2011 Financial RepoRt available on Website The 2011 Financial report for the Grayson Lakes Association can be found at www.graysonlakesliving.com under Community: Resident Forms and Documents. Expenses for 2011 totaled $510,456 compared to a budget of $517,038. Although Water costs were $24,206 over budget and Repair and Maintenance costs were $28,406 over budget, a new contract for Electricity saved the Association $20,568. Your Board also decided not to spend approximately $21,000 on budgeted security enhancements because of the success of the Fort Bend Sheriff’s Patrol provide by MUD 130. Additionally, our Board decided not to make a $15,000 contribution to Capital Reserves in 2011 due to final numbers for the year not being available until February 2012 and there was concern money would not be available to support such a contribution. After adjusting for an increase in Accounts/Receivable, the Association realized income of $526,580 in 2011 compared to a budget of $517,038. This improvement resulted primarily from better than expected recovery of legal fees and prior years’ unpaid assessments. At the end of 2010, excluding pre-paid assessments, the Associations operating checking account contained $16,741. On December 31, 2011 the account contained $33,178, the result of spending below budget and income exceeding budget. In April of 2012, your Board voted to transfer $15,000 of the 2011 surplus to the Replacement/Reserve Fund. In future months you will be hearing more about your Board’s actions to bring our Replacement/Reserves Fund up to an acceptable level.

Crosswalk laws With the placement of the Traffic Signals at the main entrance to our community and the removal of crossing guards during school zone times, a little refresher on Crosswalk and Pedestrian Laws couldn’t hurt. This is particularly important since one of the children from our community was struck by a vehicle while in the crosswalk, so please take the time to read below. According to Texas law 5522 no vehicle can enter or pass through a crosswalk while a pedestrian is anywhere in the crosswalk and the crosswalk signal is not a solid red hand or “do not walk;” the vehicle must yield the right of way to the pedestrian(s). You may only drive through the crosswalk once all pedestrians have completely exited the crosswalk. This includes larger streets with a median, such as Katy-Flewellen and is regardless of the direction of travel by the pedestrian. The intersection at the entrance to our community has the new style of crosswalk signals, which includes a count own. During this count down the pedestrian still has the right of way. Only a solid red hand denotes that the pedestrian no longer has the right of way.
FREE FREE
It is also against the law to enter an intersection without ensuring that you can completely exit the intersection before the signal changes to red. Vehicles waiting to pass through a crosswalk containing a pedestrian should wait outside of the intersection until all pedestrians have cleared the crosswalk. Often drivers will look to their left when making a right turn for oncoming traffic, especially out of our community and will not notice a pedestrian entering the crosswalk on their right. Please ensure that you always look in both directions before entering an intersection, especially to look for pedestrians.
(Shingle color shown in Max Def Weathered Wood)
Pedestrians should also take steps to ensure their safety when crossing intersections. Pedestrians should dismount anything they are riding before entering the intersection such as bicycles and skateboards. They should also meet the eyes of the surrounding drivers to ensure that they drivers and aware of them. Pedestrians should not stop in the crosswalk, but should keep moving in the same direction as the same pace until they have completely exited the crosswalk. Please help keep our community, especially our children, safe by knowing, understanding and following the laws as described above.

There’s extra wear and tear from weekend play, stress from summer heat and corresponding pressure to cut back on watering due to increased utility rates. But if you start a sensible lawn-care program now, you can strengthen your turf going into summer, help it stay greener and give it a better chance against the ravages of insects and disease. of the fertilizer bags or contact a lawn professional for the best advice. by more than a third at one mowing. Use a mulching mower with a sharp blade. Since grass clippings contain 3 to 5 percent nitrogen, they feed the lawn if you let them drop (don’t bag them). This allows you to reduce your annual lawn-feeding program by half.

Katy ISD Board of Trustees Treasurer, Neal Howard; Brittany Spurlock, Miller Career & Technology Center and Colleen Dominguez, Bear Creek Elementary.
KATY ISD ANNOUNCES 2012 DISTRICT-WIDE TEACHERS OF THE YEAR Two outstanding teachers have been chosen as the 2012 Katy ISD District-wide Teachers of the Year. Colleen Dominguez, fifth grade teacher at Bear Creek Elementary and Brittany Spurlock, English teacher at Miller Career & Technology Center, were notified during a surprise visit from Katy ISD Superintendent Alton Frailey. Dominguez, this year’s Elementary District-wide Teacher of the Year, is a self-contained bilingual teacher and team leader. She has taught in Katy ISD since 2008 and holds a B.S. in elementary education from the University of Wisconsin. Dominguez says that what makes teaching rewarding for her is to see students grow academically and in character as the year progresses. Spurlock, this year’s Secondary District-wide Teacher of the Year, teaches both English III & IV, and has been with Katy ISD since 1998. She holds a B.A. in secondary education, English and Dance from the University of Houston and is currently working on her Master’s in English. Spurlock enjoys fueling energy in her classroom by celebrating accomplishments and creating a desire amongst students to want to do better. She also enjoys guiding first-year teachers through the fears and challenges of education. Both District-wide Teachers of the Year were recognized during the April Board of Trustees meeting and will be nominated by Katy ISD for the 2012 Region 4 Texas Teacher of the Year program.

Vincent is a scout in Katy’s Boy Scout Troop 557 of the Texas Skies District. He has been involved in scouting for 11 years. He began as a Tiger Cub in the 1st grade. Vincent has taken on many leadership roles over the years including Senior Patrol L e a d e r, Pa t r o l Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader of Troop 557.

2012 top Selling troop in the SerVice unit
Girl Scout Troop 17277 of the Prairie Rose Service Unit had the distinctive honor of being the top selling troop in the service unit during the 2012 Girl Scout cookie season. They sold a total of 7, 768 boxes of cookies, of which included donations of 231 boxes for active duty military overseas and for the Wounded Warrior Weekend (pictured). The girls also earned the distinctive honor of being Super Troop where, among other things, they must average selling 240 boxes per girl. The girls set troop and individual goals prior to the start of the season and through their hard work, learned valuable life-skills that include not only goal setting, but money management, decision making, people skills and business ethics. They plan on using part of their troop earnings for an overnight trip to Sea World San Antonio. Congratulations girls!!!

Prairie rose Cadette trooP 3068 of Katy Cadette Troop 3068 of Katy recently completed the Journey aMaze by planning and carrying out a “take action” project by hosting a “Friendship Fair” for 40 Junior Girl Scouts. There were all types of fun friendship activities that included skits, crafts and unique games focusing on the ins and outs and highs and lows of friendship. One main lesson they taught the younger Girl Scouts was to always T-H-I-N-K before speaking: T - is it true? H - is it helpful? I - is it inspiring? N - is it necessary? K - is it kind? These Cadettes felt passionate about teaching the younger girls tips and skills to better prepare themselves for their upcoming Junior High years as the Cadettes are well aware that friendship is not always an easy road. Troop 3068 is part of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, Prairie Rose Service Unit. The service unit serves: Elementary: Alexander, Creech, Griffin, Holland, Kilpatrick, Stanley and Williams; Jr. High: Beck, Beckendroff, Cinco Ranch and McMeans; High School: Cinco Ranch and Seven Lakes.
