Dear Residents,

This week's NewsFlash contains information on...

• New, easy to remember email address for Village Manager!
• Print Directory Update - Has Your Contact Info Changed?
• New Gate Camera Installations In Progress
• Community-Wide Annual Survey Coming Out Monday
• Easter Event - Save the Date, April 8th
• More Info on Taste of Hackberry - Save The Date, April 29th
• Hackberry Creek Cookbook Project - Recipe Submission Window Closing Soon

Have a great week and as always, if you have any questions, please call the Hackberry Creek office at 972-401-4946.

You can also reach the Village Manager through the Hackberry Creek HOA app, or by emailing Randy Smith at villagemanager@hackberrycreek.com

At the office we have created a new, easy to remember email address for the Village Manager. The new email address can be found below!

Be on the lookout for the community survey to be sent out Monday, April 3rd late morning. If you get these NewsFlashes - your email is set to receive the survey. The survey will come from the email address: residentsurvey@hackberrycreek.com.

Vendors have been onsite since Monday working on installation of the new Gate camera system and all entry and exit lanes. The system should be fully operational by next week. Some locations are already up and running. Cameras now capture license plates (day and night), close ups of drivers, work areas inside the gate houses, vehicles images in both the resident and guest lanes, as well as exit lanes (including license plate capture).

The cloud-based system will be much easier to manage and use to review footage if needed. If cameras ever go offline the management office is instantly notified of the issue via text message notification so the issue can be resolved as quickly as possible.

Please use caution when entering or exiting the gates if you see contractor vehicles present.

We expect to have the 2023 Directory printed and out to everyone next month. We are compiling information now and if you've changed your email address or phone number since last October, please shoot us a quick email at the office with your updated contact info, including your address.

On April 8th from 12PM-2PM Hackberry Creek Country Club will be hosting the Easter egg hunt this year on the lawn in between the swimming pool and the club. They will provide a bounce house along with hamburger and hot dogs for sale, along with a satellite bar for drink purchases.
