2014 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

The dues for 2014 has been set at $650, representing no increase from the prior year. Billing notices will be mailed in late November/early December so if you do not receive your statement by December 10, 2013, please contact management immediately. Homeowners are welcome to begin paying partial amounts toward your assessment to lessen the burden of paying the amount all at once. You can log on to the website and pay using your checking account (free) or a credit card (plus convenience fee). The “Pay Assessment” feature can be found in the Resident Services section of the website. You will need your homeowner account number to make online payments and can obtain your number through the website as well by using the “Check Your Account” feature in the Resident Services section of the site. If you have not registered on the website, please do so by logging on to www.highsierramanagement.com and selecting “Association Websites” in the top right hand corner and then follow the prompts. The 2014 Approved budget will be added to the website in late December for your review.

SECURITY REMINDERS

As a reminder and because we have received reports of recent criminal activity involving theft of vehicle tires, please report any and all suspicious persons or vehicles in the community immediately to the Constable’s office to help deter further crime in the area at 281-463-6666. Please also consider the following helpful tips: • activate car alarms • remove personal belongings from vehicles • install driveway motion sensor lighting on the front of your house • install wheel locks on expensive rims or tires • try to park in your driveway or in your garage as much as possible

Winter Pet Wellness Fair

on Saturday January 11th, 2014

We are sure you have noticed the continual damage along the sides of the esplanade at the West Rd. and Telge Rd. entry. We want to make everyone aware that the Association is not ignoring the damage and is working toward a resolution through the County Road and Bridge Department. We have not yet made repairs because we have been pursuing Harris County to make adjustments to either traffic or the esplanade to deter additional expenses caused by the continual damage from commercial trucks. We ask for your continued patience in this endeavor and reiterate that the issue is very important to us at this time and we will continue working toward an improvement.

CONSTABLE PATROL

As a reminder, the Association has a patrol contract through Harris County Precinct 5 Constable. We share 40 hours of patrol per week at random time with Aberdeen Green HOA. Please add the following dispatch number to your cell phones or post in a visible place at home in case you need support in a non life-threatening situation. Their non-emergency dispatch number is 281-463-6666. The Constable Patrol also offers a free vacation watch service. Log on to their website at www.co.harris.tx.us/pct5/forms.aspx to obtain a form and learn more about the program.

LOITERING AND VANDALISM

Please help us to keep our recreation areas safe and clean by reporting any and all loitering after dark directly to the Constable and then to management. Please also remember to report any suspicious persons walking around the community or at the parks immediately to the Constable Patrol non-emergency dispatch number at 281463-6666. Better safe than sorry!

PET POLICY AND ETIQUETTE

We understand your pets are very important to you and want to be a pet friendly community. However, we have received many complaints that there are pet owners not following the rules of the community when it comes to pet etiquette. Please, be aware and make a conscious effort to the adhere to the following guidelines:

• Fertilize established trees, spring-blooming shrubs, spurias and sweet peas (after they are a foot tall) with a fertilizer such as 13-1313; Louisiana iris with cotton seed meal and manure.

• Only two pets per household - refer to governing documents regarding height and weight limits. • Pick up pet waste and discard properly. • Do not allow pets to roam around the community unrestrained - it’s the law! This includes cats too! • Do not allow dogs to bark continuously disturbing neighbors.

• Last month to plant early blossoming spring bulbs, speciosum and other varieties of lilies. Mulch.

ACC INFORMATION

As a reminder, all exterior changes or addition to your home MUST be applied for and approved by the Aberdeen Green Homeowners Association prior to performing. You can find the home improvement guidelines and application on the Association website at www. highsierramanagement.com.

• Azaleas and camellias may be moved now. Keep moist to lesson cold weather damage. May acidify again.

• Water plants well before a freeze; dry roots are easily damaged. • Don’t forget to provide food and fresh water for birds. More birds die from lack of water than lack of food.

TRASH DAYS

The trash days for Aberdeen Green are Monday and Thursday. Contact WCA Waste at 281-368-8397 if you have any issues or questions regarding trash pick up.

GARDENING TIPS FOR DECEMBER

• If a long flowering period is desired, pansies should be placed in their permanent beds not later than this month. Fertilize monthly with manure, super-phosphate or a liquid high-phosphate product. Keep flowers picked for more bloom.

CFISD CELEBRATES 75 YEARS

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD was consolidated on Dec. 9, 1939, which means our 75th Anniversary is around the corner. The actual anniversary date is Dec. 9, 2014 and various projects are currently underway to make it a memorable 2014 - 2015 school year. Details are now available on the CFISD website at www.cfisd.net/75. The first event of the celebration will be a Diamond Jamboree at the Berry Center in August, 2014. During this event, we will identify 75 honorees and we need your help. The anniversary honoree designation committee is looking for people or families who have significantly impacted the CFISD community and district during the last 75 years. We want to particularly identify those that have truly captured the anniversary philosophy: “Our children. Our schools. Our community.” Please consider submitting a nomination and review the attached application. For more information on the anniversary, email 75th@ cfisd.net.

