CHRISTMAS 

HOLIDAY YARD 

CONTEST WINNERS 

Once again we had a great time with our annual Christmas 

Holiday Yard contest. Just as we did last year, instead of letting 

one or two Board members make the decision we passed it on 

to you, our residents. This year for the first time an additional 

category of Best Mailbox was also added. The judges made 

their initial selection of the ten light displays which they 

considered to be most deserving of recognition. From the 

ten homes selected and the mailbox candidates all registered 

residents were invited to make their choice. The yard which 

received the most votes was recognized as taking first place 

with the two runners up taking second and third places and 

the mailbox award was given to the one that received the 

most votes in that category. 

The three homes, together with the Best Mailbox, had the 

corresponding award sign placed in their yard. 

The Board gives it’s thanks to all the residents who participated 

both in decorating their homes and in the selection of this 

year’s winners, as well as to Board member Chris Cox who did 

an outstanding job of organizing and managing this event.

JANUARY YARD-OF-THE-MONTH 

As we finish up 2020 and begin a new year the Yard of the Month for January 2021 is being awarded to The Lynch family 

of 22534 Prince George Street. 

The Lynches have lived in the Settlement for 33 years. They have a dog and two grown daughters who attended Winborn 

Elementary school. 

Mrs. Lynch is a retired school teacher whose hobbies include cooking, baking, animal rescue, fostering felines and when 

relaxing enjoys movies and reading. 

The Lynch’s yard, well balanced in design, consists of two different size Japanese blueberry trees that accent both the 

front entry and the corners of their home. The front beds, each bordered with natural looking stone, are filled with wellmanicured 

boxwoods and are garnished with colorful snapdragons. You’ll notice several large flowerpots filled with 

snapdragons, dusty miller and red and pink cyclamen. The large oak tree in the front is bordered by natural looking stone 

and is surrounded with a golden glove ground cover that blooms with beautiful yellow flowers in both summer and 

spring. Azaleas on the side bloom with lovely colors in the spring. Ferns, ivy, pink knockout roses, snapdragons and a 

variety of flowers, finish out the backyard. 

The Lynches said that with the Settlement’s great location, seeing so many families walking together, bike riding, 

pet walking, kids playing at the parks and the memories over the years, makes for a very outstanding family-friendly 

neighborhood. 

Congratulations to the Lynch Family for being the recipient of the Yard of the Month for January 2021. Your continued 

addition to the beauty of the Settlement all these years is greatly appreciated.

A SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR NEW RESIDENTS 

As soon as Crest, our Association’s management company, receives 

notification from the title company of an ownership change this 

information will be conveyed to our Welcoming Committee. Although 

the committee is currently working off a backlog due to the COVID-19 

situation, as soon as it is able one or more of its members will attempt to 

contact the new residents to deliver a “Welcome to the Neighborhood” 

package. This committee is headed by Board member Michael Wood ably 

assisted by Krystin Gillogly and Deni McKay. If you are not at home when 

they visit you will receive a notification of the attempt and asked when 

would be the best time to drop off the package. As well as welcoming 

you the purpose of this welcoming function is to give you the basic 

information on the services that are provided to Settlement residents 

and to acquaint you with the many benefits of living here. Your Board of 

Directors work hard to communicate with our residents to ensure that 

everyone is provided with timely notification of neighborhood issues 

and know how to get a rapid response to any questions or concerns 

they may have. In addition to this newsletter, key tools in this process 

are the Association website and the email distribution list to which all 

residents are encouraged to subscribe via the website’s Registration 

page. If you are reading this newsletter on our website but have not yet 

subscribed to the email list you are encouraged to do so. To be added to 

the email list, go the Registration page and enter your street and email 

addresses on the window that will open. When you have submitted your 

entry you will receive a confirming email from Campaigner, the company 

that handles our bulk email service, to which you must respond before 

your subscription becomes effective. Please be assured that the email 

addresses that you register will not be divulged to any third party. The 

entry of addresses to this list is handled automatically and they will be 

used solely for the purpose of distribution of emails by the webmaster to 

those who have registered.

The address of the official Williamsburg Settlement website is: www. 

wsmaonline.org. This site includes information on all aspects of our 

subdivision so if you have a question, please look for the answer on this 

site and if you can’t find what you are looking for feel free to telephone 

any of the Board members listed on the Board Members page or submit 

your question on the website’s Feedback/Questions form and you will 

receive a rapid response. 

In addition, Crest has a secure website on which there is a portal 

that residents can use to make payments or just to access detailed 

information on their individual accounts. Each resident is sent a personal 

ID code once their information is entered into the Crest database. This 

website also provides a number of additional on-line services so once 

you are registered please take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with 

the features it provides. 

There are also Facebook and Nextdoor accounts set up by Williamsburg 

Settlement residents that many like to use to communicate and share 

information with their neighbors. Of these, Facebook is the most popular 

and has a very active following. These sites are not officially monitored by 

the Board so be aware that they should not be considered as sources of 

definitive information. 

And lastly, your Board would like to encourage you to attend its monthly 

meetings. With very few exceptions, these are held at the clubhouse, 1602 

Hoyt Lane, and begin at 5:30 PM on the third Tuesday of each month. The 

monthly meeting schedule is posted on the web site’s Board Meeting 

page from where you can also read the minutes of past meetings for this 

and the previous year. A few days prior to each meeting the agenda is 

emailed to residents who have registered their addresses on the website. 

Please come and introduce yourselves. Your Board would love to meet 

you in person and welcome you to the Settlement!

