I hope you are having a good week. As you can imagine with any transition, there are a lot of projects going on. From making repairs at the pools, researching and upgrading the lights at the Basketball and Tennis courts, to upgrading the current IT platform, we are busy but making progress.
To keep you in the loop, we've placed new computers on order that are compatible with Spectrum's database for tracking homeowners' information and assessments. Secondly, we are training the staff on how to use Spectrum's database to make them more efficient at their jobs, which ultimately provides you a better service. Again, have a good week and see you around the community...
Please don't hesitate to stop in and see me or drop me a note at (
vwoa-cm@sbcglobal.net) if you have any questions.
Don't forget to check "This Week in Westcreek" for future updates!
What small act of kindness were you once shown that you will never forget?
Did you know that the VWOA fully supports homeowner improvements to convert their water guzzling landscape to xeriscape? Please refer to the Standards for Architectural Improvements current guidelines!

Over the past two decades, a growing body of research indicates that volunteering provides not just social benefits, but individual health benefits as well. This research has established a strong relationship between volunteering and health: those who volunteer have lower mortality rates, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer. Some key findings from this research was an analysis of the relationship

Help Us Beautify the Villages of Westcreek!
|
 The Villages of Westcreek Owners Association and the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center have teamed up for a community wide Blood Drive. The Blood Drive will be held during our Summer Jubilee on
August 13, 2016, between the hours of 1:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. in the Sports Park. Please contact the office at (210) 679-8761 to register for the drive!
REMEMBER TO DONATE ... WE KNOW YOU GOT IT IN YOU!!!!
Village Ambassadors Needed
There are 19 villages in the Villages of Westcreek. We have new residents moving in all the time and our Association would like to give them a personal 'Welcome to the Neighborhood!' We want our new residents to understand that we value and encourage their participation in the community. It is the neighborly thing to do, and it provides an opportunity for developing new friendships or just getting to know your neighbors!
We are looking for volunteers to take on the role as an Ambassador for each of the 19 villages. As new residents move into our villages, the Association would notify the Ambassador for that village. The Ambassador would work with other members of their village who would like to help in welcoming their new residents. By greeting our new residents face to face, it gives us an opportunity to provide information and answer any questions that they may have. Many residents have questions about local gyms, doctors, veterinary services for pets, lawn care...the list is endless.
The first step is find Ambassadors that are willing to help build a team in their village to welcome new residents! You don't have to do all the work, you just have to be willing to help build a team! Please consider helping in welcoming our new residents! If you would like to be an Ambassador or even just a member of the team, please send an email to
infoaction@villagesofwestcreek.com
