CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE: WWW.BCS3.ORG The Board would like to wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season!
(BCS3) HOLIDAY DECORATION CONTEST As we have done since 2002, the Board will be selecting the top three homes with the best holiday decorations again this year. The voting will take place about a week before Christmas. As in past years, we know that there will be a lot of brightly decorated and lit up homes in our neighborhood as we celebrate the holiday season. Thanks to everyone for showing their holiday spirit and sharing it with their neighbors.
(BCS3) 2014 BUDGET AND HOMEOWNERS ASSESSMENT By now, everyone should have had the opportunity to pick up a copy of the 2014 Budget from the mailbox handout locations. If you missed this opportunity, please contact any Board member and we will get a copy to you. As for the 2014 Assessment, we would like to thank everyone who has either paid this invoice or will be paying it in the near future. As the billing statement indicates, the deadline for payment of this bill is December 31, 2013 with late fees and interest starting to be added on to unpaid balances as of January 31, 2014. Residents are encouraged to consider setting up payment plans if you feel that you need to spread out payments over time to handle this bill. If you want to set up a payment plan, please contact Theodora Daly at ACMP (281-855-9867) to make arrangements.
(BCS3) HOLIDAY SEASON AND CRIME PREVENTION Many residents will be out of town at various times during the upcoming holiday season. If you are traveling, let your neighbors know that you will be gone and ask them to keep an eye on your homes. For those who are around the neighborhood, as always, please stay alert as to suspicious individuals and/or vehicles that you may see in BCS3. Remember to lock your vehicles, plus not leave valuables in them that may tempt unwelcome visitors. If you have outdoor porch or “corner address” lights, keep them on during the evening - it gets very dark in some parts of the neighborhood and these small lights can really brighten up an area and discourage potential illegal activities. It is sad to say but the crime tends to pick up during the holidays. Let’s do everything that we can to minimize these negative activities.
(BCS3) LET’S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE With the time change and less daylight, all residents are asked to be extra special careful when driving around the neighborhood. Sometimes it is difficult to see our children in the twilight, as they play outside or in the early morning, as they rush to catch the school bus or walk to school. Let’s stick to the posted 20 MPH speed limit in the neighborhood, as well as honor all the stop signs as we stay alert for all the children and other residents who will be out and about during the holiday season.
(BCS3) WEBSITE REMINDER If you have time, please remember to get online and check out the neighborhood website at www.bcs3.org.
