Holiday 2008 NewsletterDecember 3, 2008
Dear Friends and Neighbors,

We ask that you makeyour check out to: Gables Estates Club, Inc. ,you may drop your contribution off, in a sealed envelope, at either gatehouse or mail directly to Kathleen. The Board will be happy to make the distribution for you. This year there are fifteen (15) full time guards serving Gables Estates and one handyman . Each officer is listed on the back of this newsletter along with the time he has served at Gables Estates. Please do not give checks or money to an individual to distribute, other than Kathleen. Your contributions to the security staff will be logged in the Club’s ledger and dispersed to each employee based on his rank and time served with GablesEstates. Your contribution is greatly welcomed and appreciated. So Please remember your security staff this holiday season.
