ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
As we are required to hold a members meeting each year it cannot be postponed indefinitely so at the May Board meeting the decision was taken
to hold the meeting on August 18 th in place of our regularly scheduled Board meeting. This meeting is your opportunity to meet your current Board
members and to cast your vote for candidates to fill four positions on the Board. Two of these are currently held by Chris Cox and Bill Petry, both
of whom are prepared to serve further terms if reelected. The other two for which at this point there are no candidates are the positions to fill the
vacancies that will be left when our President, Ed Shipley, leaves the Board after our August meeting and the position that became available when
Larry Barrow resigned from the Board. All owners of record will be receiving by mail the official notification in accordance with our Bylaws. This
notification will also include a proxy/absentee ballot form for the use of anyone who is unable to attend the meeting in person. You may use this form
to vote for a candidate or to assign your vote to another person who you choose to vote on your behalf or you can forego your vote and submit your
proxy for quorum purposes only. In order to conduct the meeting we must have a quorum of our members so it is very important that if you cannot
attend in person that you complete and submit your completed proxy/absentee ballot form in accordance with the instructions that will be included
in the package. A blank proxy form can also be printed from the link on the homepage of our website and forms are also available at the pool checkin
table. This meeting will be held in the clubhouse at 1602 Hoyt Lane on Tuesday, August 18 th . It will begin promptly at 7 PM following a 30-minute
registration period.
July YARD-OF-THE-MONTH
The Yard of the Month Award for July 2020 is presented to Burton and Diane Balch of 22310 Bucktrout Lane.
Burton and Diane have lived in the Settlement for 30 years and have been married for 43. They have two married sons and two 16 months old
grandchildren who were born 10 days apart. Both of their sons attended Williamsburg Settlement Elementary now named Diane Winborn Elementary.
Diane is an educator, employed as the registrar at Memorial High School in Spring Branch ISD. Burton is a Senior Principal Consultant for Aspen
Technology where he has worked for 39 years. The Balches say they both plan to retire next year. Burton and Diane are active members at St. Peter’s
Methodist Church. When time permits, they compete as ballroom dancers and were named outstanding amateur couple at two national competitions.
They said that since neither of them are gardeners they opted for hardy, low maintenance plants that provide seasonal color. These they augment
throughout the year with seasonal plants. Currently, caladiums and begonias offer a splash of red, azaleas and agapanthus bloom in the Spring giving
way to crepe myrtles and plumerias in the summer. In the fall and early winter their ShiShi camellias begin to bloom and flower. Japanese boxwoods
frame the other plants that accent their well-groomed yard.
Congratulations Burton and Diane Balch on receiving the July 2020 Yard of the Month. The beauty you add to our neighborhood is greatly appreciated.

PET ID TAGS
Folks - as soon as the vet gives your young pets their Rabies shot
remember to get their ID tags. The Rabies tag lists the name, phone
number and address of the vet. So! All you need to do is put the Rabies
tag onto the pet’s collar and leave it there all the time. That way, if the
pet gets loose, anyone finding him or her can look at the tag to see the
vet’s phone number and call to report the lost animal. Better yet, add
another tag to your pet’s collar that lists the dog or cat’s name and your
own phone number or address. You can get these from any pet store.
When a pet has these but goes astray, anyone finding it can call you and
you can go get him or her right away. Your pet will be very glad to see
you! A happy pet is a loving pet.

STREET LIGHT OUTAGES
To report a burned out streetlight, any resident may call CenterPoint
directly at 713-207-2222. However, for those with Internet access, you may
also make this report on-line. For those interested, you can go to http://
cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage. Then enter your contact details so that
they can get back to you if more information is required. On the following
page enter the details of the light(s) with the problem. Just as you would
if reporting the outage via the telephone, you will need to provide the
street address where the light is located and the 6-digit number that is
prominently displayed on the front of the pole. Under normal circumstances
the crew will be out to fix the problem within 7 working days.
Anyone noticing a streetlight that is out or has some other malfunction is
encouraged to report the problem to CenterPoint via either of these two
methods without delay. Our Association is charged for every streetlight
each month, irrespective of whether or not the light is functioning. So
please help us get value for your hard earned money!

VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH LEASH LAW
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents.
While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone
who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of
animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting
hurt trying to avoid the animal.
Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control)
advises that, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the
unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or
cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat or
to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”
Restraint is defined as the control of a dog or cat under the following
circumstances:
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more then six (6) feet in
length, if the line or leash is held by a human being who is capable of
controlling or governing the dog or cat in question.
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle.
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not
have access to sidewalk to street.
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work
or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained.
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all
our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect
anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet
owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing
to properly restrain their pet.

NATIONAL DOG DAY - AUGUST 26 TH
This day encourages dog ownership of all breeds. Whether mixed or
purebred, embrace the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and
abuse-free life. Dogs give us companionship; they keep us safe and they
aid those in need. It is a goal for many on this day to find homes for all
dogs in need of a loving family. The purpose of the National Dog Day
Foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs each year.
A dog is man’s best friend. When dogs find a forever home, their
companionship creates lifelong benefits. They bring with them joy,
loyalty and devotion. Eventually, no matter the breed, these pets become
family.
Take your dog for a walk. If you do not have a dog, ask to take your
neighbor’s dog for a stroll or volunteer at a shelter.

we have two plans - Plan A is to have the big event. Plan B is to have
a virtual event that may be held in various neighborhoods, businesses,
schools and other smaller communities where people can come together
and Walk to End Alzheimer’s. In addition to the 3-mile walk, participants
will enjoy a fun-filled experience that includes valuable information,
celebrations, entertainment, corporate sponsors and so much more.
Participants can join a team or register to walk as an individual at ​www.
alz.org/walk​. Even though the office has been closed, the Alzheimer’s
Association has continued to offer support through various avenues than
before the stay-at-home order. The 24/7 Free Hotline can be a lifeline for
those who suffer from the disease and those who care for them, call
800-272-3900. Support Groups are meeting virtually, please check www.
alz.org for times and locations. Facebook Live sessions are held every
Wednesday at 11 AM. Find the live sessions and lots of other programs
and events on the Facebook page, “Alzheimer’s Association: Houston &
Southeast Texas Chapter.” Virtual classes are offered to cover many issues
each week. To join one of the virtual programs, please visit www.alz.org/
crf​or call 800-272-3900.

25 CAMPGROUNDS WITHIN/AROUND
2 HOURS OF HOUSTON TX
It’s summertime and that means it’s time to get out the camping gear, fishing
poles and sun screen! There’s no better way to relax than to sit outside of the
tent you just set up and breathe in.
SAM HOUSTON NATIONAL PARK: NEW WAVERLY, TX
This gorgeous national park offers tent pads, picnic tables, parking spurs
for trailers, lantern posts, grills, potable water, and toilets. Hiking is very
popular in the spring when the climate is milder. Water activities get
going in the summer on Double Lake with canoes and paddleboats that
can be rented from the park. Deer is the most popular game animal in the
Sam Houston National Forest, with squirrels second. Quail and dove are
found around newly regenerated timberland. For the water sportsman,
fishing and duck hunting can be enjoyed on area lakes and streams.
BRAZOS BEND: NEEDVILLE, TX
This park has got plenty of options for activities during your stay. Lots
of trails, some of which are even wheelchair friendly, wind through the
woods and bring you to the water’s edge of the lake. Just make sure you’ve
brushed up on your alligator safety because they’re not uncommon in
certain areas of the park. Aside from walking or biking the trails, there’s
also the option of horseback riding on one of the multiuse trails.
LAKE CONROE KOA: MONTGOMERY, TX
Here’s a KOA that’s got your back this weekend if you’re trying to relax
to the max. Bring your RV here, up to 80’ and enjoy the cable tv, wifi,
hookups and pools to lounge in all day. If you haven’t got an RV, don’t
feel left out! You can stay in one of the 35 cabins that have bathrooms and
a full kitchen. Tent campers are welcome as well. Visitors can explore the
area and find the nearby golf course, restaurants and the lake has plenty
of recreational activities.
GALVESTON ISLAND STATE PARK: GALVESTON, TX
This park is a freaking island, so as far as camping goes you really can’t
go wrong with this option. There is hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching
and lots more. One of the many things that make this island campground
unique is the paddle trails they boast. Though, if you decide to go on these,
you’ll need to bring your own canoe or kayak because they don’t rent them
out. Outside the campground, there is an educational theme park called
Moody Gardens. Bring the kids along and there’ll be plenty of nature for
people of various interests to enjoy and participate in during the stay.
STEPHEN F. AUSTIN STATE PARK: SAN FELIPE, TX
This lovely State Park has six miles of hiking trails that are open to bikers
as well. Campsites have full hookups and some sites even hold up to 60

