| GOOD NEIGHBOR RECOGNITION |
 Last month Ray noticed a large object floating passed his dock on the North Channel and immediately
thought what a potential danger and hazard it could be to neighbors’ boats and docks on the canal. Ray
jumped into action, hauling and securing the monstrosity to his dock while he endeavored to contact
local authorities to retrieve it and dispose of it safely. For days Ray tried unsuccessfully to get assistance
from sheriff ’s department, marine unit, fish & wildlife unit, and private haulers, but no one seemed able
to assist. Ray persevered though, refusing to release the object and potential danger back into the canal.
Then, just when all seemed hopeless, enter…
GOOD NEIGHBOR, ROGER ANDERSON of the Coast Guard Auxiliary
GHWA contacted Roger in an effort to see if he might be able to assist or point us in the right direction.
Roger responded immediately! He contacted Ray and made quick arrangements to assess the situation
and then followed through by personally teaming up with Ray to remove the object to safety.
Thanks to Ray and Roger for going above and beyond!

| Neighbor To Neighbor |
 
Woodlands' own Marisa Anfuso is part of Anclote Elementary School’s Odyssey of the Mind team. The
team is made up of 7 students in 4th and 5th grades.
“Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational
program that provides creative problem-solving oppor-
tunities for students from kindergarten through college.
Team members apply their creativity to solve problems
that range from building mechanical devices to present-
ing their own interpretation of literary classics. They
then bring their solutions to competition on the lo-
cal, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from
throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries
participate in the program.” www.odysseyofthemind.com
For the first time ever, Anclote’s team placed 2nd Place in the regional competition and has now gained a spot in
the Florida State Finals for a chance at going to World Competition.
The State competition requires a financial commitment of our Anclote students’ families for lodging and food for
the weekend of April 13 – 15, 2012. The competition rules state that our team may solicit donations and sponsor-
ships from local businesses, fund raising and family and friends. Since the State competition falls during Spring
Break and is held near UCF’s campus in Orlando, lodging expenses are not very competitive. Anclote Elementary
is a Title I school, where 75% of our students receive free or reduced priced lunches and this expense is difficult
for much of the team.
Therefore, a coffee can is set up in the Woodlands Office for any donations that you might spare. These students
have all worked very hard since October 2011 to get this far and could really use your help.
If you can make a donation, you may drop it off at the office. Donations will be accepted until Friday, April 6th. If
you wish to write a check, you may make the check payable to Anclote Elementary School. Thank you in advance
for helping these terrific children in their goals. Should you have any questions, please feel free to Tina
at 848-4750.
