SHOUTOUT – FRIDAY, 5/2/25 – SEALCOATING

Hello Whiting Station residents. Here’s another exciting message regarding the sealcoating project:

Before I get to the message, Mike, the Architectural and Common Grounds Trustee, and I want to thank every one of the residents who has helped to make this project go smoothly by making sure that they’re not parking in the work areas or driving in the freshly applied material. Bravo everyone!

The project is due to be concluded on Monday. Gardenia Drive, from Lily Court to Morning Glory Lane by the Clubhouse intersection, will be closed on Monday. Of course, this is all dependent upon the weather. We will get a message out as quickly as we know, if the planned work must be postponed due to weather.

 

SHOUTOUT – FRIDAY, 5/2/25 – BINGO TONIGHT

Hello Whiting Station residents and all you bingo people! Good news, bingo is on for tonight, Friday evening. However, you can only enter and exit the parking lot from the entrance adjacent to the Station Hall sign due to the sealcoating project. Also note that the ramp on the front side of the building is likewise closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Therefore, please use only the rear Ballroom door when entering the building.
If Deb Cassens told you bingo was canceled, she was just kidding! Honestly, plans have changed.
Hope to see you there and I hope you win big!

There will also be private party tomorrow evening in the Ballroom. The clubhouse will be open during the event; however, as a reminder, it is requested whenever there is a private party, please use the front lobby door to enter the building.

One additional item to all: The Residents Club is always taking donations of perishable, non-expired foods, household items, and personal items for the local food bank. If residents could remember to bring a food bank donation any time, we have an event or occasion to visit the clubhouse, we can really help make a difference for those in our area in need.

 

SHOUTOUT – WEDNESDAY 4/9/25 – TOWNSHIP BRUSH / STICKS PICK-UP

This is a friendly reminder that the Township is conducting a courtesy brush and/or sticks pick-up tomorrow, Thursday, April 10th. They will pick up any neat piles of sticks, garden debris, or small brush as outlined on page 16 of our April issue of The Express. Many of you may say, “Why waste my energy when Turfmasters will be Spring cleaning my lawn next Friday, April 18th?” You are absolutely correct; Turfmasters will be performing their Spring blow out of your garden beds and Spring clean-up next Friday. However, for those who have the stamina and drive to keep our community clean and safe, please take this opportunity to check your surrounding wooded areas and remove any piles of sticks that are either an eyesore or are a potential fire hazard. Sticks or small branches must be stacked in neat parallel piles and be less than 3 inches in diameter and no longer than 4 feet in length. No bushes with roots will be picked up. Any botanical refuse must be left in consolidated piles on our main roads, not on our fingers. Also, please do not park your cars near these piles tomorrow so the workers can see what needs to be picked up and can get to them.

Thank you for your attention and have a great day.

SHOUTOUT – SATURDAY 4/5/25 – POOL REPAIR SUNDAY NOISE

Hello Whiting Station residents. This message is on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Hopefully you’ve noticed the renovation of the pool is going along smoothly. This message is specifically to address the possibility that the contractors may be working tomorrow, April 6^th, on the pool.

As we all know, power tools are not to be used on a Sunday as per our regulations. If the weather cooperates, the contractor has requested to work tomorrow for half a day in order to keep on schedule for our pool opening. As such, the Board has approved this request. We thank you for your understanding.

SHOUTOUT – WEDNESDAY 3/26/25 – GARBAGE/RECYCLING

Hello Whiting Station residents.  This message is on behalf of the Board of Trustees.  We have had numerous windy days when recycling garbage has been blown all over the community because either the items were not in the proper recycling container or the container blew/fell over and the contents spilled out. When possible, please crush or cut up cardboard and place it into the recycling container.  Recycling services are provided by Manchester Township and you may place recyclables curbside the night before the scheduled day; however, if the weather is windy, please do not put out the container until the morning of the pickup, if possible, or weigh the container down which will keep it from falling over.  Additionally, if you see items on the street, please pick them up and dispose of them properly.

If you need additional clarification on trash and recycling, please refer to the Rules and Regulations provided to all homeowners in January; Chapter IV, Section 1-F.

Please be responsible and store all trash/recyclables properly, as we all want our community to look attractive even on garbage/recycling days.

Thank you.

 

SHOUTOUT – TUESDAY 3/25/25 – SPRINKLERS

Hello Whiting Station residents. This message is on behalf of the Irrigation Trustee.  Just a notification that our sprinkler company, Jersey Shore Lawn & Sprinkler, will be here over the next few days before the sprinkler system is turned on.  They will be testing and making any adjustments to your sprinkler system.  Please do not be alarmed if you see workers out on your lawn.

Thank you for your understanding.