SEA RIM STATE PARK: SABINE PASS, TX
This park has 4,000 acres of marsh and a boardwalk going through so you
can enjoy without getting your feet wet. Campers, cabin-dwellers and
RV-goers all have a place here at Sea Rim State Park. Feel free to fish from
the boardwalk or explore with your rented or own canoe or kayak. Sea
Rim also has the option to explore its grounds from home via their virtual
tour of the trails map.
NORTHLAKE RV RESORT: HOUSTON, TX
Come to Northlake RV Resort if you’re looking for a nice and relaxing place
to kick your feet up and breathe deeply. This resort has got a massive list of
amenities so it’s ridiculous to try to write them all here, but if you’re interested
you should definitely check out their website. Some of the best aspects of
this resort are the park-wide wifi, the stocked fishing lakes and the fire pits.
This place allows for extended stays and weekend trips, so regardless of your
plans you’ll definitely have plenty of options right next to home!
TRADERS VILLAGE RV RESORT:
Traders Village is a short drive for you and a wonderful place to stay. The
electric and water hookups are free, there is a pool for swimming, and
there’s wifi. Bring your picnic supplies so you can eat outside at the picnic
tables while enjoying the weather. You’re welcome to lounge around
and enjoy relaxing or you can go next door to the flea market that hosts
events and activities for visitors.
ALLSTAR RV RESORT: HOUSTON, TX
At AllStar RV Resort, they’ve got anything you could need while camping
in your RV and more. If you’ve got yourself a Fido who wanders himself
into a smelly situation, there’s a dog washing station here for your (and
your nose’s) convenience. Take advantage of the swimming pool, the
computer room, the recreation room and more. There’s also a stadium
nearby for baseball fans to watch their games.
ESCAPE THE PAVEMENT: HOUSTON, TX
There are actually two camping sites associated with Escape the Pavement
near Houston. There are four aspects to Escape the Pavement: Heyne
Ranch, Lake Houston Wilderness Park, Blackwood Land Institute and Big
Thicket National Preserve. It’s actually super great, because no matter
your flavor preference of outdoors experience, this place has got you. One
is a ranch for you and your horse to enjoy pastures, rivers and wooded
trails; perfect for a day trip. You’ll also love the bonfires on the beach! One
of their campgrounds has over 4,000 acres of forest and a creek that you
can go ahead and explore the trails winding around through it on your
horse, bike or on foot. The other area available for camping is restricted to
primitive camping only because it is located on a preserve. Lastly, the land
institute is a great educational place for kids and adults alike. Check out
their website if any of these interest you and start planning a trip!
LAKE SOMERVILLE: SOMERVILLE, TX
The campground and park are also full of opportunities for fun in the sun.
Water activities like swimming, skiing, fishing, and the likes are all great
ideas on Lake Somerville. There are picnic areas for campers or day hikers
to sit, enjoy the view, and munch on their sandwiches. Birdwatching,
volleyball, hiking and horseback riding are popular pass times. Overall,
this is a wonderful place to relax and play in the great outdoors.

