Attention Walkers!!

 We are always concerned about the safety of our residents and pets in our neighborhood.  If you plan to walk at night when it cools off, please wear REFLECTIVE and LIGHT colored-clothing.  Consider outfitting your dog with a reflective collar and better yet, get one which has a built-in light tube that you can turn on & off.  Be safe and wear clothing to make yourself highly visible - don't take any chances on your safety in the darkness and help drivers see you!

Dear Homeowner,
 
Welcome to another edition of the Hidden Springs Newsletter.  I do hope your summer is going well and you've had a chance to enjoy our community pool.  It certainly brings welcome relief during these hot summers.  Don't forget you may reserve the pool pavilion for your private small function so please don't hesitate to request it for your next event.  Please note however that the Pool itself cannot be reserved, just the Pavilion area.
 
We've had some exciting changes to our Board with new Members that were voted in at our last Annual Homeowners' Meeting in March.  If you happen to run into them or speak via 'phone, please thank them for the wonderful job they are doing.  As I'm sure most of you are aware
we are a self-managed Association and the willingness of our volunteer homeowners to help in all aspects of the management of our Association is very much appreciated.  Without them, there would be no HOA and we would be forced to use an expensive Management Company that does not do as great a job as we can do ourselves at a fraction of the cost!
 
Don't forget to SAVE THE DATE - Sunday October 26th, 2008 from 4-6pm when we will be having a Halloween Party for all Hidden Springs Ranch Residents at the Pool Pavilion, see below for more details! 
  
In closing I look forward to the opportunity to meet our new families and say hello to the ones who've been here a while.  If you ever have any ideas or suggestions for improvements around Hidden Springs Ranch please don't hesitate to call the HOA number or drop us an email.
 
 
Best regards,
Ellen Marchand
HSRHOA President

REMINDER OF COMMUNITY POOL RULES
Calculator

Everyone needs to take a few minutes and review the rules posted at the pool. There are some that are not being followed which need to be addressed:
 

No one UNDER 12 YEARS OF AGE permitted in the pool area without someone over the age of 18.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

NO Food or Smoking in the Pool Area
 

JUST A REMINDER - We are a self managed association and it is everyone's responsibility to pickup after themselves in the pool/pavilion area, lock bathrooms, put Polaris back in pool and make sure the pool gate in closed. 
 
Thank you for your support!
Thank you Hidden Springs Ranch! 
From Hays County ESD #6 Fire Rescue


 
Dear Hidden Springs Ranch Homeowners,
 
On behalf of Chief Gothard and the Hays County Emergency Services District # 6 Fire Rescue, we wanted to say thank you for allowing us to use the pool at the Hidden Springs Ranch. Our department put on a Scuba Diving class which is the first part of a Rescue Divers certification. This class would not have been possible without the support of the Hidden Springs Ranch Home Owners Association and the members of the Association. The class was a huge success. If there is ever anything our Fire Department can do for you or the Home Owners Association please do not hesitate to contact us. I thank you again on behalf of the Hays County ESD #6 and I look forward to possibly working with you in the future. 
 
Sincerely,
 
ERAN DENZLER
BATTALION CHIEF, HENLY BATTALION
