Please remind your guest and family members and slow down when you enter the complex. For the safety of all residents and guests, the speed limit within SummerWind is 10 M.P.H.! Be slow and Be safe!

Please use the park in the complex or Wilson Park on Crenshaw.

Reminder: If you have the roll up garage, please remember to hose off the garage door at least once a month. -

The amount of energy saved in a year by more efficient refrigerator usage could be enough to light every house in the United States for more than four and a half months straight.