SHELDON LAKE STATE PARK: HOUSTON, TX
Sheldon Lake State Park is open to fishing and wildlife observation. You’re
welcome to take your boat out for a ride or fish off the banks, so long as
you’re wary of the alligators inhabiting the park. The learning center has
tons of activities for the kids that you can sign up for and enjoy. Some
of these activities are more hands-on, like catch and release fishing
and some are visual demonstrations like green building technologies
or smart wildscape demonstrations for gardening and using beautiful
native plants.
BASTROP STATE PARK: BASTROP, TX
A forest with a history and personality, the Lost Pines located on Bastrop
State Park used to be a luscious and well-groomed forest before being
damaged by floods and fires. Now, the forest’s recovery is just as beautiful
a sight. The story itself is a perfect reason to visit, but Bastrop also has
swimming, biking, hiking and geocaching as an incentive. If you’re
looking to exploring the surrounding area, Bastrop also has museums
and restaurants to check out on your vacation!
BUESCHER STATE PARK: SMITHVILLE, TX
Experienced bicyclists looking for a challenge will enjoy the bike trails
here at Buescher State Park. This park connects with Bastrop State Park via
a paved road with great views of the area. Unfortunately, there is currently
no swimming in this park, but if you adventure the short commute to the
nearby Bastrop you’ll find a nice swimming pool for visitors like yourself.
Lastly, if you’re hankering to float along in a tandem kayak or a canoe, you
can do so through rental at Buescher State Park.
LOCKHART STATE PARK: SMITHVILLE, TX
This park has a pool, grounds for camping, trails to hike and a nine-hole
golf course among many other things that allow you to get active! If you
want to go fishing but don’t want to lug around your equipment, you’re
in luck! The park has fishing equipment available for guests to use during
their stay. If you’re looking to have a gathering of people for a family or
church event, there is a Group Recreation Hall that also has a kitchen
capable of holding up to 75 people at once.
LAKE LIVINGSTON: LIVINGSTON, TX
If you’re looking for a beautiful place to host a family reunion, try looking
here! Campsites have full hookups and there are rentable screen shelters
as well. As long as you’re wary of the alligators that dwell in the area,
visitors can enjoy camping, hiking, birding, swimming, and biking. On
your way in and out you can stop at the souvenir shop that sells treats
and equipment!
LAKE LIVINGSTON KOA: ONALASKA, KOA
Here’s a popular KOA that you’ll probably need to make a reservation for
ahead of time to ensure you get yourself a spot for the night. There is
a beautiful pool with lounge chairs for you to relax and sink into while
soaking in the sun. Your kids will enjoy the playground. If you love
enjoying the great outdoors and its many inhabitants, there is a local bald
eagle named Eddie who supposedly flies around the area frequently.
There is also fishing, a pavilion to admire the scenery in, and is known for
the sunset views.
VILLAGE CREEK STATE PARK: LUMBERTON, TX
Campers interested in sleeping in tents, RVs or cabins are welcome here.
You’ll be able to go swimming, fishing, biking, hiking and more with your
friends and family. If you prefer to learn about your surroundings and its
history rather than being emerged in the real deal, there are programs
and museums aplenty for you to observe and glean information from
during your stay.
PALMETTO STATE PARK: GONZALES, TX
This little oasis has a multitude of thirsty plants that cannot live in other
areas due to the lack of water. The park is named for the dwarf palmettos
that grow beneath the trees. As a visitor, you can also enjoy the copious
amounts of flowing and stagnant water by swimming, tubing, fishing
and canoeing. Those interested in keeping dry will enjoy bird watching,
hiking, geocaching or staring at the dwarf palmettos.
VICTORIA COLETO CREEK LAKE KOA: VICTORIA, TX
Come to this RV and tent camping site to enjoy the lovely wildflowers,
scattered oaks, birds and other wildlife. There is a pond with catfish that you
can relax on the edge of while fishing and other areas for freshwater fishing.
The winters are not as frigid as up north, so you can always count on decent
weather should you decide to vacation here! There are plenty of places in the
area for you to check out, making it perfect for both short or extended stays.

Garden Tips For August
• Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.
• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood.
Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron
cheleates.
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around
the roots.
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth.
• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.
• Chinch bug damage is obvious now. You will have areas of thin and/
or dead turf where they weren’t brought under control. There is a new
generation going now. This batch causes the most damage. Use Dursban
to stop the damage.
• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St. Augustine grass grows slowly.
If you fill in with sod, don’t expect a fast turnaround. The sod may look
like it’s not growing while it puts down roots. You will need to water the
new sod often and deeply to get it started but this also creates a disease
environment. Water early so the sun can dry the turf.
• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till them up, add organic material,
mix it in, then let them cure for a month or so. Add in any amendments
like micro-nutrients. Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms have a
favorable environment.
