The front page of the January 2006 edition of the echo included an article, by the then Board president, about the new (at the time) sign at the intersection of Cove Road and Bent Tree Drive.  Quoting from the article, “When the sun shines on it in the morning or late afternoon it is very elegant…New lighting fixtures are to be installed that will provide a better flood light on the sign at night…”.  According to the article, the Board budgeted $10,000 for the sign and the cost came in at $9958.  That did not include the landscaping, other than sod.  The article stated “The area around the sign has been sodded and this makes for easy maintenance.  Any additional landscaping done in the future will be kept low so it won’t block the view of the sign.”

Five years ago, during the spring of 2012, BTCI offered the inaugural Learning Tree class.  The purpose of Learning Tree is “to provide an educational forum for property owners to learn more about the community’s history and operations.”

The following information is straight from the notebook given to each class participant, and summarizes the relationship between the General Manager and the Board of Directors.

Over the weekend, many Bent Tree residents were surprised to see the sudden appearance of the towing sign shown in the photo above.  That particular sign was taken down Monday morning and a new sign (subdued design, same message) went up in its place (see photo at the end of this post).  A Bent Tree Bullet email bulletin went out to subscribers yesterday with the following explanation:
