BRADFORD COLONY 1 & 2 NEWS FROM THE BOARD The Board attempted to have our annual meeting in November but unfortunately we did not have a quorum. We will try to get as much proxies or attendance as possible and reschedule the annual meeting. We understand this is one of the busiest times of the year, but if you can fill out and sign the annual meeting proxy and mail it back to PMG or give to any of the Board members, we would appreciate it. The proxy was mailed to each home in October, but if you would like to obtain another one, you may contact our community manager Roni Verrett at 713-329-7100 and it can be emailed to you. There are quite a few updates and maintenance we would like to do for the community. The annual dues are used to mainly pay for basic expenses like streetlights electricity, common area upkeep, mosquito spraying etc… If everyone pays their dues, we will be able to do more to further enhance our neighborhood. Please share with us your ideas and suggestions. Please be aware that you may make arrangement for a payment plan if that is an easier way to pay for the annual dues. Finally, the Board wishes everyone a wonderful holiday season and a great new year!

BRADFORD COLONY SECTION 3 CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE: WWW.BCS3.ORG (BCS3) The Board would like to wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season!

(BCS3) 2016 BUDGET AND HOME OWNERS ASSESSMENT By now, everyone should have had the opportunity to pick up a copy of the 2016 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 2016 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, 2015 with late fees and interest starting to be added on to unpaid balances as of January 31, 2016. 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 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.

save the date

Christmas Eve Services Thursday, December 24, 2015 5, 7, 9 & 11 p.m.

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) CONTACT THE BOARD As is the case with everything in our small neighborhood, every resident should feel free to contact any Board member as to any issue or question that you have about BCS3. Contact information for all the Board members is located on the inside back cover of this publication.

CHARLESTOWN COLONY (CHC) ANNUAL MEETING PART 2 We made quorum! Many thanks to those who sent in proxies and to those that were able to attend. Two Board members were elected. Heather Malone completed a 3-year term on the Board and was elected to a second term. Silverio Sanchez was elected to his first term. Many thanks to the other two candidates for the open Board positions. Our Board does a great job keeping the neighborhood in excellent condition. Many thanks to Alex and Sharon who have served us for 12 years; Heather, 3 years and Byron, 2 years. The annual meeting is always held the first Wednesday in October. Please mark your calendars now for the 2016 annual meeting. Proxies are mailed in mid-September. The proxy comes from a very “business” looking envelope from Associa, Principal Management Group of Houston. The envelope has the BBB symbol as well as two other management certification symbols in the return address area. Please don’t confuse this with a “please donate to our worthy cause” request or think this is you annual dues statement. Annual dues statements are mailed in November. Holding a second annual meeting costs our Association over $500 and costs time for the Board as well as community members who attend.

(CHC) FUTURE PROJECTS In the coming months watch for a new look to the front entrance. Our new landscaping company, IMS Landscaping, will be replacing the bushes and giving the front a much needed facelift. The playground equipment was power washed this year. Money has been set aside specifically for playground improvements in 2016. Unfortunately, replacing the pea gravel is cost prohibitive. If you frequent the park and have ideas for improvements, please contact any of the Board members. Their contact information is listed in the “Important Numbers” section of this publication.

“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.

CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH and WELLNESS CENTER (CHC) ASSOCIATION DUES Our annual dues will remain at $300 for 2016. How this money is spent was reviewed at the annual meeting (both of them). Residents can get a copy of the financial report from PMG. While two of our largest expenses are utilities and insurance, the Association has spent a large amount of money on postage for deed restriction violation, billing, 2 annual meetings and collection notices. Should you receive a letter from the Association, please do not ignore that letter. Ultimately costs for collections are billed back to the homeowner. Ignoring Association letters increases costs for all involved.

(CHC) ANNUAL DUES PAYMENT Everyone should have received their association dues bill from Principle Management Group (PMG) in late November. You can also see and pay this bill on-line if you set up an account with PMG. Use your account number (found on the bill) to register on the PMG web site. Follow the below steps and register your account: 1.) Visit http://access.associawebsites.com/AssociaAccess/ 2.) Click on “Register” in the upper right hand corner If you need your account number, please contact our community manager, Frank Gonzalez, at fgonzalez@pmghouston.com or his assistant, Brandi Edmond, at bedmond@pmghouston.com. Once registered you can view and pay your bill. You can also see any information about work orders or deed violations at this site. There are instructions on the back of the assessment received in the mail as to payment procedures. When paying your dues, be sure to follow the instructions below from PMG to ensure your payments are processed promptly:

• Do not send cash. PMG accepts check or money orders only. • Be sure to include your statement coupon OR account number on the check. • Log into your account online at www.pmghouston.com and make your payment online. • Send all payments to the below address: PO Box 3157 Houston, TX 77253-3157 • If you have PMG’s address saved in your online bill pay, please be sure to update the address. • If the payment is mailed in, the Association does not go by the post-marked date. It is entered by date received. Be sure to send in your payments early to avoid late fees. • Payments not processed at our branch office. Should any payments be received at the branch office, it will take at least 7-10 business days to post to the account. Remember association dues must be received by PMG by the end of January. Any association dues not received will be subject to substantial late penalties. Be sure to contact PMG to work out any payment plan before the end of January. Our Association does contract with an attorney office for collection of late dues payments. All collection costs ultimately add to the delinquent homeowner’s total cost.

