NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED<br />
IN THE POOL AREA<br />
Come on Residents. We all know alcohol<br />
and/or glass containers are not allowed<br />
in the pool area. I hate to say this but<br />
people have already, this year, broken<br />
the rules! If you haven’t read the deed<br />
restrictions, it’s posted all over the pool<br />
area. Let’s keep everyone safe and follow<br />
the rules.<br />
PRECINCT 4 VACATION WATCH<br />
When you prepare for those summer trips, don’t forget to complete the Precinct<br />
4 Vacation Watch form to let them know you will not be home. They make extra<br />
trips by your home and look around to ensure all is safe and secure. Use the<br />
following link for the form: Vacation Watch Request (constablepct4.com).<br />
LET’S KEEP FIT!<br />
Our HOA is footing the bill for us to stay fit.<br />
Our instructor, Angel, will lead us in exercising every Friday. Bring your<br />
drinking water and an exercise mat. Again, a great way to meet your<br />
neighbors, stay fit and have fun.<br />
Adults Only, Male and Female | 10-11 AM<br />
The <strong>Sydney</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> Clubhouse<br />
LET’S SAY THANK YOU TO THE HOA!<br />
HOW FUN IS THIS!<br />
<strong>Sydney</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> started water aerobics again. Our new instructor, Angel, is<br />
great! We had so much fun during our first week. It’s open to all adults, male<br />
and female. Come join us. Great way to meet neighbors, stay in shape and<br />
have fun. Bring your drinking water and a water noodle.<br />
Tuesday & Thursday: 10 AM-11 AM<br />

FLY A FLAG IN YOUR YARD<br />
Have you noticed all the beautiful flags flying in neighbor’s yards on holidays?<br />
These are courtesy of Cy-Woods High School. This is their way of raising<br />
money for band activities. Would you like to have one in your yard to help our<br />
students and show patriotism? Here’s a link to their website with information<br />
to help you get started flags@cywoodsband.org. They will deliver the flag,<br />
install it in your yard and pick up and store it when the holiday is over. And, it’s<br />
a great way at little expense ($40 per year) to help. The holidays are President’s<br />
Day, Memorial Day, 4 th of <strong>July</strong>, Labor Day/Patriot Day, Veterans Day.<br />

Fried Chicken<br />
You could make this on National Fried Chicken Day <strong>July</strong> 6th!<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
2 to 3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces<br />
3 cups all-purpose flour<br />
5 tbsp. seasoned salt<br />
3 tbsp. garlic powder<br />
Salt and pepper to taste<br />
4 eggs, beaten<br />
Vegetable oil for frying<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt<br />
and pepper. Roll or shake the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and place<br />
on a platter. Then dip each chicken piece in the egg and roll again in flour<br />
mixture.<br />
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry<br />
coated chicken pieces in hot oil for about 5 minutes on each side. Cover<br />
skillet and cook on lower heat for about 10 minutes. Remove cover, turn<br />
up heat and fry for 5 minutes on each side to make chicken crispy. Chicken<br />
is done when it is no longer pink inside and its juices run clear. Drain fried<br />
chicken on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.<br />

2/3 cup chocolate syrup<br />
2 cups heavy cream<br />

JULY IS NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH<br />
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated <strong>July</strong> as National Ice Cream<br />
Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day.<br />
He recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by<br />
over 90 percent of the nation’s population. In the proclamation, President<br />
Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events<br />
with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” The International Ice Cream<br />
Association (IICA) encourages retailers and consumers to celebrate<br />
<strong>July</strong> as National Ice Cream Month. About 10.3 percent of all the milk<br />
produced by U.S. dairy farmers is used to produce ice cream, contributing<br />
significantly to the economic well-being of the nation’s dairy industry.<br />
