Every year the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office puts on an event at the Port Charlotte Mall on Halloween night. They bring their cars, vans, equipment and many officers to give out candy to kids. This is always packed!

They are asking for donated candy for the event - they give our thousands of pounds!

Deputy Lou - our neighborhood watch officer - asked if the community would be able to donate some candy to the event. Liz Benson is willing to collect the candy at her house.

It would be great if we could have each neighbor donate a bag of candy to show Villa Milano support for all Deputy Lou does for us.

Review the community calendar to learn what is happening in the Villa Milano community

There is a need for 4 new members on our Villa Milano Compliance Committee. There is, also, a need for another member on our Architectural Review Board.

The board and committee leads are looking for one of these members to sit on both the ARB and Compliance Committees to facilitate communication.

This is a good opportunity for homeowners to be involved to gain information and help in decisions affecting the community.

If you would like more info on the work these committees are involved in or are willing to be a part of either of these committees use the Contact Us page and someone will get back with you.

A committee has been established to review and suggest revisions in the Association’s Declaration/Bylaws. It will be lead by Susan Ritter and Traci Creighton will be the board liaison.

The initial meeting will be on 10/9/2025 at 4:30pm and will take place at the pool area.

If anyone is interested in joining this committee contact Traci Creighton via the Contact Us page as they are looking for a good representation from the homeowners.

All Homeowners are welcome to come to the meeting to listen in on the discussion.

The contracts are being signed for work to begin on bringing our swale/ditch area back to permitted levels. Everyone will be receiving information about this process over the next few weeks.

The Board has been discussing this at meetings and Town Halls over the last few months. The work is required by the county and, if not done, will result in fines to the community. All homeowners will receive information on financing of this work and the special assessment that will be needed to compete needed repairs. The board will need your input quickly as we are under a deadline to complete this work.

If you need a way for a visitor to come through the gates after hours there is a way for the homeowner to send an individual QR code. The code will be shown by the visitor at the gate display. These are different than the gate codes used in the past as they are specific to the homeowner that developed the code and visitor coming in the gate. Click below for more information. These are developed through your CellGate application. For help in setting these up -Videos are available - send a request via the Contact Us page.

Concern noted during a Board meeting to have a reminder to residence when traveling in the community please follow the posted 15 MPH signs

There is a Neighborhood Watch meeting every 3rd Wednesday from 4 to 5 PM at the pool. It is lead by our representative from the CCSO, Deputy Lou and everyone is invited, and encouraged, to attend.

Please be mindful when parking on the street to ensure the safety of other vehicles and pedestrians. At our recent Board meeting, safety concerns were raised regarding visibility and access between parked cars. Limited visibility increases the risk of accidents involving people walking, cyclists, and children at play.

We kindly ask all residents and visitors to park considerately to help keep our community safe.
