Good afternoon, Sonoma Verde!
Summer will be coming to an end, but the fun isn't going to stop. The Amenity Center will remain open, and the pool is open until October. I know Ryan has fantastic events planned as we finish out the year, so make sure you always keep an eye open here in the newsletter as well as the Association Facebook Page to keep up to date on the latest and greatest.
We enjoyed the Lunch n Learn this week as always. The participation from the community is great, and it helps us keep up with what we can do to make Sonoma Verde better for you. If you missed it, you can still watch it on the Facebook page. If you have additional questions or concerns, please reach out to the management staff because we are always here to help!
As always, if there is any way to assist you, please don't hesitate to let me know! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
Thank you,
Jamie Patterson
Community Manager

"Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad I'm not a fool. Got my lunch packed up, my shoes tied tight. I hope I don't get in a fight." - Adam Sandler/Billy Madison, Billy Madison.
I'm honestly not sure how the summer has already flown by, but somehow school already starts next week! It has been an exciting summer with the pool getting a ton of use, outdoor movie nights, craft and STEM kits, and hopefully some fun trips, sports, and summer camps for everyone!
Next week the excitement of a new grade will take over for the nerves (for both the kids and the parents...), and I hope everyone has a great start to the school year! I look forward to seeing all of the "1st Day of School" pictures getting posted all over social media.
I think it's a shame that adults don't get to do 1st day of school pictures like all the kids do, so I'm going to share mine with you. I encourage you to share yours as well! If you're sending off kids, take one of yourself. If you've already sent off all your kids and they're sending off their own now, take one of yourself anyways! It's fun to see what everyone wants to be when they grow up, even if we're already grown up!

Do you like movies?!? I know I like movies! And here's an opportunity to revisit a classic you haven't seen a while or introduce your kids if they haven't seen it.
If you've joined us for our Sonoma Summer Cinema Series at the amenity center, you've no doubt been introduced to Paul with Vivint Smart Home and Sarah with Home & Heart. They both do an amazing service in allowing us to host these events for you, so I wanted to share their upcoming event with the community!
Check out the Summer Movie Night at Honey's this Saturday, August 14th. It's FREE this weekend, and they host a movie there each Saturday in August!

What is a new hobby or interest that you've picked up in the past year?
Digital puzzles. Due to Covid and not being able to get out much, I started working on digital puzzles. There are 1000s of puzzles to choose from, they are free, and you never lose a piece! My current puzzle is always in my pocket if I have free time...

What is a new hobby or interest that you've picked up in the past year?
Moving back to DFW re-introduced me to the joy of playing disc golf, but that's an old hobby, so I'm going to go with watching and following Formula 1 racing as something brand new to me over the past year.
It started with watching "Drive to Survive" on Netflix and turned into really enjoying the sport of F1! I'm a loyal Danny Ricciardo and Team McLaren fan now!
