Tanglewood Master Activities Committee Tom McKeever 863-385-7316 Many of the committee activities are maintained and governed by all residents under the organization known as Tanglewood Master Activities Committee or “TMAC” for short. TMAC is made up of various committees; each one being responsible for its own activity and reports once a month to TMAC and members of the community. Our major committee sign up is in mid-January to mid-February, but most of the committees welcome new members throughout the year. If you are interested in learning more about a particular committee and/or want to join their group, please contact them using this list. All committees are run by volunteers so without a steady influx of new members, the numerous activities will disappear. Remember the best way to get to know people is to become an active volunteer!

Used Sharps Disposal Program Highlands County has this program available. Used needles and other sharps aredangerous to people and pets, if not disposed of properly. They can injure and spread infections that cause serious health conditions. Self-inject medications are used for treating a wide range of conditions, including diabetes, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, migraines, cancer, kidney disease, and psoriasis. In addition residents at home administer blood thinners, growth hormones, vitamin B-12, and allergy shots. Residents and visitors to Tanglewood who self-inject medications or use disposable lancets to test their blood sugar need to know how to safely dispose of these sharps. Too many times these are thrown in the trash, creating significant health risks to our HTA staff, neighbors, pets and sanitation workers. This program is provided free of charge to Highlands County residents and visitors who must administer injections or perform blood tests in their homes or RV’s. Residents participating in this program will receive a free sharps container for the safe disposal of their sharps. These containers are designed to contain sharps and are like the containers used at the hospital, doctors office and other health care providers. When the container reaches the full mark you will be given instructions to safely lock and label the container and then you can take the container back for safe disposal by a certified company which specializes in this type of waste disposal.
