It’s that time of year filled with positive cheer when we may have more guests than normal to entertain. A frustrating delay at the entrance of our gated community could spoil the festive mood. To minimize conflict and expedite guests to our homes, we urge everyone to ensure that their guest lists on the Dwelling Live System are current. For a large gathering, a party list should be delivered to the office several business days before the event. For a last minute “add-on,” our gate officer will work with you and help with revisions.
Do Them a Favor
Before guests and service providers arrive, be sure they know your name and address. Also tell them the location of the appropriate gate to gain access to our community. GPS will often direct them to the Selva or Cabrillo gate. Here, many of the drivers fail to read the signs, and attempt to tailgate a resident vehicle into the community. In almost every case the arm comes down and the spikes come up as designed. The result is normally a couple of flattened tires and sometimes car body damage.
Vacation Checks
When away for several days or more, some folks request the local law enforcement agency to conduct periodic inspections of their residence to discourage criminal activity. Not every agency offers this extra police patrol, and our gate personnel are limited as to what they can do along this line. However, our Dana Point Police Services have people especially trained for it. Should you wish to use this police assistance, phone Dana Point Police Service at (949) 248-3531.
It’s that time of year to say, “Nollaig Shona.”
