In addition to these items we have kept a regular cleaning schedule of the building. LA Pools has been the best this summer. Security has stepped up to the plate and kept Sugar Beach safe for all guests and owners. Owner parking permits was a smooth changeover. Thanks to Gale Manlove and Rapid Repair for pulling us out of some tight spots. Also thanks to Pat with LA Pools and Fred helping with maintenance. Jim Allen watches over the building day and night and also responds to the needs of guests and owners. I have made it a point to be on the property one hour early every day for the past two months. I walk the parking area and halls, first thing, getting trash up to help out LA Pools. This also gives me the chance to look for leaks and see what needs to be done before I meet with them at 9:00 am . I keep up to date info of events in the elevators. Made a new Owners' corner where info is posted. Welcomed two new owners to Sugar Beach. Assisted in parties and weddings that were held here. I have tried to bring color in the way of flowers and plants. Put in some landscaping around the grills. Respond to owners and guests by phone and e-mails. Making the weekly deposits and running all the errands for special supplies and everyday stuff. Rescued two baby doves and a bucket of ghost crabs, but was too late on the bucket of hidden hermit crabs. Sugar Beach has never looked better. Owners have a great team in place. Strong, detail-oriented people with good work ethics are hard to find. Sugar Beach is beaming with pride and our neighbors, guests, owners, vendors and real estate partners notice. I am proud to be part of Sugar Beach .
