Ice Cream Social A Cool Event
On Sunday, June 10, 2012 the social committee held a fun filled ice cream social at the gazebo for our Willowlake residents. It was a great way to cool off from the hot, humid weather, to socialize with friends and to meet new ones. Residents, including board members David Bannen and Daniel Flores, enjoyed a variety of ice cream bars, cold drinks and bags of popcorn. We appreciate the support of Deputy Bruce and Deputy Nichols of the Sheriff ’s Department who attended the event and answered security questions from our residents. A big, big thank you to James Deitiker, our Social Committee Chairperson, for his time and efforts in putting this event together. Hope y’all had a good time! Watch for other social events planned for later this year, and we hope to see you there. By Linda O’Pry, Newsletter Editor Copyright © 2012 Peel, Inc.
TEXAS ANNUAL TAX-FREE HOLIDAY
AUGUST 17, 18, & 19
Texas shoppers get a break from state and local taxes on August 17, 18 & 19 - the state’s annual tax-free holiday. Lay-away plans can be used again this year at some stores to take advantage of the sales tax holiday. The law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. Backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary students are also exempt. The exemption does not include items that are reasonably defined as luggage, briefcases, athletic/ duffle/gym bags, computer bags, purses or framed backpacks. A detailed list of exempt and non-exempt items can be found at www.window.state.tx.us/ taxinfo/taxpubs/tx98.