(CHC) HOLIDAY DECORATIONS CONTEST It is time to be festive and decorate! Our Holiday Decoration judging will take place sometime between December 14th and 22nd, so be sure to have your decorations up and on! The decorations are a real treat, something special to mark the season. One year is finishing and another about to begin. Even though the days are shorter and it gets dark earlier, our neighborhood is brightly lit during this time of year! Want to help pick the winner? See a home that is especially festive? Email a Board member and let them know! The winner will

Yard of the Month returns in March.

(CHC) CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING While we have curbside pick-up for regular household recycling, Christmas trees left at the curb just take up space in landfills. Bear Creek Park has recycled Christmas trees into mulch used by the county for many years. The recycling program starts the day after Christmas and ends around January 6th. See their web site for details. Details will be on a banner link that runs across the page. Make sure all ornaments and tinsel are removed. Flocked trees don’t recycle. Drop your tree off in the parking lot with the chipping machine. Recycling will also take place at George Bush Park - let your friends know so we can reduce our landfill footprint!

LSC-CyFair offers affordable and flexible options! Associate degrees, workforce certificates and more!

Check out the Precinct 3 website, www.pct3.hctx.net/ for lots of useful information! For example, need to report a traffic signal problem? The information from the website says to call 713-8813210. Check out the Service Request Form and learn how to deal with situations you previously wondered how to deal with. Scroll to the bottom to find the types of service that can be requested.

(CHC) WILD ANIMALS? While our subdivision is not out in the country, we do boarder the flood plain, Langham Creek (south boarder) and Horsepen Creek (east boarder). Many wild animals live in the flood plain. Residents report seeing raccoons, skunks, opossums and even coyotes. Many of these animals come out at night. Most wild animals will stay away from people. Try to walk before full dark sets in, especially if you walk a small dog. If you walk at night, consider carrying wasp spray. Wasp spray will shoot up to 20 feet and is very directional in the spray. Carry a phone and be ready to call for help if needed. If you have outdoor pets, do not leave food out overnight, as this will attract unwanted animals to your yard. Leaving food out endangers both your pets and any other outdoor pet the animal might encounter on its way to your yard for a snack.

(CHC) HOLIDAY SAFETY During the holidays many people are away from their homes for days or sometimes just hours visiting family and friends. Don’t make your home or vehicle an attractive target for thieves. Don’t leave valuables in your car - even if they can’t be seen. If you are way, even for an afternoon, try to set lights on timers. If you are away for a longer period of time, in addition to lights on timers, have a trusted neighbor or friend keep an eye your home. Your home is your castle and unfortunately there are people looking to raid your castle. Churches are encouraging parishioners not to leave valuables in their car as thieves are targeting cars in the parking lot. Your best defense is a good offense. Don’t leave anything of value where someone can take it. As stated on the news, Houston is becoming a much more violent place to live. Got a new computer or big screen TV for the holidays? Take the box to a recycle bin (Horne Elementary and Truitt Middle School both have them) rather than putting it out for the trash. Putting it out for the trash advertises that you have something worth steeling. Think about using extra-long screws in the hinges and catchplates for your doors. These make the doors much more difficult to kick-in and are a fairly simple, do-it-yourself, improvement. There are also doorstops - these prevent the door from opening past a certain distance. You can find all kinds of door locks and stops online and at local home improvement stores. These are often inexpensive upgrades to your security, something you would wish you had rather than replace thousands of dollars of personal items. While double deadbolts may sound like we live in the ghetto, an extra deterrent never hurt.

(CHC) NUISANCES When walking your dog remember to bring along your poopbag. No one wants animal excrement in their yard. This includes walking the dog at the park. Ever have a child walk into your home with excrement on their shoes? Not fun. Do you have a drone? Remember that there are stalking laws that apply to flying drones in someone else’s yard. Think of your drone as a kite. Fly the drone in open spaces. If the drone crashes in someone else’s yard, check the laws to see if that homeowner has any legal obligation to return the drone.

(CHC) IN CLOSING… Lastly, as 2015 draws to a close, the Board thanks everyone who has been working hard to keep up their yards and homes this year. Charlestown Colony is a very good place to live. Happy New Year to All!!

