Neighbors,
Our grab and go event Pumpkin Pick Up will take place this Saturday, October 24 from 10:00 am- 12:00pm. A variety of pumpkins will be available for pick up.
Since this event is a while supplies last, we are asking that all kids in the household that would like to receive a pumpkin, kit, and candy be present to pick up. We understand Fall Sports may keep some children out from being able to pick up their pumpkins and supplies. Any remaining pumpkins and kits will be saved and announced to those who missed out for pick up.
All children under 18 living in your household are welcomed . Costumes encouraged! This is a grab and go event, with a quick photo op of those in costume. The double doors to the Amenity Center will be open for you to drive up to or walk up to for pick up.
COVID-19: Safe distancing is suggested. Please stay six feet apart.
****MASK IS REQUIRED****

Breeding Grounds for Scams are
Social & Community Networks
|
|
Be Careful!
Nextdoor and Facebook are platforms for neighbors to chitchat about everything from lost keys found, recipes and babysitting, to lost pets. But it’s also a hotbed for scammers, like “contractors” who disappear with your money, do a shoddy job, or jeopardize your property and insurance by not having proper licensing certifications, insurance or workers comp for their employees.
There’s a false sense of security on Nextdoor and Facebook that, because these are people in your immediate community, they must be trustworthy. Because of that, people may be less likely to use due diligence in researching contractors and caregivers.
The scammers on these platforms are simply using a 21st-century version of an old, effective tactic. Fraudsters are known to drive around neighborhoods looking for properties in need of repairs and offer homeowners affordable quotes for proposed work, then ask for payment up front. The “contractors” would perform a minimal, shoddy job, or none at all. While the scam isn’t new, the platforms are. Nextdoor, specifically saves scammers time by revealing exactly who needs construction work — and where they live. Nextdoor shares its users’ full names and addresses with other people in the neighborhood by default. (You can choose to display just your street name by clicking on your profile picture and going to Settings > Privacy.)
Neighbors also frequently post endorsements for current or former nannies or cleaners — another chance for scammers to take advantage of unsuspecting users.
The best way to protect yourself and your family from these scams is to do research off the platform before hiring or buying. Check to see that contractors and caregivers meet state and local licensing requirements and getting contracts in writing. Don’t automatically trust referrals provided in a post, and don’t feel pressured to commit to engaging services under a tight deadline. Checking the Better Business Bureau to see whether a local business has any outstanding issues can also help.
Ask for references, look for reviews on third-party sites, and never, ever pay for anything you haven’t seen yourself or received. If you’re arranging to purchase a product, meet the seller in a public space. The SafeTrade Stations website lists local police stations that provide designated, surveilled areas for transactions to occur.

Get the Facts about Hunger in Texas |
|
As we continue to manage through these tough, uncharted times, and with the holidays soon upon us, there is no better time to think about our fellow Texans. In Texas, 4,295,240 people are struggling with hunger - and of them 1,598,940 are children.
Though many of us may not realize the grave disparities that exist in our own communities, people struggle with hunger in every county and congressional district in Texas. They could be our neighbors, kids in our children’s classes- the possibilities go on. (Feeding America – Hunger in Texas).
The Feeding America network is able to reach 40 million people, largely thanks to the commitment of volunteers. Our communities are stronger when we join together – help give your neighbors a hand up by volunteering at your local food bank.
To make progress toward ending hunger in Texas, we need to make sure our lawmakers in Washington are fighting for those struggling back home. You can help make sure they see how great the need is in Texas – call on lawmakers to make ending hunger a priority.
If you and your family are taking advantage of the food banks here in San Antonio, please make sure not take more than you need. Let’s make sure that the rest of our fellow Texans in need have the opportunity to access this food. We definitely do not want it to go to waste.
Thank you for supporting our neighbors and doing the right thing!
