As we move forward with the transition, it's important that you know that assessments can still be paid in the Community Center Office, as well as any additional fees that are associated with specific transactions.
Until now, you have had the option to pay assessments and fees via PayPal, check/money order (through the mail, or on site) or pay in cash at the office. Additionally, you could use a credit/debit card while visiting the office. Under this system, the Association had been absorbing the added fees associated with the convenience of using PayPal and the credit card machine.
As of August 1, 2016, you will have the option to pay your assessments online once you register for your account at
www.spectrumam.com
using the access code sent to each homeowner last week. The PayPal option for paying assessments has been turned off effective July 31, 2016.
If you choose to pay your assessments via the www.spectrumam.com website, please know that there is a 3.5% convenience fee when paying with a credit or debit card. You will also have the option to pay with an e-check and there is a $1.99 fee for that service. These fees do not go to Spectrum Association Management or VWOA; they are the merchant vendor's fees. You can still come into the office and pay your assessments in cash, or a check/money order without incurring a fee. However, credit/debit card payments in the office will be processed through the
www.spectrumam.com
website and assessed the above mentioned fee.
All other programs fees (sports, facility rentals, etc.) may be paid via cash, check, money order or debit/credit card in the office and there are no convenience fees associated.
Thank you for your support and understanding. Please contact the staff, the Board or me if you have any questions.
Please don't hesitate to stop in and see me or drop me a note at (
[email protected]) if you have any other questions.
Don't forget to check "This Week in Westcreek" for future updates!
Over the past couple of days, each homeowner should have received the Spectrum postcard pictured above.
We encourage you to immediately register your online service center account at
www.spectruman.com using the access code provided on the back of your postcard.
If you have any questions, or need anything at all, give us a call at 210-679-8761 or chat with us online using the Live Chat feature.
You can also email us at

If you were to move out of the neighborhood, would your neighbors miss 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
[email protected]
