Fire prevention tips for your home!

Use Surge Protectors
This not only protects your appliances, it can also help prevent a fire. If something shorts out, the spark could potentially start a fire. Also, check your electrical cords for any fraying and cracking. Replace the cord if necessary.

Caution in the Kitchen
Move papers, bills and other flammable materials away from your kitchen stove. Kitchen fires can get out of hand in a hurry once they get started. Also, be careful when cooking anything with hot oils or grease. This is one of the most common causes of kitchen fires. Make sure you have a working fire extinguisher in your kitchen.

Candles and Incense
Unattended candles and incense burners are frequent fire starters in apartments. Never leave theses items unattended if you are burning them.

Don't Store Flammable Materials
If you have an extra gasoline can or a propane tank for a BBQ, don't store those in your apartment. This is a potential fire hazard, and it might even be a violation of your lease agreement.

Cigarettes
Unattended cigarettes are the number one cause of apartment fires. This makes it a tremendous health risk not only for yourself, but also for your neighbors if you set the building on fire.

From the Manager's corner...




I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!  We didn’t have much of a winter and now the flowers are blooming, the trees are turning green and the landscaping is becoming beautiful once again.  It’s definitely Spring time!  And what an amazing Spring event we had!!!  We had almost 300 people attend our Annual Eggstravaganza.  That is a record from years past.  We had almost 1200 eggs to hide and with so many people having an amazing time, we are so excited for our next resident event.  A huge thank you to all of our sponsors, Time Warner Cable and Sarpino’s sponsored the 40 pizzas that we had and Design Source Flooring, HD Supply, Action Glass, and Signature Landscaping donated all of the gift cards that many of our residents took home that day.  It was a good day!

Have you noticed our new online payment system?  You no longer have to go in and change the amount every month to include your water bill.  The system is set up to automatically withdraw the right amount.  How incredible is that?  If you haven’t already signed up or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact my office and we will be happy to help get you set up.

And B-I-N-G-O was his name… Oh!  DID YOU KNOW that we are giving away $50 a month just for playing BINGO.  If you need a card, please let us know.  We change the cards every month so make sure to get a new one.  The numbers are posted on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/thepreserveop and on our community website http://www.thepreserveop.com/.  

If you are not a FAN on Facebook – YOU SHOULD BE!  We use this as a tool to make special announcements and give away some free stuff.  AND it’s a lot of FUN too!

Have you met the new members of my staff?  Israel is the new Service Director who comes to us with many years of experience and knowledge.  We are working together for “Life Made Simple”.  Darcie is a new leasing consultant in the office.  Paul is a new groundskeeper/make ready tech and Joshua is a new groundskeeper/painter.  If you see them on the property, please say Hello.

And last but not least, THE POOL.  We are working diligently to get the pool open early but do not have an exact date as of yet.  So stay tuned and we will let you know on Facebook as soon as we have a date.
If you ever have any issues, or if I can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call me.  Or since you are already on your computer reading this blog, you email me at preserve@fogelman-properties.com. 

Thanks for coming home with us!