Dear Concord Colony Residents, Your Board of Directors and Community Manager strive to make this community look its best at all times. We are asking you to please take a good look at the exterior of your home and yard. Landscape your flowerbeds if needed, trim your trees and bushes if needed and also reduce the clutter. If the paint on your home is chipping or fading, please consider repainting (approved colors only). However, before you start painting, you must submit an ACC application to the management company for review. If you have any questions or need an ACC application please do not hesitate to contact your community manager, Frank Gonzalez, at 713-329-7169 or by email at fgonzalez@pmghouston.com. Thank you in advance.

to death. Those of you who are dog owners, please be sure to keep a collar and tag on it at all times. Even if the dog is micro chipped, it is much easier to return the dog to you if it has your contact information on a tag.

(GC1) WELCOME PACKAGES We have welcome packages, which include a quick start guide to Georgetown Colony 1, deed restrictions, by which, this subdivision abides and architectural guidelines and forms. They will be handed out to new residents, but are also available upon request by contacting SCS Management at 281-463-1777.

GEORGETOWN COLONY I (GC1) GARBAGE CANS Many neighbors have been storing their garbage cans in view from the street. This is in violation of the deed restrictions and appropriate actions are subject to corrective action. Also, please remember to place garbage curbside after 6 PM, the night before pickup.

(GC1) GARAGE SALES According to the State Comptroller’s office, garage sales are permitted only twice annually. If more than that, it will be assumed that a business is being operated out of home, which is in direct violation of the deed restrictions and necessary action will be taken.

(GC1) HOME IMPROVEMENTS When considering home improvements, please submit an Architectural Review Form to the Board for approval prior to beginning of any exterior work. The forms may be obtained from SCS Management at www.scsmngt.com and are approved through your local Architectural Control Board. Projects shall be completed on a timely basis.

(GC1) DEED RESTRICTION COMPLAINTS Any resident may file a complaint either by contacting SCS management at 281-463-1777 or georgetowncolony@yahoo. com, where you may email the Board members.

(GC1) LOST AND FOUND PETS The first thing to do if you find a lost dog that does not have a tag, is to take it to any vet’s clinic or Petsmart and have it scanned for a micro chip. This is the fastest way to get the dog back to its owner. If it does not have a micro chip, please look for signs to make sure the dog gets back to its rightful owner. A dog that is left to wander is subject to being hit by a car, abuse or starving

• Forget paper filters - Instead of a electric coffee machines, consider buying a French press or an old-fashioned stainless steel percolator, which don’t require filters. They’re also much cheaper than coffee machines. OR a reusable mesh filter is an option for those who already have coffee machines. And if you must use a Keurig machine, you can employ a reuseable pod for your drinks instead of landfill-clogging plastic pods. • Look for these labels - USDA Organic - To earn USDA’s organic seal, coffee farmers must not have used synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers for at least 3 years. Growing coffee organically helps minimize the risk of environmental contamination & accidents involving toxic chemicals. - Fair Trade - Fair trade certification helps protect suppliers from exploitation by ensuring that they’re paid a fair price for their hard-earned crop. In return for providing good working conditions & just wages, producers get paid more for their coffee. Although the certification serves a primarily social purpose, when farmers get a fair price for their beans, they need less land to support themselves & their families. That means more land preserved for natural habitat. - Shade-Grown - Traditionally, coffee has been grown beneath the forest canopy. Now forests are cleared so that coffee can grow under the sun, which promotes higher & faster-growing yields. Shade-grown coffee, however, comes from plantations with the tree canopy & associated biodiversity still intact. Do your own research - since no official shade-grown certification exists, most coffee brands bearing the label have set their own standards. “Shade-grown” can range from full tree cover to full sun. “Rustic” is the most sustainable shade category option (coffee grows in the existing forest with little disturbance of native vegetation). You can learn more about shade categories at www. coffeehabitat.com/2006/02/what_is_shade_g/. • Choose Arabica Beans - Unlike Arabica beans (which are shade-grown), Robusta beans thrive in the sun & therefore tend to have higher yields. That means growing Robusta often requires deforestation. Robusta has about twice the caffeine content of Arabica & can have a harsher & bitterer taste. As a result, Robusta is typically used for inexpensive instant coffee, as well as supermarket brands, which often consist of both Arabica & Robusta beans. On the other hand, specialty roasters usually prefer to brew tastier Arabica beans. Look for brands marketed as “100% Arabica” to make extra sure your dollars go toward shade-grown coffee. • Be prepared for extra cost - Cheap coffee might make less of a dent in your wallet, but the same can’t necessarily be said of its effects on farmers or the environment, which often take the brunt of the cost in the form of exploitation & deforestation to keep prices low. Shoulder some of the financial burden & avoid buying coffee from convenience store chains, fast-food restaurants, & other inexpensive outlets. • Compost coffee grounds - This is an easy one. Instead of tossing your coffee grounds, add them to your compost pile or dig or till them into the soil at a 6-8 inch depth. The relatively nitrogenrich grounds supply bacteria with energy to decompose organic matter. Even just tossing them in your flowerbeds or onto your lawn is a better option than throwing them in the trash. And better for the flowerbeds & lawn, too.

