Our volunteers..


This community could not exist without the volunteers that give their time to events. Our volunteers help with the planning, decorating, preparing food, serving, selling tickets, and cleanup. We are not talking about just the HOA events; all clubs have meetings and/or events that have their own volunteers. They give their time and energy to make this community into a community that we can all be proud of. No matter how little or how much a volunteer does it is all appreciated, because without their incredible support events would not be able to be held.
 
So we would like to extend a big thank you to all our volunteers…

. DouHello, a

 …….

nd greetings from the Mid-Florida Lakes HOA board!

Do you have a park issue you want addressed?


As a result of feedback during a recent general meeting, the board feels the need to reiterate what we as the board can and can’t do when working directly with ELS. The main item we can do is negotiate rent increases with ELS. We can also help with concerns that you have with the happenings in the community. We can only help if you (the resident) follow a few guidelines. First, a concern report must be filed with ELS at the front office, the report must be stamped with the date, and two (2) copies of the report must be made. One (1) copy is for the HOA (a date stamped copy), and one (1) is for your records. The HOA needs a date stamped copy to show that it has been given to ELS and that they acknowledge that they've received it.


The report must be as detailed as possible containing specific information (license plate number or description, for example) about the incident or concern. Pictures are the best, if possible, and date and time of the pictures would help to elevate any doubts about when the pictures were taken. Please write legibly or print so the board knows the exact concern.


When no action has been taken or the residents are not satisfied with the result of the concern, there is the next step and that is in the Nelson Procedure. The Nelson Procedure is the official protocol set up by ELS to handle resident complaints and tells you how to send the concern to Tampa (the ELS regional HQ) and on up the hierarchy of the company. There is more detailed information on the website about the Nelson Procedure. Just click the link at the end of this page.


We as the board of directors have no power to force ELS to act, all we can do is act on your behalf after these steps are followed, bring up the concerns and make sure they are aware of the concerns. We are your sounding board to ELS.


Thank you for your understanding.

September 2026 Message from the HOA Board;


Greetings from the HOA Board!


As we head into Fall the snowbirds will soon return to the park to enjoy the cooler weather
along with the residents who stayed and basked in the Summer heat. Please welcome them back with open arms just like you always do and please inform them of any changes in our community while they were gone. As just one example of this, make sure that they’re aware of the changes in our garbage pickup policy. It’s possible that they don’t know and we don’t want them to find out the hard way.

Our website has a lot of information about the happenings in our community and we try to
keep that updated on a regular and ongoing basis. If you haven’t visited the website lately, we encourage you to check it out. We’re continuously adding to it and we want you to have
confidence that you can trust the information provided in it.

Since we’re entering the Fall season, it’s not too early to talk about the upcoming HOA Board elections.

There will be five (5) seats opening for positions on the HOA board of directors.
Nominations are due and will be closed to additional candidates at the HOA general meeting in November.

There are several qualifications to be met to be able to run for the board:

-You must be a member of good standing in the HOA, meaning that your dues have been paid.


-You must submit a resume to the election committee, and you will be interviewed by a person who is on the election committee.

government documents and procedures (Florida Statute 723.0781)


Nominations will be closed at the November 2nd general meeting. There will be a ‘Meet the