CYPRESS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR

Deidre Douglas and Matthew Perez did and outstanding job again as our Fall Concert brought the crowd to their feet! All the choirs were fantastic in presentation and sound. Always a delight! Our Italian dinner theatre was a delightful success!!! The 29th of October brought a lifting up of solo performances and resounding choral arrangements that delighted all ages. Thanks to Truitt Middle School and Labay Middle School for joining our choir in their favorite fundraising venture of the school year. Diana Johnson and Laura Rooney manned the reins of this event and ran the silent auction like pros! The varied selection and beautiful baskets were plentiful and well received. Various vendors such as Pampered Chef, Academy Sports, Mr. Lavin and others donated items and cards. Themed baskets such as Movie night, dogs, car care and self pampering were a big hit! Heartfelt gratitude goes out to all our wonderful fans in the community that envelope our young men and women in their helpful and generous arms. Thanks to our booster club president, Hilary Bracher for an excellent job in emceeing the auction. Everyone seemed pleased with their won treasures. At this time we would like to recognize the students that auditioned for and qualified for the District choir. In no particular order congratulations go to: Kevin Guzman, Robert Newberry, David Moynihan, Kailyn Kolb, Rebecca Peter, Morgan Mayer, Karinna Lara, Vedika Khanna, Madison Suarez, Tyler Denton, Tate Brown, Grace Bracher, Cara Bacon, Marguerite Lavin, Sofia Nash, Evan Moynihan, Alicia McCormick, Diana Luu, Ryan Robbins, Elyse White and Taylor Shaunfield. Auditioning for and moving on to Regional Choir are: Elyse White, Taylor Shaunfield, Diana Luu, Alicia McCormick, Evan Moynihan, Sofia Nash, Marguerite Lavin, Kara Bacon, Tate Brown, Tyler Denton, Kailyn Kolb and David Moynihan. These students have worked very hard vocally and attained a level of excellence that is not reached by most. If you know them or see them at school or in the community, please congratulate them on their vocal accomplishment. Great Job!!! The Holiday Concert will be held on Tuesday, December 10th in the school auditorium. Festive holiday decor will add a flair to this international themed musical celebration. “Christmas around the World” will be a splendor for your eyes and ears... mark your calendars now so you won’t miss a note! The students will wrap up their 2013 choir experience with a holiday party on the 12th from 6 PM - 9 PM in the teaching theatre and commons areas. It will be an occasion full of laughter and merriment to be remembered and treasured, especially for our seniors. This first half of our children’s school year is already packed with memories and pleasant silliness. We look forward to filling the second half with many more. Of course none of this would be possible without our amazing choral directors, booster club executive board, the booster club and our many volunteers. We hope your time that you share with your children in the choir is filled with warm blessings and happy hearts. Have a Merry Christmas and we will see you in 2014!!!

some special time together in a variety of camp activities. The talent show and Dutch Oven cookoff are always popular events. Hiking, playing in the river and some time spent shopping in Wimberley helped round out the weekend. November also saw a chance for Girl Scout leaders to visit and learn from each other in a “café” event. Leaders have also been busy taking training classes and learning new skills. Those who attended the Council ETC (Every Thing Covered) may not actually have covered EVERYTHING... but there was certainly a lot to choose from! Copper Creek Meadows serves girls in the residence areas for the following elementary schools (and their corresponding middle and high schools): Wilson, Metcalf, Lieder, Tipps, Texas Christian School, Birkes, Fiest, Lowery, Horne, Owens, Hairgrove, Kirk, Lee, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and Christian Life Center. Girl Scouting is open to all girls ages 5 (must be in kindergarten) through 18 who are willing to accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Home schooled and private school students are always welcome. Girls may join at any level and no previous Scouting experience is required.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA COPPERHEAD DISTRICT

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, selfconfidence, ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to: • Try new things. • Provide service to others. • Build self-confidence. • Reinforce ethical standards. Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly. Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,

LOWERY ELEMENTARY CUB SCOUT PACK 1445 NEWS

We’re pleased to report that 2013-2014 continues to be a great year for Cub Scout Pack 1445! The Pack has been working hard to maintain the flowerbeds around the Lowery Elementary marquee and once construction is complete around the school, we’ll make sure the other flowerbeds look just as great! In October, the Pack recognized 11 new Scouts who completed the necessary requirements to earn their Bobcat badges. In November, the Scouts helped with the Veterans Day ceremony and activities held to honor the Lowery family members and friends who have served in our country’s armed forces. In December, the boys will participate in the Parade of Lights and have a blast riding on the Pack’s trailer. On December 14th, we will have the honor of participating in the Wreaths Across America’s Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Houston National Cemetery.

The American Cancer Society’s popular fundraising event in the fight against cancer, Relay For Life®, is now forming both business and personal teams for the April 25, 2014 Cy-Fair event. We are also seeking volunteers, cancer Survivors and CareGivers for the Cy-Fair Relay. Anyone interested in signing up or learning more about how you can help in the fight against cancer can go to www.relayforlife. org/cyfairtx. At Relay For Life® events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds you raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer - just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year! Relay For Life® teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park or fairground. Events are up to 24 hours long and because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.

All patients are treated by Board Certified Physicians, not by nurse practitioners or physician's assistants.

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ? We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor of chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, (procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. We will make this special program available through December. The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.
