Free Water Irrigation<br />
System Evaluation<br />
Any homeowner in MUD 50 can get a FREE evaluation of their irrigation/<br />
sprinkler system. There’s a program being offered by your water supplier<br />
and the North Fort Bend Water Authority! You are invited to sign up today<br />
for the FREE evaluation by a licensed irrigator… The W.I.S.E Guys. There<br />
is no obligation on a homeowner’s part to purchase anything. You have<br />
nothing to lose, but you could learn a lot. You will be provided with a<br />
comprehensive evaluation of your system - checking the water patterns<br />
of your sprinklers and frequency settings of the controller. You will have<br />
access to the results on-line to help you learn how to use water more<br />
efficiently on yard and landscaped areas. That’s it…no pressure… you<br />
decide how to use the information. Why waste any more water… or<br />
money? Make an appointment now! Look for the details on-line at: www.<br />
nfbwa.com/wiseguys<br />
Keeping Informed!<br />
Please sign up through the community portal at https://ciranet.com/<br />
ResidentPortal, join our Facebook page at <strong>Parkway</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> for the most<br />
current information about our community. Those of you who have<br />
already volunteered to participate in the future will be contacted shortly<br />
to plan upcoming events. Those of you who have yet to do so, please<br />
come to any future meeting being announced and join in!<br />
Neighborhood/Crime Watch<br />
We can all participate in our Neighborhood/Crime Watch! It is easy! It’s<br />
about neighbors looking out for each other.<br />
When suspecting criminal activities, you are encouraged to contact the<br />
police and not to intervene. Call Fort Bend Sheriff at 281-341-4665. An<br />
alert and supportive neighborhood is the greatest single defense against<br />
crime. By getting to know your neighbors and their vehicles, you will<br />
most likely be aware of suspicious people, vehicles and/or sounds that<br />
could indicate criminal activity. Be a good neighbor. Report suspicious<br />
activity to the police.<br />
Attention! Pet Poops / You Scoop<br />
Please be respectful of community grounds and neighbors’ yards. If your<br />
pet poops during your walk, be prepared to scoop and trash. Come with<br />
a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. It may not be the<br />
most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show your respect for<br />
every homeowner and our beautiful community.<br />
Please Note - Pets On Leashes<br />
It is the law in Fort Bend County that all pets must be vaccinated for<br />
rabies, registered and restrained. All animals, when outside of an owner’s<br />
means of restraint (i.e., in a fenced back yard), must be on a leash. For the<br />
safety of all residents, please use all precautions with your pets and<br />
keep them on leashes when walking pets in the community EVEN IF<br />
YOU FEEL YOUR PET IS HARMLESS. If you see ANY animal roaming freely<br />
in the neighborhood, immediately call Animal Control at 281-342-1512.<br />
Even if you recognize the animal, be very careful approaching it, as you<br />
do not know how it will react; if you can safely retrieve the animal, then<br />
call the owner. Otherwise, Animal Control is your best and safest option.<br />

website - at www.katychamber.com - is centered around easy access to<br />
information so that visitors can navigate easily to the information they<br />
want and need.<br />
“The Katy Area has a healthy business climate, thriving communities<br />
and an excellent quality of life” Matthew Ferraro, Katy Area Chamber<br />
President, said. “Our new website highlights what the Katy Area<br />
Chamber is doing to promote and support these things. It can do a lot,<br />
join the Chamber; renew your membership; learn about getting involved;<br />
learn about our programs; calendar of events; find job openings from<br />
members; show member to member deals; find your local elected<br />
officials; contact chamber staff and much, much more.”<br />
In addition to the many things members can do, the Chamber will use the<br />
new website much more frequently to communicate with businesses and<br />
communities as well as conduct Chamber business. For more information<br />
about the Katy Area Chamber or its new website, please contact Matthew<br />
Ferraro, Katy Area Chamber President/CEO, at 281-391-5289.<br />
NATIONAL COURTESY MONTH<br />
It takes little effort to extend kindness. The entire month of <strong>September</strong><br />
gives ample opportunity to practice being kind. It’s National Courtesy<br />
Month! The word courteous comes from the Middle English word<br />
‘kindness,’ which means ‘noble deeds’ or ‘courtesy.’ One of the greatest<br />
novelists in the English Language, Henry James, once said: “Three things<br />
in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be<br />
kind; the third is to be kind.” So, what does it mean to be courteous?<br />
Courtesy can mean several things to different people. To some, being<br />
courteous means to be helpful. To others, being courteous means to be<br />
polite and having good manners. Courtesy can be words spoken or an<br />
action towards someone. Courtesy is about manners and respect. How<br />
you choose to show someone courtesy is entirely up to you! A single<br />
kind word keeps one warm for three winters - Chinese Proverb Courtesy<br />
should never have limits for people you know. Showing a stranger<br />
common courtesy could be the defining factor of their day. Oftentimes, a<br />
small gesture, such as a compliment, can make a person feel appreciated.<br />
When people are considerate to one another, a positive effect happens.<br />
Moods improve and smiles are easily found. Starting your day with a<br />
polite demeanor will have a ripple effect for the people you encounter!<br />
There are so many ways to show kindness to people through courtesy.<br />
Hold the door open for the people behind you! Mow your elderly<br />
neighbor’s lawn! Compliment that shy person you see every day on the<br />
bus! Above all, SMILE at everyone you meet!<br />
