President's Message TEXAS NATIONAL NIGHT OUT (TXNNO)

Mark your calendar – Tuesday, October 7th, 2013 is Texas National Night Out. The nation outside of Texas holds NNO celebrations the first week of August, but we wait until the temperature outside cools a bit in October. Please take this chance to come outside and get together with your neighbors…or even better, get together with your neighbors and organize a Block Party. The Board has offered to sponsor up $100 per party (excluding alcohol). Please email the Board at wphoa.board@willowpointe.org to let us know of your interest in participating…and plan to take lots of photos for the newsletter!!

FALL COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE

Don’t forget the Fall Community Garage Sale has moved from September to October. To avoid the heat in early September, the Board decided 3 years ago to schedule the Fall Community Garage Sale for the second weekend in October…

October 10-12th this year. And don’t forget each Homeowner may have a garage sale outside of the two hosted by the Community.
