"On behalf of Pine Lakes FMO  welcome  to our web page."

Ron Thoreson

A voice for all Pine Lakes homeowners

Fall 2021 Greetings! 

Especially to the over 130 new manufactured homeowners in Pine Lakes since just before the start of Covid.  And welcome back snowbirds and Canadians who will be able to travel here in November.

I am Ron Thoreson, your Federation of Manufactured Homeowners Association (FMO) Park Representative. 

Those of you who are new (and those who have been here a while) do you want information on what is happening in Pine Lakes?  

While our community monthly newsletter Whispering Pines provides a lot of information, I encourage all to take time to go to the Saturday Morning coffee social meetings at the Club House.  It starts around 7:30 and there are updates of what is happening all around our community and tickets for events, information of organizations and drawings for prizes.  

On The first Saturday of the month the Mens Club puts on a pancake eggs and sausage breakfast.  You will learn a lot of what goes on in and around our Paradise of a retirement community and meet your neighbors!

​

Attached here is a fall FMO newsletter.  Pine Lakes has many FMO members, currently 454, out of 866 homes in Pine Lakes (and thanks to the 32 new members who joined this year!) so this newsletter is geared to those who have recently joined our community.

Again Welcome! (back in many cases too!)

I, as your FMO Park Rep., am committed to being a messenger, providing timely information for your review, on updates surrounding Pine Lakes as such becomes available.

Watch this space!

NEWS & INFORMATION

Greetings Pine Lakes Homeowners.

​

As your new Federation of Manufactured Homeowners (FMO) representative, I, Ron Thoreson am determined to make it my goal to keep you informed of any and all issues you, as a manufactured home owner may need to know about. One way is to post on this website current issues surrounding FMO

​

For those of you who are members, I and FMO thank you.  For those who are not, I strongly encourage you to join with your neighbors in support of FMO as one of your manufactured homeowner’s advocacy, action and protection organizations.

*******************************

​

Please remember:  Without your support, there wouldn't be an FMO. 

​

Dues are only $25 annually - a mere $.48 cents per week.  For your $25, you have a lobbyist in Tallahassee, thousands of fellow mobile/manufactured home owners who watch out for each other, people who will train, advise, and supply your HOA with the many forms and information it needs to operate your park.

​

For your $25, you get the FMO News, the official member magazine of the FMO, six (6) times each year. Inside you find out about what is going on across the state that may affect you. For your $25, you have people who watch for changes in legislation that can hurt or help you. In short, for your $25 you have a whole organization of people who work behind the scenes to preserve your lifestyle. If the dues were $50 or even $75 a year, the FMO would still be a bargain.

​

Please consider joining the FMO so it can continue the great work it's doing for you!

To Join, go to www.fmo.org and click on the link on the left under the header of “Member Area Login” that says, Not a member yet? Click here to join.
