President's Letter Welcome Spring
I hope you’re enjoying the lovely spring weather. It’s exciting to see blooming, colorful plants again. It’s the perfect time of year to revitalize landscaping and repair or replace sod if needed. In the fall, the Lower Colorado River Authority predicted good rainfall for Central Texas. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they were correct. You may have noticed our on-going challenges with the irrigation system. After the widening of Wyoming Springs, Stone Canyon acquired an irrigation system installed by the City of Round Rock. We inherited a free irrigation system and the task of maintaining a system that we knew nothing about. We’ve discovered many irregularities and repaired when found. It is our goal to maintain and keep the system in good repair to avoid unnecessary waste of our precious water. If you see any leaks or problems, please call our property manager, Bob Nardo, at 502-7510. If Bob is unable to take the call you’ll be given the option to dial zero to report the emergency. It’s also a good idea to email the board@stonecanyonoa. org so that we can follow up to help resolve as quickly as possible. Goodwin Management has upgraded their property management software with valuable new access to your HOA account with them. You will be receiving a letter from them with instructions on how to access your account. You will have the ability to see the balance of your account, review ACC applications and approvals and see a history of deed violations if you have any. You will only have access to your own account. If you want to look at your account before you receive your letter, visit www.goodwintx.com and request your information via email. Although garage sale participation has declined over the last few years, the Board was asked to continue to offer the Spring Garage Sale. The date will be Saturday, April 20th, 8am to 2pm. We’ll post signs around the neighborhood and advertise on Craig’s List and the local papers. Make sure to take advantage of bulk trash pick up on Monday, April 22nd. Have a safe and happy spring!

Neighborhood Watch New Chair
Stone Canyon has a new Chair for our Neighborhood Watch Program: Donna Scoggins, who is our Watch Captain for Trickle Trace, Duerne, and Broken Branch. She lives on Montana Falls Donna was approved and appointed by our Board of Directors at last month’s meeting. Her contact info: DONNA SCOGGINS (512) 423-5901 donna@letsgotoescrow.com Donna is the perfect person to move our program forward. She knows our neighborhood, is tech and media savvy (which I am not); she is enthusiastic about working with everyone—best of all, she is the ultimate volunteer! As soon as she knew I would be leaving, she didn’t hesitate! I’m leaving because I’m getting married!! Many of you know that I lost my husband, Paul, to his valiant battle with Cancer in November 2009. Our best friend, David Dellefield, also lost his wife and my dear friend, Diane. Dave and I’ve known each other for 51 years; our families have been close all this time and our children and grandchildren are thrilled that David and I have found so much happiness and beginning our future together. To everyone in our community who provided so much support to both Paul and me during his 3-year illness, then kept my head above water these past 3 ½ years —Thank you.
