Thank you to all of you that were able to the Annual meeting last night! We had fun and we hope you did too. If you have additional questions, feel free to email me. I will be happy to research and respond to any questions you may have. We will also be including all of the questions sent in prior to the meeting below, with the appropriate answers, so you can look over those to see if someone else asked the same thing!

For those of you that were not able to join us for the annual meeting last night, we wanted to make sure that you were able to see the information that was provided as well as review the answers to questions that were submitted.

If, after reviewing this information, you have any questions or would like clarification on any aspects of the Annual Meeting please do not hesitate to let me know and I will be happy to help!

We have also received several calls and emails asking about the Public Improvement District (PID) recently, so I wanted to take time today to give you a bit of an overview of what exactly that entails.

So what is a PID? Public Improvement Districts fund improvements such as road, water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain improvements among other things. Sonoma Verde is located in the Sonoma Verde Public Improvement District of McLendon Chisholm; however, the Association does not manage or operate the PID.

P3Works is the PID Administrator for Sonoma Verde and they have provided some links with additional information if you would like to know more about PIDs and how they serve you. Please call P3Works for questions about PID projects, assessments, or payments and they will be happy to help.

Happy Friday everyone!

First of all, I want to congratulate the raffle winners from the 2020 Sonoma Verde Annual Meeting last night:

And now the announcement everyone has been waiting for, the winner of the GRAND PRIZE, a Yeti Hopper M30 cooler! The winner was randomly drawn from the names of all residents who registered for the 2020 Annual Meeting by Tuesday, October 6th.

Congratulations to all of the winners! If you have not already emailed to claim your prize, send me an email at ralexander@ccmcnet.com to come pick up your prize next week!!!

As Jamie said, thank you to everyone that was able to join us, we hope it was informative in helping you understand a little bit more about what is going on in your community while also being a little bit entertaining!

In other news, as we come to the start of fall it is time for the pool to close for the season. But even with the pool area closed, you still have access to parts of the amenity center!

The exercise bikes have been moved to the indoor area of the amenity center, so you can still enter through front gate and get a quick ride in if you need to.

We have also set up a guest wifi network so you can come to the amenity center and get some quiet time to get work done, study, or just binge some Netflix in peace. So while you may not get to take a polar plunge you can still enjoy the amenity center areas that are still open!

Finally, with Halloween coming up I am excited to offer Sonoma Verde's first Halloween Trunk and Treat!

It is as simple as setting up your driveway for a fun, creative, and safe way to share some treats (please...no tricks...) with your friends and neighbors. You can find the registration below, so get signed up now and start planning! We will have contests for 3 different types of trunk decorations, with the community voting on:

So get that candy stocked and get those creative juices flowing! We are excited to make this Halloween as safe and fun as possible!

Have fun!

Spend some quarantine time de-cluttering the house? Finally watch the Marie Kondo Netflix show and clean out a bunch of stuff that no longer brings you joy?

On October 17th from 7am - 3pm you can set up and help find new owners for the stuff you no longer need.

Registration is not required, so clear that clutter and make a little cash on the side all from the comfort of your own driveway!

*Spark* that curiosity for science, technology, engineering and math with a fun project dropped at your doorstep!

Halloween is here so get your costumes on and your trunks ready for a night of scary fun and candy!

Register as a trunk or as a trick or treater, or BOTH!

We will have prizes for 3 categories: Scariest Trunk, Funniest Trunk, and Most Creative Trunk, so make sure you get a good picture of your decor and submit it to sonomaverdetx@ccmcnet.com for your chance to win 1 of these 3 great prizes!

Rockwall County has a fantastic public library that I would highly recommend you visit if you are not already a regular.

You can get your library card by visiting the check out desk, and you simply need a photo ID and proof of your current residence. There is no fee for Rockwall County residents, so you can enjoy all of their services for free!

They have weekly story times for multiple ages from infants to preschool aged, online homework resources (library card required to register), and some really cool Adult Online Learning programs as well.

If you are trying to get your kids started on the right foot with reading, feed the minds of the little ones that already scarf down books like candy, or are looking to expand your mind and learn some more yourself, the Rockwall County Library has everything you need!
