Next to where the old tennis court was, (behind the shop area) there was a wooden pergola with 2 benches. It has been there for a very long time, and was rotten. It was taken down several months ago and today we began replacing it with pressure treated wood. We will put in a bench structure on the sides next week or so.
We are building it “beefy” with 4″ x 6″ posts, and 2″ x 6″ cross pieces on top. Once the guys are done, we will stain it.
I had a visit today from the Pastor and was asked to let our residents know about the lunch they are having next week. Here is the card he left:
We will be mowing the West side on Tuesday (tomorrow), November 14, and the East side on Wednesday, November 15.
This time of year we usually mow only once per month due to slower growth.
We are having the property re-striped, which includes the Fire Lanes and our visitor parking areas. They will be on property for a week or more.
Our office will close at Noon tomorrow (Friday).
We will be open for the Budget meeting at 7 PM.

The newest Pipeline is posted.
TruGreen will be out today applying a “weed and feed” to the 22 acre property, which helps the grass grow and stops some of the weeds. We do this 2 times per year, Spring and Fall.
For the past 3 years, we have been sending information notices to all residents/homeowners which state all dogs must be on a leash and under your control when on HOA common property. And yet, we still have people letting their dogs out the door and/or letting them wander our property and foul the common areas. The city of Grand Prairie will issue a fine of about $250 for a “dog at large”, per incident.
There is also a City ordinance that you MUST pick up after your dog(s) or you can be fined. It is the responsible thing to do, but few actually do it. The HOA has placed pet sanitation stations around the community, so please use them.
We also have Affidavits of Fact in the Office if you observe a loose dog or someone letting the dog wander off-leash. They do require that you can identify the owner of the dog so the City can go after the right person. Once you have the document filled out, Terry can Notarize it for you and you can drop it at Animal Control. They will then issue a citation.
A photo of the dog and owner is always helpful.
