No Print Delivery on Monday June 20th

Dear Victoria Palms Residents, Per WSJ, we will not receive a print paper on Monday, June 20th in observance of Juneteenth National Independence Day, a U.S. Federal Holiday. The print delivery will resume on Tuesday, June 21st. Thank you for your loyal readership, Victoria Palms Resort and The Wall Street Journal

Please be advised, police entered the resort at approximately 12:40pm while in pursuit of a criminal on foot. He jumped the fence near 3340 but was promptly captured within seconds and was removed from the resort.

Please be advised the USPS has still not delivered mail and packages today. This will affect sorting and availability of your mail and packages. Every effort will be made to have all packages sorted and ready as soon as possible… Please be patient with mail staff as they can’t sort what they don’t have.

Thank you for your patience while we await mail delivery.

Here are few pics of all the work that has been done so far… we hope you are as excited as we are for the final result! Please keep in mind the Activity Center is closed during this renovation.

Please be advised, the Activity Center will be closed this week and through the weekend due to the floor renovation. Much of the old flooring has already been pulled up. Please do not enter the building during this time as various chemicals and adhesives will be on the floor and workers will be laying tile during this process. The Activities Office will be completed sometime next week.

For those who are using the gym, access is still available via the exterior door.

Thank you for your patience while complete this major project…we hope you are pleased with the final result!

Major renovation underway!

Please be advised, the palm trees in the pool area will be trimmed next week on the morning of Monday, June 6th at approximately 8:30am. This typically only takes a day or two to complete. We do not recommend usage of the pool during this time, as falling palms and debris could be a safety hazard. Please also be cautious in the general vicinity of the pool during this time as well. The remainder of the palms in the resort will be trimmed in July.

Thank you for your patience while we complete this project.

Prep work has begun today for a major renovation project in the Activity Center Building. Most of the flooring will be replaced and the old flooring will be removed and replaced with new ceramic tile, with rich brown wood grain pattern. Here are the areas that will get new flooring, in the expected order that they will be completed:

• VP Restaurant (currently closed for the off season)
• Activity Lobby
• Library
• Both Activity Offices
• Large Card Room
• Small Card room
• Billiards Room
• Poker Room

The flooring in the Main Office lobby will also be replaced and will be mixed in during this process (dates TBD). The entire project is expected to take 6 – 8 weeks. The contractors will do their best to expedite this process, including working some weekends.

Please expect periodic closures of these areas over the course of this renovation. A roll-off dumpster will be placed in the parking lot during the course of this renovation and may be relocated as the project progresses – this is solely for usage by the contractors.

Below is an example of what the flooring will look like… very similar to what is currently in the Postal Center

Updates will be posted throughout the process. Thank you for you patience and we hope you enjoy the final product!

Electricity has been partially restored on the 2nd floor to the Craft Center and the building has been reopened temporarily. Please exercise caution when on the first floor, as it is still without power. We are working with a contractor to restore electricity on the first floor as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience while we work towards 100% restoration.

Friendly reminder, our usual Monday trash service will be postponed to Tuesday due to the Memorial Day holiday. Please do not put your trash out on Monday morning.

Also due to the holiday all offices, including the mailroom, will be closed. This will likely lead to very heavy mail delivery on Tuesday, so we ask for your patience while we catch up.
