Pool Update
Additional lounge chairs, spa chairs, and a new shade structure have been ordered for the community’s growing needs! The new shade structure (currently under construction) will be completed within 2 weeks of the pool opening! Unfortunately, the lounge chairs will not be in until the end of the season due to supply chain issues. Please bring your own chair until the new chairs arrive to guarantee a seat.
In addition to the new purchases, warranty work on the pool deck is underway. The warranty work is dealing with water pooling issues that took place last year and will be completed by pool opening.

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY STUDY |
|
Each year, Sterling Ranch partners with Vanderbilt University to assist students in understanding residential developments. This month, three Vanderbilt students are staying at Sterling Ranch to research residents’ thoughts and feelings toward education in smart communities like Sterling Ranch. Below is a message from the Vanderbilt students -- Hannah, Chioma, and Susanna. Please consider assisting these students in completing their research projects by participating in a 30-minute interview.
Thank you for your time. We are eager to learn about your perspectives on education. Please email our professor listed below to schedule a 30-minute interview (in-person) at a place (e.g., your Sterling Ranch residence; the Sterling Center; or the Resident Resource Center), date (May 21 - 27), and time (between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm) of most convenience. The interview questions were written by us, with assistance from our professor, Dr. Claire Smrekar. We hope our research deepens our understanding of how smart community residents view education possibilities now and in the future.
Thank you for your participation! We hope to meet you soon!
Hannah, Chioma, and Susanna.

If you have past due water and sewer charges, quarterly fees, or community standard fines on your account, you’ll want to contact us to make payment arrangements or negotiate a payment plan prior to June 1st. On April 20th, CAB approved a collection policy that will be implemented on June 1st.
One highlight of the policy is the free Courtesy Notice that will be provided via email, text message or automated phone call to those who haven’t paid 3-days after the due date. We are confident this reminder will assist those who simply forgot to pay their bill. In addition, the policy offers owners the opportunity to negotiate a payment plan and does incorporate eventual service shut-off for non-payment. These are just a few of the components of the collection policy which can be reviewed, in full by clicking here.
We encourage anyone who might be past due to contact our billing agency now to discuss resolving the past due account through payment or payment plan prior to the June 1st implementation.
CAB billing agency:
1‐833‐SRCAB‐40 or (833) 772‐2240

YOUNG HEART YOGIS SUMMER CAMP
Young Heart Yogis is a special experience for children to connect to their bodies and minds in a fun, interactive way. Each class is designed to incorporate breathing techniques, yoga postures, partner poses, and games in a child-friendly environment. During our yoga practice together, the children will learn about and practice traits such as courage, strength, perseverance, concentration, trust, and an “I can” attitude to improve their self-confidence. By including these traits, we will be celebrating each child’s abilities and building life-long skills for success. The “Namaste” at the end of each of our yoga classes will empower each child to portray kind thoughts, kind words, and kind actions in their daily lives. As your children participate in Young Heart Yogis, it is our hope they will leave with a clear mind and a full heart. Registration information to come. Click below to see more information on days and themes for Sterling Ranch.
