From the President

Greetings Everyone,

I hope this finds you safe.  These certainly are trying times.  We have made many sacrifices but I believe that we care so much about each other we accepted them without hesitation.  Our generation not only is the most vulnerable but also the most willing to sacrifice for others.  As a result, Florida with its 21.5 million people has one of the lowest positive cases and death rate.

I have taken the initiative to write three of the largest community owners and one of our HOA Presidents has contacted the fourth.  We did not focus on the loss of amenities but the fact that we have been affected economically.  Some have lost jobs and most have seen their wealth reduced by 20 to 25%.

We pointed out that we are their customers and a list of other corporations who have offered their customers some form of economic relief. This is relatively new and as of this writing we have not had any feedback.

I have noticed that there seems to be no consensus nor cohesiveness within FMHA.  Some communities are opening their pools but the rules for doing so are all over the place.  Limiting the amount of people in the pool and cleaning at various times.  Larger communities are even rotating those who can use the pool. Normalcy is still so far away.

For those who are able, please consider how you can help someone else. Food banks, organizations that help with rents and caring for your neighbors are just a few ways we can pull through this together.  The greatest generation is mostly gone and the baton has been handed to us.  FMO is not just an organization, it is people who care.

Be safe,

Jerry Durham
