WHAT'S WHAT AT Foxwood Farms

ORGANIZATIONS:

emergency. Volunteers are also needed to support the team members.
Park Watch - Members patrol the park checking on the welfare of the residents. Meets as needed to discuss Safety issues of the park. Volunteers are always needed.
FOXWOOD RESIDENTS, INC. (The Corporation) is a non-profit corporation under State of Florida Statutes, Chapter 723 governing mobile home parks. Its purpose is to speak for the homeowners in negotiations with the management and/or owners of the park. The Corporation is given a number of responsibilities under the statute, including under the appropriate circumstances, the bringing of suits against owners or managers on behalf of the residents. It also has the authority to sue for mediation. This is not a social organization-it is strictly a business endeavor.
The Corporation is required to meet at least once a year. It elects 7 board members for 3-year staggered terms. Every household is a member; however only members whose dues are paid may participate (vote) in the business of the Corporation. Dues (currently $10/household) are collected prior to the annual meeting held in February.
The Corporation does the monthly News Letter; printing paid for by management, listing monthly activities, club news, and management announcements.
