News within Zeniamar 10
This Newsletter will mainly be about me writing this but also a little about what has happened and what is happening here in Zeniamar 10 and Orihuela Costa.
In May of this year, I received a request from your president Gilles if I had the opportunity to help with Zeniamar 10 when for various reasons he could not continue with the role as president. We are both of the opinion that it is extra advantageous to have a president who is resident here in order to be able to take part in both large and small for continued development for the best for all the owners. Another reason is that both communities have the same suppliers and that Zeniamar 10 has 33% usage rights to the Social club and gym in Zeniamar 9.
Who am I?
I started my new assignment as acting or assistant president and my name is Christina Berardi, I am Swedish, President of Zeniamar 9 for about 9 years and have lived here permanently for 10 years.
My main interests are gardening, music and family. I do various voluntary work within Caritas (the Catholic Church), am president of Rotary Punta Prima International and Pedaneo, voluntary work under the mayor of Orihuela, where I am responsible for Punta Prima, Cinuelica, Horizonte and Zeniamar which means close contact with the municipality and the local police to implement social improvements for everyone.
When I came here I spoke no Spanish but over the years I have learned to have simple conversations which is important in communicating with other people and also out of respect for Spain. I do not want to live a segregated life but to be part of Spanish life.
What have I started with
I have walked around and tried to familiarize myself with both the urbanization, i.e. where are the electricity and water cabinets, how are the numbering of the properties to be able to find them quickly, etc.
I have also updated your instructions which I hope to be able to put up on your notice board shortly. In the meantime, there is information on how you can reach me.
For natural reasons, I have had several personal contacts with the handover of a key as Zeniamar 9 has now changed the locks on all gates. The new key goes to all of Zeniamar 9's gates. For those of you who have not yet signed your key, you can still contact me via email or WhatsApp, see below.
Spanish weather right now
After a somewhat cold and rainy spring, summer is coming in earnest! It became very hot at once both during the days and at night. Daytime temperatures are around 30 - 32 degrees, but this weekend it will rise to 35 degrees and possibly a little more. The sea temperature is very high at most, about 30 degrees, just like in the pool right now, about 30-32 degrees.
Garbage management in Orihuela Costa
We all agree that this has not been handled to our satisfaction, but now about 1,000 new garbage containers have been purchased, gray for household waste, yellow for plastic and metal and green for glass. In addition, new garbage trucks, cleaning machines, etc. have been purchased.
It is important that we sort and throw our garbage in the designated containers and absolutely not on the street or sidewalk. If you have mold or other large bulky waste that you want to get rid of, you should contact the municipality. It is also okay to contact me with information about the date, time and street that these are placed.
Chemicals and other waste that may not be thrown away The garbage containers can be stored in the Eqovagnen that is set up on Calle Pintor Ribera near the market street on Saturdays.
Let's help keep our garbage containers clean, tidy and tidy to avoid sanitary problems.

To avoid having to verify your email every time, we recommend not closing the Nearkey app when it is not in use.
