Crime Prevention Information!


What should do if you discover you have been a crime victim?
Often responding police officers discover that crime victims have mistakenly destroyed evidence which would be important in solving the crime, or have severely delayed reporting crimes,resulting in criminals getting away. We hope you will not suffer a crime or its effects, but if you do…
1) DO NOT GO IN if you come home to find a door or window broken or standing open on your home. Back away to a safe location and call 911 so officers can check the house to make sure the thief is not still there.
2) Call 911 IMMEDIATELY if you see ANY crime in progress, so officers can be dispatched quickly. (ex: finding a burglar in your home, seeing someone stealing from a car or property, crime of violence)
3) BOLT the DOOR. IF your business suffered an Armed Robbery and the robber has left, secure the door so he cannot return. Ask customers to remain since they are witnesses and additional victims. Do not allow any new customers in.
4) DO NOT CLEAN UP or straighten the mess. Whether it is a theft from your car, a burglary to your home or business, or an armed robbery at your business. Everything is important. Let officers see and record what was broken or turned over. There may be latent fingerprints, blood, etc, that can be processed and the scene needs to be documented for court.
5) Finally – Practice Prevention every day. Lock everything that can be locked, secure valuables from view, both in the car and at home. Keep records and photos of your valuables and their serial numbers.

Wentworth Hall

Dear Homeowners,



I want to thank everyone that was able to attend last night’s annual meeting. There was definitely some great discussion and it is always nice as a manager to get the temperature of the community. Here is some follow up on the meeting’s major topics:



- Financial statements- Individuals would like to see how their money is being spent. Attached is a copy of your 2012 budget summary, this will give you a good idea on how your money will be spent in 2012. If you would like to see a monthly income statement then please feel free to contact me, and I will be happy to meet and review these with you. Please remember that the expenses on the attached summary page are divided up by the total amount of homes (263) to come up with the annual assessment and Lennar subsidizes any short fall.

- Landscape- A couple of issues that were brought up last night were the front entrance rose bushes blocking the view as your leaving the community and vendors parking inappropriately (blocking lanes). These vendors have been notified and the bushes will be trimmed and maintained more appropriately starting next week. If at anytime you see these issues resurface please let me know immediately, so I can address them.

- Pool committee- The community does have a pool committee in place and will be meeting over the next couple of weeks to start putting together the final preparations for the upcoming pool season. This committee will be looking to establish rules and regulations to ensure that the members of the community have a safe and enjoyable pool season. If you are interested in serving on the pool committee please contact me via email, aaron@cmgcharleston.com.

- Social committee- Last night the idea was brought up that a social committee should be established to help the community plan some events (block party, holiday parties, etc.) If you have any interest in serving on this committee we are definitely looking for some volunteers. Again, please email me if you are interested and we will start establishing this committee.

- Developer items- Lennar is going to continue to try to find a way to establish a second construction entrance. Currently, all negotiations to establish this second entrance have failed.

- Speed bumps- with one entrance and a continued increase in traffic the community would like to look into establishing speed bumps in strategic areas to help protect the children.

- Playground- the community playground should be completed in the next 3-5 weeks. It will be located at the pool facility with in the pool fence.



Again, thank you for continued support and I look forward to serving you in 2012. Please remember you can find the governing documents, manager blog, and other association information at www.cmgcharleston.com .



If you have ever have any questions or concerns regarding any aspect of your Association please do not hesitate to contact me.
