Dear Residents,
I don’t know about you, but I love this time of year. The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and I can spend more time outdoors.
Additionally, I want to send my heartfelt thank you to the Orange County Fire Rescue Department, the Department of Health, and all the Fairways volunteers for helping give much-needed COVID-19 vaccines to our residents. The first round of Pfizer vaccines were administered on January 25 and 26, followed by the second round of vaccines on February 22 and 23. There was a lot of hard work that went into organizing and planning this event, so a huge thank you goes out to all involved and to our residents who showed up with smiles, appreciating that the vaccines were available to them.
Sincerely,
Priscilla
Community Manager

We have started 2021 with a multitude of improvement projects for the Fairways. To hear what has been completed, and what projects are in the works, keep reading!
We have started 2021 with a multitude of improvement projects for Fairways. In mid-March, we completed the installation of new water meters under each home. These new meters will send readings of water usage and potential problems regularly. We will be able to closely monitor any anomalies and inform the resident of excessive water usage so they can look for the cause before a bigger problem may occur.
We have also completed upgrades to the Westchester pool. We resurfaced it, installed some new coping, and installed new depth markers that are more visible. This is the third and last pool that has been resurfaced over the last few years. Now all three Fairways pools are shining brightly.
We have installed new pool furniture at the Masters pool just in time for the summer season. Some other upcoming projects include additional lighting and a new fence at the RV compound. Hometown will also soon be installing a new beautiful fountain in the lake by the tennis courts.
Don’t forget about our trade-in/trade-up program! If you have Data Comp appraise your home, we will give you 70% of the appraisal value and you only pay sales tax on the difference - never commissions. We then take your home into inventory and you live in a brand-new, warrantied home. We’ll also reimburse you for the appraisal fee. To learn more, contact the Fairways sales team.

It’s always good to try new things, and we have an amazing local grocer for you to try if you’re looking to mix things up. It’s called Cavallari’s Gourmet Market, and from the variety of food to the friendliness of the staff, we can’t say enough good things about it! Read on for the full review.
Do you love Italian food as much as I do? If so, you must try Cavallari’s Gourmet Market at 1954 W. State Road 426 in Oviedo. Cavallari’s is a locally owned gourmet grocer and specialty market. They offer fresh sandwiches, an endless selection of sausages, pre-packaged meals, and a beautiful selection of gourmet jams, sauces, seasonings, wine, and beer. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. It’s a dream shop for foodies and home chefs. I’m hooked, and I promise you will be too!
Happy eating!

In this issue, we’re highlighting Edward Dammer, an amazing resident here at the Fairways who just celebrated his hundredth birthday! Read on to learn more about him, and be sure to wave hello if you see him around the neighborhood!
Congratulations to Edward Dammer, a resident here at the Fairways who turned 100 years young on February 8. Ed was born in New York City where he owned and operated his own heating, plumbing, and air conditioning business. He is also a WWII Navy Veteran who served nineteen years, nine months, and nine days.
As a resident since January 1994, his daughter reached out to Fairways to help celebrate her father’s birthday and our fabulous volunteers took it from there. Ed received 100 birthday cards from residents, each with one dollar inside, and 100 cupcakes. Ed also had a golf cart parade go by his house with 52 resident golf carts lead by a salute from the Orange County Fire Rescue Station 80 Fire Truck. It’s safe to say, Ed enjoyed every minute of his celebration.
Happy Birthday, Ed!
As L. Frank Baum says, “the road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick”, and we’re taking that to mean improving your personal palace starts with accents of yellow! Brighten up a room with this happy color through accents like picture frames or throw pillows, or even go bold with an area rug or couch. With all these ideas, there’s sure to be something you love.
We’d like to thank the following residents for making improvements to their homes and yards. Thank you, Robert and Shelia Rodier, Elizabeth Bell, Susan Rueda, James and Myrtle Mattson, and Robert and Patricia Sevigny. It’s so nice to see fresh flowers, fresh mulch, and our residents getting outside in the fresh air.

On Super Bowl Sunday, many Fairways residents came out to a socially-distanced, drive-in Super Bowl watch party. Reminiscent of the old drive-in days, residents came out to the Masters to watch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers destroy the Kansas City Chiefs on our blowup movie screen. Thank you to all that made this fun event happen and thanks to those who came out to enjoy the fun and watch the Super Bowl in their golf carts.

Speaking of sweet treats, Hometown America also brought an ice cream truck to Fairways with wonderful soft serve ice cream for all residents. We hope everyone enjoyed it!

The days of peanut butter reigning as the sandwich spread champion are over as new alternatives step up to the plate. While it can seem impossible to keep track of all the different health benefits, we’re here with the ultimate guide to finding the nut butter best for your lifestyle - from flavor to protein content.
While classic peanut butter remains a good option for protein, other types of nut butter may be best for your diet depending on what you want more of. For example:
If none of those sound like your cup of tea, there are easy homemade options that can help reduce preservatives, and you can use your favorite type of nut! All you have to do is roast your choice of raw nuts in the oven, seasoned or plain, and then blend them until smooth for creamy, fresh nut butter. The only question left is, which one will you choose?
There are plenty of guides out there telling you how to save money with coupons, but what if you didn’t need them? Paper coupons are a hassle to cut and easy to forget, and online coupons can be difficult to find and use. With these tips, you can start saving money on your weekly shopping in no time.
There are plenty of guides out there to show you how to save money with coupons, but what if you didn’t need them? Paper coupons are a hassle to cut and easy to forget, and online coupons can be difficult to find and use. With these tips, you can start saving money on your weekly shopping in no time.
There are two strategies for saving money on groceries. The first strategy revolves around planning before you even step into the store. Methods for doing this can include tracking your family’s most expensive items, and then learning which stores have them on sale. Many stores have cyclical sales, so buying these big-ticket items in bulk when they’re marked down can save you big time in the long run. Also, even though you may feel loyal to your usual grocery store, it may be worth it to price check other stores, or even discount grocers, for better deals.
The other strategy is how to use the groceries you buy most effectively to prevent waste and unnecessary spending. Buying in bulk is great in theory, but without planning it can lead to even more wasted money than before. Try freezing and dating things like meat, produce, and bread, or buying things in bulk that last longer like eggs, coffee, and snacks.
If you’re sick of spending time looking for coupons only to find you’re not saving money, these strategies are great options - happy shopping!
