HOA UPDATE
CHEF'S CORNER
The holidays are upon us!! As we enjoy this time of year and prepare to move into 2020, annual assessments will be due. You may not be aware that HOA assessments are not escrowed with your mortgage payments. This is a separate bill that comes at the end of each year, due in January of each new year. Specifically, the assessment is due January 1 and late after January 31st. Reminders will go out the 1st week of February followed by Demands the 1st week of March. Beginning in April, any account not paid or on a payment plan, will be turned over to the attorney for collection. Please know it is not our intention to cause hardships for our homeowners. Assessments are necessary in order to operate the Association. Please reach out to us if you need assistance with your account. We are happy to help and work with you in any way we can.
CafÊ Sol has some new brunch menu items and you won’t want to miss out in these!
Sincerely,

DID YOU KNOW?
Meridiana will be expanding their education with TWO more schools joining the already established elementary school in the community. That’s right! A Junior High and High School will be added to Meridiana expected to open 2021.
We moved here in December 2016 not 2018. Gabe works at DOW in Freeport and I am a recent stay-at-home mom after teaching PK and special education for 10 years. We have 3 kids Lily (4), Leah (2) and Luke (born 9/9/19). We chose Meridiana because we wanted to settle down in a place where we could enjoy family activities, build lasting relationships for us and our kids and be close to our family. As a family we like to play and hangout in our backyard while BBQing and snuggle on the couch to watch Disney movies. When we are not at home you can find us at Studio G dance studio in Manvel where Lily and Leah dance. Gabe started the Recycle Club in the spring of 2019 because he noticed a great need for residents that wanted to recycle. Also I have started a mom’s Facebook page called Moms of Meridiana. I noticed there was a need for moms in Meridiana to have a place where we could share parenting tips, brag/ complain about our kids, schedule play dates and build a sense of community within the mom population here. We love being here in Meridiana and we are wonderful advocates for this beautiful community.

We moved into our home on November 23, 2016 bringing a few friends with us. Our love for Meridiana grew over time as we moved from Kingwood which is a pretty amazing community. With that we had extremely high hopes and expectations, which Meridian has provided. We had a few personal reasons that brought us here, one that we will never regret would be our commute to work. Both my husband and I work for Department of Defense, being able to get to work in under 45 minutes is life changing. We have 4 children Shamar(19), Marcos(18), Isaiah(14), and Aden(9). We all enjoy partaking in different pastimes here, one of my favorites is riding my bike on the trails. My husband and daughter enjoy fishing and the boys spend many hours at the basketball court. Café Sol is also somewhere we all enjoy. Excited to see what the future holds for Meridiana and its residents.
