Good afternoon, Sonoma Verde!
We've got a good amount of information to cover, so let's jump right down to business this week!
Community updates:
Amenity Building
Texas Bug Team is clearing the empty nests from the amenity building, and repairs to the building damage will begin on Monday. The pool remains open, but please be aware of the work happening around the building.
Clock Tower
We are waiting for Americlock to confirm the start date for work to complete clock repairs at the front entrance to the community.
Community Standards
We are working with several homeowners who have dead trees. We have spoken with the builders, and most have confirmed that trees are covered by warranty for 90 days. We understand that summer is not the best time of year to plant trees, so if you have a dead tree, please reach out to me. We are happy to note your account and hold any notices that would be issued if we know you are aware and working to resolve.
Trash and Recycle receptacles
Trash and recycling receptacles should be stored from public view on non-trash days. If you have bulk trash or plant material to be pick up, please contact CWD for any special requirements they may have. You can also use the CWD website to find the answer to many of your questions.
Architectural Requests
Please remember that the committee has up to 20 days from the time a completed application, with all supporting documentation, is submitted to make a decision. Incomplete applications will delay the process.
As always, have a great weekend! If you have any questions, please reach out, and I will be happy to help!
Thank you,
Jamie Patterson
Community Manager

"Amity, as you know, means friendship" - Mayor Vaughn, Jaws.
There's honestly nothing I enjoy more than seeing the fun y'all have at the parties we've been able to throw this summer!
We're not dealing with the shark issues that the town of Amity was in the movie "Jaws." Still, it always makes me smile seeing the kids have a good time, the adults talking and laughing, and everyone building a better community and getting to spend time together.
Also, if we're honest, I kept myself entertained by throwing inflatable sharks in the pool after the first appearance of Bruce (did you know that was the shark's name in "Jaws"?) last Friday night and letting the kids go nuts.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys a bit more of this warm weather before fall sets in. I'll be watching all of the college football I can handle on Saturday, so I hope you find something to keep you as happy and content as I'll be!
Have a great weekend!

Heroes’ Day will be an all-day event at Harry Myers Park in Rockwall, TX, on Saturday, September 25th. Police, Fire, EMT, and County Sheriffs and Deputies have been specially invited to attend this event with their families.
We also want to welcome the community to join in to help us honor and celebrate these brave men and women for the service they render to all of us every day.
There will be a Kid’s Field Day and a 'Heroes' Day Fitness Challenge. We invite any individuals in the community who would like to test their skill, strength, and stamina against our community’s finest to also register for the competition. There will be a prize awarded for the Grand Champion in the 'Heroes' Day Fitness Challenge.
Live music, food trucks, and bounce houses will be available throughout the day, and the celebration will culminate in an outdoor sundown movie event.
There are many ways you can become a part of celebrating our frontline heroes. Whether you would like to become a premium sponsor, individual sponsor, or participate in any of the events, we would love for you to be a part of this celebratory event.

What was your favorite subject in school?
Like Jamie, I also love Colorado. Charleston, SC, is a place I'd love to visit again, and I've also recently discovered that I enjoy the solitude and quiet of some of the desert national parks while visiting friends in Twentynine Palms, CA.
