UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENTS
The HOA is hosting several community events during the upcoming months whereby neighbors can come out get to know each other and have fun. Look for email alerts, the HOA website and banners for additional information as the scheduled dates approach. • REINDEER FESTIVAL - Saturday, December 7, 2013, Noon - 4:00 PM at Pocket Park (Linden Tree/Westgreen) To ensure each event is successful, volunteers are needed. Additionally, you are reminded of our standing committees, which need ongoing volunteers. The committees are as follows: • Pool Committee (organizes Official Pool Opening Party & monitors activities during pool season) • Crime Watch Committee (organizes National Night Out) • Newsletter (submit articles) • Yard of the Month (select section winners) Again, volunteering is an opportunity to make Raintree Village a better community for all the residents. If you’re interested in volunteering for any of the noted events or committees, contact Walonda Hollins at hollinsw@sbcglobal.net.

TIPS TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF BURGLARY
It cannot be stated enough of the importance of minimizing our exposure to crime. The list below simply reminds us of things we should be mindful each day. 1. Make sure to close garage doors when at home and away. 2. Don’t keep garage door openers in the car, take them in the house with you; a garage door opener makes it easier for someone to enter your garage or house to remove personal property. 3. Keep car doors locked and take valuables either in your home or ensure the items are not in plain sight. 4. Keep all shrubs and plants at a level low enough that officers passing by or other residents can see if someone is lurking in those bushes! Shrubs should also be trimmed high enough to show “feet” of someone hiding in them. 5. Have keys in hand before leaving the store, house or office avoiding standing by the car searching for them. 6. Don’t leave ladders on the side of the house or in the back yard. Ladders provide easy access to open second floor windows and no one will be able to see. 7. Make sure you close blinds when you are inside at night with the lights on, potential burglars can see right inside and know who is at home. 8. Use sensor lights outside the home. It deters criminals by “spot lighting” their efforts to enter your home. 9. Use double key locks: locks that require a key from the outside and from the inside. 10. Repair any broken areas of your fence reducing the access of potential burglars or mischievous kids. 11. When on vacation, let your neighbor(s) know so they can keep an eye out for suspicious activity. 12. When on vacation, keep yards mowed and trimmed, burglars spend a lot of time in a neighborhood looking for their next targets. Overgrown yards are a sure sign no one’s home.
RAINTREE VILLAGE RECYCLES
Our community participates in recycling through our trash services company. Yet, it’s been brought to our attention that not all residents are aware of this opportunity. Residents may contact Royal Disposal at 713-526-1536 to obtain a recycle bin.
2
The following items may be placed in the recycle bin and placed for pickup on Fridays: • newsprint • corrugated cardboard • office and computer paper • mixed paper • plastics • magazines • telephone directories • aluminum cans and scrap The HOA needs to hear from you regarding the program. Do you recycle? If so, how often do you use the recycle bin? Would you like the option of receiving a larger bin (size of a regular trashcan)? Where would you store a recycle bin of this size? Please let us know by emailing mgmt@kpmmanagement.com
SATELLITE DISHES
It’s come to HOA’s attention that the installation of satellite dishes on some homes violates the deed restrictions. Satellites are expected to be installed out of sight of public view. The Association appreciates residents taking the time to ensure compliance.
RAINTREE VILLAGE HOA WEBSITE WWW.RAINTREEVILLAGE.COM
We encourage you to visit our community website. The website includes a link to review current crime statistics for our community (www.crimereports.org) and pictures of Yard of the Month winners. As a fellow resident, you’ll have access to critical information regarding the HOA budget and annual meeting minutes. The aforementioned information can only be accessed by establishing a log-on user name and password. A request for an email address during the initial signup process will enable residents to receive alerts of upcoming events or critical notices. If you have any suggestions, please contact KPM Management Office at 281-685-3090.

TRASH PICKUP SERVICES
Royal Waste Management encourages residents to call in complaints regarding trash pickup. The crews are participating in a competition whereby the best crew receives a cash bonus at yearend. All complaints are taken seriously and posted internally for all crews to view. Additionally, the crew suffers deductions for each complaint.
20445-A Morton Road
If you have a complaint regarding the trash service, contact Charles Gregory (Operations Manager) at 713-526-1536.
(West of North Fry Rd.)
281-647-2865
Let’s be mindful that as residents, we must do our part by placing waste in trash bags. If you can’t lift the bag or trash receptacle it’s too full. You should consider breaking up your trash into more bags. We encourage you to remove all trash receptacles from curbside before you retire in the evenings. Additionally, the crew cannot pickup paint and other hazardous materials. You must take such items either to a Harris County or City of Houston hazardous waste dumpsite.

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.
In the Automotive Business Since 1977 Major Credit Cards Accepted Dependable & Courteous
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”
Celebrating our 12th year in Katy! Check Engine Light Service
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances: 1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access to sidewalk or street.” While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet. To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained please contact: Harris County Precinct #5, Contract #87: 281-463-6666 Harris County Animal Control: 281-999-3191 Harris County Health Department, Rabies/Animal Control Section 2223 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027-3588 www.countypets.com
