Volunteers Have the Most Fun

Grandmothers and Grandfathers often have interesting sayings, and it is funny how they take on different meanings as we grow wiser. One of them is “Many hands make light work”. At first, we understand that it is easier to accomplish a big task with more people. Later, we come to see that light work has a happy connotation, too. It can be fun to work with others and make new friends – a time to feel invited and included.

Looking at the list of the HOA Board Members for 2024, you can see we are small in number but big in heart. With only five members, 2024 is the Year of the Volunteers.

Rather than have one or two people manage everything, we are looking for people to take on smaller projects. The primary activities for the HOA include items listed below.

​

Board Member

Members are elected at the Annual meeting in November for 3-year terms. Board meetings are once a month on the second Monday from 5 to 6 PM. If you want to support the neighborhood and can commit to attending the majority of meetings, then we want to talk with you.

​

HOA Signs

Manage our neighborhood entrance signs and put out and pick up special signs (oak wilt, order trees, and Light Contest winners). You need a place to store the signs, as well as occasionally repositioning the entrance signs. There only are three times these signs are put out and picked up.

Fourth of July Parade

Many preparatory tasks such as storing the popsicles in your large freezer, making notification postcards to people who live along the route, planning with the fire department and our constable, and organizing activities and tokens for the children. There are feet on street activities such as setting flags along the route, wrangling golf carts and bicycles, and setting up tables. There are plenty ways to volunteer here.

Annual Meeting (November)

Working with Balcones CC to secure the rooms, select food, arrange information tables with service providers, and more.

Assisting with the Christmas Trees

Working with Jason Lee and HOA Communications to organize volunteers to unload the trees Friday night and loading trees in trucks for neighborhood delivery Saturday morning (bringing snacks each time, which are paid for by the HOA). Also, manage helpers for people needing assistance setting up trees.

Holiday Lights Contest

Working with HOA Communications, organize volunteers, email score sheets, etc., answering questions, and getting results to person counting the votes. All is done by email over a four-week period.

Photographers

Many of your phones have great cameras and are perfect for all our occasions. The Fourth of July Parade is a large event, followed by the Holiday Lights winners, and the other activities need photos, too. 

HOA Website

Help with managing the WIX website. Some WIX or website experience needed.
