TWIN CREEKS TRIBUNE
JULY 2016
VOLUME 10, ISSUE 7
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN AND AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD Karen Calvert, HOA Communications Wondering what’s going on in and around our neighborhood? Well here are a few things to catch-up on… HAPPY JULY!
If you receive this newsletter before July 4th, I hope to see you all at the TC HOA/TCCC Annual 4th of July Celebration beginning with a TC parade at 11 a.m. followed by food and games starting at 12 noon. If it’s after the 4th, I hope you had a fantastic (and safe) 4th of July! It’s definitely summer – and the exper ts at www. resolutiongardens.com, www.naturalgardeneraustin.com, and www. centraltexasgardening.net/calendar.htm have a few suggestions on what to do for the month of July: • If you want to grow Jack O’ Lanterns in time for Halloween, then July is when you should plant pumpkins seeds or plants. • In addition, if you are going to grow vegetables for a fall garden that take several months to harvest, you should plant them in July – including tomatoes. • Check your container plants often as they may need to be watered everyday if the temperatures reach triple digits. • If you haven’t applied fertilizer to your landscape plants in the past couple of months, this is the last time to fertilize before fall. As an F.Y.I., native plants won’t need it, but non-native plants will appreciate it. On the City of Cedar Park front, here are a couple of items you might find of interest: • If you have driven on Anderson Mill between Lime Creek Road and RM 1431, you know it can be a bit dangerous at times. The City of Cedar Park has a project underway, currently in the design phase, to make improvements to this section of road. Phase One Copyright © 2016 Peel, Inc.
will include reconstruction to a two lane roadway with turn lanes at intersections. Phase Two will add two lanes on the northern section, plus two lanes through the Deer Creek portion. • Did you know that the City of Cedar Park has an emergency alert system, CPAlertME, that can call or text you on your mobile phone in the event of an emergency, severe weather event or disaster? To find out more about it, visit www.cedarparktexas.gov and search on Emergency Management We are still looking for volunteers to join the Communications Committee and assist in sharing HOA and community information with the neighborhood! If you are interested, please contact me at karen.calvert723@gmail.com or send me a note via Nextdoor. I would definitely appreciate your help. Also, I posted some items in last month’s newsletter regarding pool safety but here are a few additional items that are important, especially when swimming in our community pool or other public pools: • Always designate an adult as supervisor. • Keep a cell phone nearby when supervising kids in the pool. • Make sure your children understand and obey all pool rules posted at the pool. • Check to see if there are Lifeguards on duty and learn where the safety equipment is located. • Perhaps most important for us is to realize is that having a Lifeguard present does not substitute for the watchful eyes of a parent or guardian. Let’s have a safe and enjoyable summer! Okay, that’s all for now! See you around the neighborhood!
