MESA-OUTREACH FOOD DRIVE - MAY 9, <strong>2020</strong><br />

MESA-OUTREACH is still open and distributing food and produce to area residents in need. Because of the Covid-19 invasion, MESA is experiencing a significant increase<br />

in clientele while at the same time suffering from large reductions in donations. If you are able to help, please consider donating basic food items during MESA’s<br />

upcoming food drive on Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 9, <strong>2020</strong> from 9 AM-1 PM. The most critical items are provided on the list below. We will be accepting donations in the parking<br />

lot of Bear Creek United Methodist Church at 16000 Rippling Water Dr. Houston 77084. Please stay in your car and we will unload your donations for you.<br />

The MESA Food Pantry is open on the 2 nd and 4 th Tuesday evenings of each month from 5-7:30 PM. The Produce Truck distributions are on the 3 rd Saturday morning of<br />

each month, with distribution from 8:30-11:00 AM. The distributions are staffed by MESA’s volunteer HEROS using a drive-through distribution methodology.<br />

• Financial donations are also needed to purchase certain types of food and other needed items. Donations may be made online through our website at www.mesaoutreach.org.<br />

Without your help, MESA will not be able to serve the increasing needs of those in our community.<br />

• Critical Pantry Needs: Spaghetti Sauce • Boxed Cereal • Rice or Dry Beans - 1# or 2# packages • Macaroni and Cheese • Boxed Potatoes • All types of Soup (Broth,<br />

Creams, Chunky) • Canned Meats: Chicken, Tuna, Salmon, Chili, etc. • Canned Fruits • Jelly<br />

Together, we can serve to bring hope and positively impact the lives of others. THANK YOU for your supporting your neighbors in need and MESA-OUTREACH, INC.<br />

Preventing the spread of<br />

COR NAVIRUS<br />

Houston Methodist is committed to keeping Houstonians safe during the coronavirus outbreak. While most people<br />

may only experience mild symptoms, it’s important to keep those who are more vulnerable safe. By following these tips,<br />

along with guidance from the CDC and public health officials, you can help slow the spread of COVID-19.<br />

WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN.<br />

Proper hand hygiene can prevent the<br />

spread of viruses. Use an antibacterial soap,<br />

wash for 20 seconds and dry your hands<br />

thoroughly. If you don’t have soap, use hand<br />

sanitizer. Also, avoid touching your face,<br />

particularly your eyes, nose and mouth.<br />

PRACTICE COUGH ETIQUETTE.<br />

Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use<br />

a tissue when you cough or sneeze,<br />

dispose of it properly and then wash or<br />

sanitize your hands. Do not reuse your<br />

tissues.<br />

AVOID CLOSE CONTACT<br />

AND CROWDS.<br />

Practice social distancing: Keep about six<br />

feet away from others as often as possible.<br />

If you must venture out, try to go during<br />

non-peak hours.<br />

DISINFECT DAILY.<br />

Keeping your home clean and disinfected<br />

will prevent the spread of coronavirus,<br />

and any other lurking germs. Remember<br />

surfaces like faucets, door knobs,<br />

refrigerator door handles and toilets.<br />

SKIP HANDSHAKES AND HUGS.<br />

COVID-19 spreads primarily through<br />

person-to-person contact, via respiratory<br />

droplets formed when a sick person<br />

coughs or sneezes. Instead, consider<br />

waving or simply smiling and saying “hello.”<br />

SELF-QUARANTINE.<br />

When it comes to staying home, it’s<br />

better to be safe and stay put if you’ve<br />

traveled or come into contact with<br />

someone who has COVID-19 — even<br />

if you don’t have symptoms. If you start<br />

to feel ill, use telemedicine or call ahead<br />

before seeing your doctor.<br />

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SUSPECT YOU HAVE CORONAVIRUS: If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever, cough or<br />

difficulty breathing, you can speak to one of our Virtual Urgent Care providers in the MyMethodist app to help determine if testing is needed and advise<br />

2 you on where you should go. You can also call your doctor for medical advice.<br />

BRADFORD COLONY 1 & 2<br />

(BC1&2) NEWS FROM THE BOARD<br />

We are Texas Strong. We are Bradford Colony Strong. Save lives by staying at home. There is no easier<br />

way to save lives than this. You don’t have to be a front line worker, you don’t need PPE, you don’t<br />

need specific skills.<br />

By now we all should understand the importance of how we can stop the spread of this extremely<br />

contagious disease and contain it so not spread to our vulnerable population and overwhelm our<br />

healthcare systems. We stay home to save our loved ones, our neighbors and even people we do<br />

not know. Every community is affected and everyone can help to stop the spread of this disease.<br />

This article was written in early April so by the time this article comes out, we hope the coronavirus<br />

outbreak would have peaked in our area, but we still need to be diligent to continue to contain the<br />

outbreak. When community members work together, any crisis can be overcome.<br />