CLUBHOUSE RENTALS 

Although this and other newsletter editions are still containing the 

clubhouse and pool rental information, due to the Corona virus 

pandemic rentals are not currently allowed as they would violate the 

Harris County guidance under which we are operating. As stated in the 

minutes of the November 17 th WSMA Board meeting, the Board reviewed 

this subject and decided that rentals won’t be considered until the Harris 

County COVID-19 Threat Level is reduced to Moderate, Level 3. At that 

point the Board will review the situation and what protocol should be 

established to ensure that our facilities can be reopened safely. The Board 

understands that the continued closure is causing disappointment, but 

believes it would be irresponsible to open the clubhouse for rentals until 

it can be done in conformance with the Harris County guidance. 

BOARD MEETING MINUTES 

There are no minutes to include in this newsletter as there was no Board 

meeting in December. The March edition will contain the draft minutes 

of the January meeting. 

NEXT WSMA BOARD MEETING 

The next meeting of the WSMA Board of Directors will be held in the 

clubhouse on Hoyt Lane at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. If you 

wish to be placed on the agenda, please contact Cindy Bojé of Crest no 

later than the Tuesday preceding the meeting date.

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!

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. 

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. 

KATY AREA PLAYGROUP 

A Katy area playgroup for stay at home moms and their infant-preschool 

aged children in the Williamsburg area meets every Monday at different 

locations. If you interested in participating or finding out more about the 

playgroup, please contact the playgroup coordinator, Laura Bannerman, 

at llbannerman@gmail.com. Please share this information with neighbors 

and friends!

NATIONAL BIRD FEEDING MONTH 

During National Bird Feeding Month in February, keep the bird feeders 

filled and your binoculars ready. 

Bird watching and feeding have become a popular hobby. By providing 

basic shelter and seed, hobbyists watch from their windows or along 

trails. 

• Be sure to feed regularly and place your feeder away from predators. 

• Set binoculars near the window for best viewing. 

• Obtain a bird book for identifying new species. 

Fill up the bird feeder or add one this month. In 1994, Congressman John 

Porter established February as National Bird Feeding Month due to the 

harsh conditions endured during one of the coldest months of the year.

STUDENT COVID-19 TESTING SITE 

The District offers a FREE rapid COVID-19 testing option to enrolled Katy ISD students and employees. The FREE test is in collaboration 

with the Texas Education Agency’s COVID-19 Testing Project. The test consists of a nasal-based testing option (saliva-based option is 

still pending) with results in 20 minutes. 

The rapid, free tests are available at the District’s Agricultural Sciences Center located at 5801 Katy Hockley Cut-Off Road, Monday- 

Friday, 7:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. and on Saturdays 8:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. To help expedite free student COVID-19 testing, while practicing 

social distancing at the testing site, Katy ISD has established a Student COVID-19 Testing Sign-Up form that allows families to secure 

an appointment time for their student(s). The sign-up can be done at this direct link here. The testing site contact is (281) 396-7749. 

Employees do not require an appointment to be tested for free, though are requested to arrive at least 30 minutes before the posted 

closing time, to abide by the facilities schedules. Employees' dependents who are not on their Katy ISD insured parents' health care 

plan may elect to pay the $125 fee to test with their parents at the site, or if the child is a Katy ISD enrolled student, he/she may 

schedule an appointment through the Student Testing Appointment Scheduler, and test for free. 

KATY ISD SEEKS 2021 BOND TO 

ADDRESS RAPID STUDENT GROWTH 

As families continue to move west of the Houston Metro area to enroll 

their children in the fastest-growing school district in Texas, tonight Katy 

Independent School District Board of Trustees discussed a Community 

Bond Advisory Committee (CBAC) coming together to review capital 

needs in consideration of a May 2021 Bond Referendum. 

Located within 181 square miles and serving more than 84,000 students 

at 71 campuses and facilities, Katy ISD is the sixth-largest school district in 

Texas known for its high academic performance, its award-winning staff 

and its highly sought out school programs, among other extra-curricular 

activities. On average, Katy ISD is enrolling an additional 2,400 students 

every school year with a projected enrollment of more than 100,000 

learners by 2027. Enrollment increases are taking place most significantly 

in the northwest quadrant of Katy ISD, where new communities are being 

developed and are expected to flourish within the next decade. 

The CBAC’s planning and review of capital needs will include reviewing 

enrollment projections, the need for new schools and facilities to address 

capacity limitations while paying close attention to renovations and 

component replacements necessary at aging campuses and buildings. 

Within the brick and mortar schools, additional areas affecting the 

growing student population are technology upgrades and safety and 

security projects to support learners and staff needs. Katy ISD has a 

history of approving bonds, which dates back to at least 1994. In 2017, 

school community voters approved a $609,204,553 bond with a no tax 

rate increase. It provided for six new schools, a major comprehensive 

renovation at one campus, component replacements, expansions and 

safety and technology improvements among other items. Katy ISD 

anticipates being able to deliver once again on a zero tax rate increase. 

Due to the District’s safety protocols, only three socially distanced, inperson 

CBAC meetings will take place during the process. Committee 

members will have the opportunity to review, vet and decide upon the 

capital projects to be included in the school district’s bond package, 

should they determine a need to recommend a referendum. During 

the bond meetings, staff will provide in-depth background information 

associated with long-range needs, demographics and finances, which 

will allow the CBAC to finalize a bond package to present to the Board of 

Trustees on Monday, February 8 th during a Special Board meeting.

NAMI and 30% to buy a bunch of masks and canned food for donation.

FEBRUARY FUN FACT 

With only 28 days to its credit (except during leap year), February wasn’t 

always so short. It was originally a 30 day month, falling at the end of 

the calendar. When Julius Caesar changed the months around, February 

became the second month of the year. He also took away one day and 

added it to the month, which was named for him (July). The emperor 

Augustus deducted another day and made August a 31 day month.
