Message from the President Hope y’all have had a marvelous summer. Thought you’d like a bit of an update about what’s been going on around our beautiful neighborhood. • CHANGES IN THE BOARD: A few changes have taken place on the HOA Board due to terms being up for a couple of positions resulting in some shuffling of responsibilities. Ross Burns, who has been our fearless leader as President for several years, is now Vice President. Thank you, Ross, for all that you have done for the community as President and thank you for continuing to play an important role for us on the Board. Debby Hackbarth, former Treasurer, is now President of the HOA Board. Chuck Anderson remains as Secretary and Landscaping Liaison; Karen Calvert has joined the Board as Treasurer; Bruce Roach remains as Director; and Brandon Lind’s term has ended. • LANDSCAPING: We have had several projects completed and many continuing projects ongoing: o The line-of-sight project at the entrance and down Twin Creeks Club Drive is complete. o The general hardscape cleaning is complete. o Bushes along Twin Creeks Club Drive have been added. o Agaves and other plants injured by frost have been replaced. o The arbors have been refurbished and several up-lights have been replaced. • RESERVE TRAIL: This asset to our neighborhood continues to

be enjoyed by hikers of all ages. o The concrete pathway covering washout areas has been stained. o Our landscapers continue to maintain brushy areas along the trail. o New centers with dog baggies and rubbish holders have been added. • SOCIAL EVENTS: Our fantastic social committee members have brought us several super events and are planning several more in the months to come. o April 15th was the Easter Eggstravaganza. o July 4th was the annual parade and fun activities. o Upcoming: Fall Festival - October 15th and a New Year’s Eve/ Winter Holiday event - December 30th. CONTINUED NEEDS: If you are wondering where you can help, please consider the following: o We continue to need a new Neighborhood Watch Chairperson o Communications Committee needs members For your reference, the General Manager of the club is Justin Jafarian and his contact information is jjafarian@twincreeksclub.com.

Neighborhood Watch News…

A Letter from Brian and Shannon Tweedt, Neighborhood Watch Co-Chairpersons Dear Twin Creeks Neighbors, We are looking for a replacement of the Neighborhood Watch Chairperson. During the 2017 annual HOA meeting, the Mayor stated that we continue to remain the safest community in Cedar Park and we would like to keep it that way. Since taking on this role in 2014, we have enjoyed helping the community stay connected and safe. Recently our careers have taken us in a different direction and we can no longer provide the level of service we feel this community deserves. We would like to see someone Copyright © 2017 Peel, Inc.

step up and take Neighborhood Watch to the next level. We will continue to play an active role but need someone to take the reins. If you or anyone you know would be interested, please reach out to us. This is an important program for our community and we don't want to see it diminish. Thank you, ~ Brian & Shannon Tweedt | Co-Chairpersons Twin Creeks Neighborhood Watch Twin Creeks Homeowner's Association Newsletter - August 2017

TWIN CREEKS TRIBUNE

What a Great 4th of July HOA Party at Twin Creeks Country Club! Twin Creeks residents gathered together at the park in their amazingly decorated pets, golf carts, scooters and kiddie cars. Such creativity! Our wonderful Volente firemen and Uncle Sal led the parade down Twin Creeks Club Drive to the club, where everyone then lined up for the Parade competition. Lots of great prizes. Thank you Twin Creeks Country Club for donating the adult prizes. They were a great hit. Afterwards, everyone joined together at the club for pool games, water slide runs, Hydroblast competition, Amy’s Ice Cream, balloon

twister, and Laser Tag games. At 1:30 p.m. everyone had a great time in the 2,000 water balloon fight and, right after, ran up to the lawn to dance in the Rock-n-Sud pit. A fun day for all! Next up …. Twin Creeks HOA Fall Festival; Date: TBA The Twin Creeks HOA Social Committee is looking for helpers for the Fall Festival. If you can help with any part of the event; setup, tear down, work an hour or two, anything, it would be such a great help. It takes a village to run these events and we would like to continue with the level with which they are going, but we need more help. We will be offering a shift scheduler sign-up form when we get closer to the event. Email Michelle@Platinumvue.com if you would like to be included in the email when the shift-scheduler sign-up form is sent out. Thank you! Michelle Thompson, Social Committee Chair

Cedar Park News Karen Calvert, Communications Committee Chairperson Here are a couple of reminders from the City of Cedar Park as we continue to enjoy our summer … Did you know that outdoor irrigation accounts for most water usage in Cedar Park during stretches of hot, dry weather?

For more information go to www.waterthriftycedarpark.org. Are you wondering when you are required to get a permit from the City of Cedar Park? Here is a list … • •

TWIN CREEKS TRIBUNE News from the Club … The “Dog Days” of summer have arrived and we are in full swing at the Club! Another successful summer swim team season wrapped up a few weeks ago and this year the Twisters had the largest team ever with over 250 participants. Congratulations to all of our Twin Creeks swimmers and special thanks to the Twisters Board who’s volunteer efforts make the whole thing possible. Some long overdue projects have recently been completed at the pool which include a new filtration system, mastic replacement in the pool deck joints, landscaping, and a “spruce-up” of the pool restrooms. In addition, with the help of our newly formed Pool/FAC Committee, we’ve put an extra emphasis on some of the details that make your Member Experience one that you can be proud of. If you have any feedback or suggestions for the committee or Club Management, please email feedback@ twincreeksclub.com so that we can address it right away. Lastly, a reminder regarding the pool rules for swimming after-hours and safety at the pool facility. The 24 hour lap swimming is a unique

amenity that many Twin Creeks Members enjoy; but, unfortunately this summer we’ve had an increase in unauthorized pool use after the facilities have closed. Please note the rules listed below. If you are at the FAC and observe these rules being broken, please call the bar at 512-275-2349 and the Manager on Duty will investigate and handle appropriately. • Unaccompanied minors are not allowed at the pool after 9:00 p.m. • Pool access after 9:00 p.m. is for adult lap swim purposes only. Only approved users will be allowed access with their key card. • No guests or organized events are allowed at the pool facility after 9:00 p.m., with the exception of Club sponsored events. As always, thank you for your continued support. See you at the Club! Justin Jafarian, General Manager, Twin Creeks Country Club 512-250-3954 jjafarian@twincreeksclub.com
