WE TRULY HAVE A WONDERFUL AND GIVING NEIGHBORS!!!!! Breakfast with Santa was a great success, more than 100 families came to see Santa and Santa really enjoyed seeing all of the kids. The Sunshine Dance Group along with choirs from Fern Bluff Elementary, Chisholm Trail Middle School and Round Rock High School provided the most wonderful entertainment during the event. Our neighborhood joined in with Fern Bluff Elementary again this year by adopting families who needed a little bit of assistance during the holidays. All of the families that we supported either have children at Fern Bluff Elementary, or they are a part of our school community in some way. The total amount of Gift cards collected
this year was $2,490. We were able to assist 9 families along with, what I like to call, “Cindy’s kids”. Cindy is a wonderful person living in our neighborhood who works with kids who are homeless and are trying to attend Round Rock High School. Special thanks goes to Gina and her gift card party attendees. It was great fun while serving to really help out the cause. We also collected items for Brown Santa, Wyoming Springs Memory Care and the Baptist Childrens Home. Thanks to Everyone who participated! Laura Kouns, President Stone Canyon HOA and Recreation Chair
UPCOMING CAPITOL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR 2014 By Al Maus . SCOA, Capitol Improvements Chair
The Capitol Improvement Committee along with the Board of Directors are looking at three projects in our neighborhood along Brightwater Blvd. this year. The first project is the repair of the sidewalks at the Brightwater Park culvert. If you jog, walk or ride a bike across the concrete box culvert on the sidewalks at Brightwater Park (both sides) you have seen that the sidewalks have sunk approximately two inches around the storm sewer entrances. The walk on the north side has also begun to separate from the curbing. We are working with the county on replacing these sidewalks.

We are attempting to secure some monies from the county and or the MUD to assist with these repairs, so far with no luck. Further to the west along Brightwater Blvd. is our second project. There are, on each side of the Blvd., a couple of places on the sidewalks that will hold water and dirt runoff after a rain. In the past we have had a swale cut in the grass to attempt to allow the water to egress into the street, but the dirt that sometimes comes along will fill in the trench and again, over time, block (Continued on Page 3)
