Around the Neighborhood POOL CLOSES SEPTEMBER 30 The Willowlake pool will be closing for the season on September 30, 2012. Please keep your pool cards, as they will be used again next year. Hope you had an enjoyable summer cooling off at the pool! By Linda O’Pry MOSQUITO SPRAYING IN WILLOWLAKE Because some of you have asked, here are the facts on mosquito spraying in Willowlake: The Willowlake HOA contracts with Cypress Creek Pest Control, Inc. to spray for mosquitoes. Normally, they service Willowlake every Tuesday after 11:00 PM. Because of the rain we had during the summer and the recent reports of West Nile Virus, the board approved extending mosquito spraying to Tuesday and Friday through the end of August. We hope it takes care of the problem or curbs it to a large degree. We will never be able to rid ourselves of mosquitoes, but reducing the number is a great help. By Miguel Trevino, Asst. Manager Randall Management
