Blog Update

For those few that actually read these postings, please note that we’ve had some problems processing and accessing comments from homeowners, so I’ve turned off the option to comment directly.  If you would like to pass on anything about these items or any other Sanctuary issue, please continue to use the email link on our contacts page or president@thesanctuaryhoa.org.  I’ll pass on everything submitted by posting them here (and, as always, will respond directly to all member emails).

Beat the Summer Heat at the Amenity Center

During these hot and steamy summer days, cool off with a family outing at the pool (bring along a guest) or get a refreshing workout in our fully air conditioned gym.

With enjoyment comes responsibility, however. We urge you to consider these important points:

  • Take all personal items with you when you leave
  • Place all unwanted trash containers
  • Close umbrellas and place chairs back around tables
  • Don't place loungers in walking areas around pool
  • Keep children off walls and out of landscape beds
  • Do not allow children to play with life preservers; they are only for emergencies

    Help us keep your center safe, clean and enjoyable for all.