(JC) PLANNING HOME IMPROVEMENTS? If you’re about to make repairs or additions to your home, remember that, in many cases, you need to complete an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) request. But when do you have to complete an ACC form & when are you okay to just get on with your repairs? Here’s a very rough guideline: • You can replace boards in your fence without completing an ACC as long as you replace the boards with the same material, but if you plan to replace an entire section or the entire fence or gates, you will need to complete an ACC request. • An ACC is always needed for paint jobs and for all proposed repairs (or additions) that can be seen from the street (that includes new benches in front yards or for any structural repairs or changes). Remember that the only colors approved will be earth

tones. A palette of approved colors is available for view at the Sherwin Williams paint store at 5814 Highway 6 N (SE corner of Hwy. 6 and Timber Creek Place). And, honestly, it’s not a big deal - most ACCs are approved as a matter of course. We’re not ogres; we’re your neighbors and friends. Contact PMG to get a copy of the latest ACC form (eventually it will be available on the website, when we get it up and running). You must include a $10 check with each ACC submittal.

HOUSTON CY-FAIR LIONS CLUB

TO OFFER FREE VISION SCREENING Houston Cy-Fair Lions Club will conduct FREE vision screening to children from six months of age and older at the Jersey Village Holiday in the Park, to be held Sunday December 6th, from 1-4 PM at Clark Henry Park. This vision screening uses a unique special camera that takes a photo of the child’s eyes and within seconds relates a pass or refer status. Those with the refer status will need to have a professional eye examination at a local optometrist. Vision problems are the leading disability in children, who are unaware that they cannot see properly. They cannot compare their vision to others and vision problems do not cause pain or inflammation, so parents, teachers and caregivers are unaware that the child has visual difficulties. Eighty percent of learning is visual. The Houston Cy-Fair Lions Club has recently purchased the Plusoptix Vision Screener for this community service project. This is part of a nationwide KidSight initiative through Lions Clubs International to screen children early for vision problems. Please bring your children to the Houston Cy-Fair Lions Club booth at Holiday in the Park for this important screening, which takes only a minute. To schedule a free vision screening at your day care or church, please contact: Sandy Martin, Houston Cy-Fair Lions Club Vision Screening Program, 281-550-2798 or bikee77095@yahoo.com.

HOLIDAY VOLUNTEERING IN HOUSTON! Looking for something more meaningful to accomplish versus fighting holiday shopping traffic? VOLUNTEER! There are many opportunities available in our city. Here are a few: 1. Houston Food Bank: opportunities include organizing the pantry shelves and also preparing food bags for pick up for families in need. The holidays are the second hardest time for families who are unable to afford food due to more members being at home. 2. City Wide Club: this local group organizes the Thanksgiving and Christmas feast. Log on to citywideclub.com and the whole family can help serve meals, give food bags, coordinate clothing donations and much more. 3. Citizens for Animal Protection in Katy: many animals are abandoned during the holidays. Spend time with those who cannot speak for themselves. 4. Senior Assisted Living facilities: our senior citizens are the most neglected group of people. Coordinate a magazine drive and donate magazines to a local residential living center, sing holiday carols or better yet, visit and speak with the residents and offer holiday cheer. 5. Star of Hope: prepare or serve meals, read to children, join a prayer group. There is something for everyone here.

SHOP OUR BUY ONE GET ONE FREE SPECIAL!

HOLIDAY SECURITY During the holidays there is an unfortunate increase in home and vehicle burglaries. There are a few things you can do to deter thieves. When shopping for those gifts, secure them in the trunk of your car or out of sight. Visible shopping bags are an invitation to thieves. Be aware of people around you and if you feel someone is following you or watching you, do not get in the car. Many shopping malls offer security officer that will escort you to your car. Take advantage of that service. It’s no secret that piles of unchecked holiday mail and newspapers can tip off burglars to an empty house and lead to holiday breakins. If you’re traveling during the holidays, it’s a good idea to ask a neighbor to help keep up your home’s appearances so it doesn’t have that vacant look about it. Even a small favor such as asking your neighbor to occasionally park their car in your driveway can improve your home security. Use timers to turn lights on and off in the living areas of your home to give the appearance that someone is there.
