional value of a mother is priceless, but if the unfortunate circumstances where Dad needed a nanny to perform the functions Mom once handled, the expense could be crippling. Yet, many wom-en who work within and outside the home remain uninsured.
Why Mom is Most Likely to be UninsuredStay at Home Moms are the most likely to be completely uninsured, due in part to the perception that life insurance protection is intend-ed to safeguard against lost wages versus lost “value.” In the event of Mom’s death, Dad would still need to work full time to support the family. Think what it would cost to
hire a full time nanny, chauffeur, tu-tor, cook, and personal assistant to run the household in his absence? The younger the children, the more expensive the help could be.
How Much Life Insurance is Needed?There are no hard and fast rules for determining how much life insurance is enough, because no two families have exactly the same needs or resources. As a general rule of thumb, the appropriate amount of insurance protection should equal individual’s annual salary multiplied by the number of years before the youngest child is out of college.
For example, you determine that the financial value of the services a stay-at-home spouse provides for your family equals $50,000 a year. If your youngest child will finish college in 15 years, the appropri-ate amount of insurance protection needed for the stay-at-home spouse would be approximately $750,000.In addition, you may consider in-cluding funeral costs, medical ex-penses, probate fees, estate taxes and inflation determining an insur-ance amount.
Don’t Wait. Do it Now!It’s true that the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets. You have many options depending on your needs. Please contact me so we can evaluate what is best for the protec-tion of your family. l

What is a Homemaker really worth?
the shocking truth!
Debbie Yoerg wins the Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce Honorary race!
The idea behind this race is not how many votes you receive, but how much each candidate raises for the charity of their choice. Debbie worked dili-gently and had the support of many in the community.
Her power team was right by her side all the way. Debbie’s #1 supporter and
team member is her husband, Richard.Big Brothers Big Sisters was Debbie’s charity. She and her team raised $5035.
Debbie says, “We did fundraisers throughout the community with local business’ who gave back a portion of their proceeds.” The fundraisers were held at: Wine Harvest, Texas Roadhouse, Shapes for Women, Dickey’s BBQ, Tijuana Flats & Hampton Inn (The Big Finale) “At the Big Finale I had MANY, MANY businesses who donated their services and products to support me. We had an auction and a silent auc-tion for many items.” “My role now is to attend ribbon cuttings, mixers, and to represent the chamber for the coming year.” “It was the TEAM of people who assisted me all the way. Together we did it. I am honored, blessed, and privileged to be surrounded by an amazing friends and community!” Remember Debbie’s slogan: Think Big & Dream! l

did you know that ALL of the runoff from your home, yard, and streets drain into the “lakes” and
wetlands throughout the community? These lakes are engineered stormwater management systems which are designed to treat and store (to prevent downstream flooding) this runoff. So, whatever you spread on your yard for treatment drains into these ponds.
Historically these ponds have contained poor water quality due to non compliance with the design standards and the over treatment of lawns. With new state and federal regulations being studied which will ultimately dictate water quality standards for the community, education programs and pond improvements are being implemented to attempt compliance with them.
It is important that residents understand that the ponds are not typically natural lakes or ponds, and the community will become responsible for the quality of the water flowing from the ponds into the
natural wetlands and other downstream water bodies. Residents should know that the major pollutants that come from lawns can be reduced and possibly replaced with more “green” forms of treatment. New “green” treatment options are evolving, so watch out for such products when you’re purchasing your lawn care products or discussing your options with your lawn care professional.
The installation of aquatic plants in the pond flat areas around the outfall structures and around the pond perimeter will absorb some of the pollutants, as well as, help stabilize the pond slopes. These plantings will also attract/promote wildlife such as birds and fish. Starting this summer, the MPIII CDD is embarking on a multi-year program to install specially selected plants in our ponds that will filter runoff, improving the overall water quality as well as making our ponds more attractive. So, enjoy your community ponds and remember that you can also help make a difference. l

BUSInESS InFORMATIOn:
our Very own MpiV Resident Makes the Cut!
new salon open in Wesley Chapel Bangs and Blondes, LLC is open for business as of July 6th. The salon is located at 5701 Gray Road, just off of State Road 54 between Boyette and Curley Roads under the green Ashre awning. It is housed in the structure that used to be the old Wesley Chapel post office. The building has undergone extensive renovation and now offers an upscale salon atmosphere with a down home appeal. Owners Joe and Arlene Andrews plan to of-fer clients outstanding professional service at a value price point between that commonly charged by franchised salons and high-end salons. Arlene Andrews has been a licensed cos-
metologist since 1977. She recently completed her first motion picture assignment for the principal cast of the film “For Such A Time”, by Tender Shoot Films. “Our goal is simple,” says Arlene. “We will strive to make our clients love the way they look. Once this is accomplished, the client can feel comfortable and confident in project-ing their most positive self.” All this is to be accomplished within a warm atmosphere that seems to echo the feeling of the salon in the movie “Steel Magnolias.” “I have always identi-fied with Dolly Parton’s character in that film” says Arlene. Visit the salon web site at www.bangsand-blondes.com or call for an appointment at (813) 994-2337
