Weekend Weather & Events Update
Unfortunately, inclement weather is expected throughout the rest of the weekend. Chill by the Grill scheduled for this weekend will be postponed to June 10th. However, the weather won't stop the Gardens from having a wonderful Memorial Day program in the Magnolia Ballroom followed by the BBQ Cookout also in the Magnolia Ballroom. 
Advisory Committee Meeting
Over the past months, the Advisory Committee has received an increasing number of comments and concerns from residents regarding access to the Gardens and the Clubhouse by nonresident individuals. In response to these growing comments the Advisory Committee has been working on procedures to stop these unauthorized occurrences. In order to keep our residents in the loop there will be two meetings held. The first meeting will be on Wednesday, May 23rd at 7 p.m. in the Magnolia Ballroom and the second meeting on Friday, May 25th at 9:30 a.m. in the Multipurpose Room.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE THANK YOU

On behalf of the Advisory Committee, Environmental and Landscape AdHoc Committees, Howard Jeffries and myself, I would like to express our thanks for all the resident volunteers that donated their time and energy to pick up, plant and water the free trees that were offered by the City of DeLand and the DeLand Breakfast Rotary on Earth Day, Saturday April 21st. Also thanks to those residents, who were unable to volunteer, that completed the Tree Form and provided them to us for tree pick up. We would like to thank the volunteers by inviting them to a Thank You Luncheon get-together at 12:00 on June 2nd. Please e-mail me at papalenc@gmail.com if you can join us.

Thank You,

Leonard Cechowski
Chairperson Advisory Committee

Banquet Rentals
Banquet rentals are a part of the Victoria Gardens Clubhouse operating income. The generated income benefits the residents by helping to offset some of the homeowners association fees. The Clubhouse team tries to accommodate resident programs and activities as scheduled. However, there may be some adjustments to the location of the activity/fitness class etc. As those changes occur, we will keep you posted via the weekly newsletter so you can prepare properly.