We want to thank all the essential workers who continue to provide services to communities -<br />

grocery stores workers, sanitation workers, EMS and all healthcare workers - we had never spent<br />

much time to realize how much they all do for us and how much we depend on them.<br />

If you have not signed up an account in TownSq, please do so. It is our official forum to communicate<br />

between homeowners and property management/Board. You can submit requests, ask questions<br />

etc… to and get replies from our property manager - Maggie McKay, while Board members can<br />

monitor the communications.<br />

During this Stay at Home period, we have moved our monthly meeting online. It is still being held<br />

on 2 nd Tuesday at 7 PM. Link on joining the meeting is posted in TownSq announcement.<br />

BRADFORD COLONY SECTION 3<br />

(BCS3) GARAGE SALES<br />

At present, there are no plans to have a neighborhood wide garage sale for BCS3 this year. But the<br />

Bylaws allow for individual residents to have up to four garage sales per year. If you are interested in<br />

having your own garage sale, please contact any Board member to let them know you are planning<br />

to do this. Thank you for your cooperation as to this issue.<br />

(BCS3) CONTACT THE BOARD<br />

As is the case with everything in our small neighborhood, every resident should feel free to contact<br />

any Board member as to any issue or question that you have about BCS3. Contact information for all<br />

the Board members is located inside of this publication.<br />

Happy Memorial Day!<br />

CHARLESTOWN COLONY<br />

(CHC) NOTES FROM THE BOARD<br />

Yard of the Month: Congratulations to 5614 E Towerglen Loop<br />

COVID 19<br />

We hope that everyone in the community continues to stay healthy and safe. For our elderly in<br />

Charlestown Colony, please do not be afraid to ask for help. We all have to come together as a<br />

community to help one another in these unprecedented times.<br />

We have continued to do, “Yard of the Month.” However, delivering the gift cards has been time<br />

consuming and a real challenge. If you won yard of the month and have not received your gift card,<br />

please contact Heather Palomo at 832-418-9020 to claim it. We haven’t heard from anyone.<br />

<strong>2020</strong> HOA Annual Assessments: If you have not paid the annual HOA dues by now, it is delinquent!<br />

New Application: https://app.townsq.io:<br />

The management company is using a new application which is much more robust than the<br />

previous online website. To register for the application, the HOA account number and an email<br />

address is needed. Within the application, HOA dues can be paid, messages can be sent to the<br />

management company, other requests for home improvement projects etc. can also be done by<br />

click or swipe.<br />

We will no longer tolerate work being done on the outside of the houses ie: roofing, paint or any<br />

additions without approval from the Board. If it continues the Board will take action. We all need to<br />

work together, every property owner has a copy of the homeowners association bylaws. In adhering<br />

to these rules all of us keep our property value up.<br />

Got The Nextdoor App? https://nextdoor.com/<br />

It only takes a few minutes to sign up and it helps keep everyone informed on current events in<br />

our area. If you see something, say something, because we are our best defense against crime and<br />

retaining our home values!<br />

Annual Dues Payment: Thank you to all who have paid your HOA dues! Since the Board has<br />

not increased the HOA dues for <strong>2020</strong>, there should be no excuse for paying delinquent!<br />

February 1 st , unpaid annual dues are considered delinquent and subject to late fees and<br />

penalties. Our management company has new policies and procedures in place to collect on<br />

past due HOA assessments. If these have not been paid yet, please make every effort to pay<br />

or make a payment arrangement. The Board worked diligently to maintain our HOA dues at<br />

$330 for <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

(YC) STAY AT HOME<br />

This is such an unprecedented time. If we all do our part to keep our distances and stay safe, we<br />

will help everyone. Staying at home, trying to develop a new routine, entertain yourself and your<br />

family, can seem overwhelming. Take each day as it comes. Take breaks outside your home - in your<br />

yard. Enjoy the weather and nature. Walk your dogs. You can still visit with neighbors across the<br />

driveway. Step out of yourself and check on older or infirmed neighbors. Ask if they need anything.<br />

Include them in your weekly shopping lists. Remember our animals need food supplies also. Flying<br />

M Feed Company - on FM 529 between Jackrabbit and Eldridge - is very friendly, well-stocked with<br />

dog, cat, rabbit, chicken food and supplies. They also deliver. Your Yorktown HOA Board wishes all<br />

good health and patience during this trying time.<br />

(YC) YARD OF THE MONTH<br />

Judging for yard of the month began in April. We will announce the April winner in the June issue.<br />

With the stay at home order, we may have more time to devote to our yards. Perhaps make it a<br />

family project to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. You still have time to get outside and make a<br />

difference. Happy planting.<br />

(YC) BE SAFE<br />

If you see something, say something. Call the sheriff’s department 713-221-6000. The officers that<br />

patrol our neighborhood are contracted by us and are here to protect us and our property. They have<br />

no concern of your immigration status, so please call the sheriff’s department Lock your car doors<br />
