YOUR HOA HAS BEEN
HARD AT WORK!
• All gates are now closed. Each gated section received a new
callbox, Transcore reader, and safety loops. For the sections with
the old callbox monument or gooseneck, we will be transferring
the new callboxes to the new callbox monuments. While the
transfer is in progress, the gates in the affected section will be
open until the transfer is completed. Once the transfer is complete
the old monument or gooseneck stand will be removed, gate
equipment will be tested to ensure it is operational and the gates
will be closed.
• CFISD buses have been entered into the new callbox so they can
open the gates automatically. Gates are now closed 24 hours a
day, seven days a week.
Cameras are being installed throughout the community at
common areas and gates
• The HOA approved adding new streetlights on Queenston,
Tuckerton, Cypress North Houston, Island Shores Circle, and
Bakers Village. The HOA maintained streetlights at Mallory Bridge
and Danbury Bridge will be replaced with Centerpoint maintained
streetlights.
• Faded gate signs have been replaced with new signs.
• Tennis courts at the clubhouse and Splash Pad will be resurfaced.
New pickleball lines will be painted on one court at each location.
New, brighter LED lights have been installed.
• The HOA is pressure washing sidewalks and brick walls
throughout the community.
• Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies have been given access to
the Splash Pad building as a rest area. The building has restrooms,
kitchen, and an office for deputies.
• The HOA is transitioning the Architectural Control Committee to
residents. Currently board members are on the committee.
REMEMBER TO TRIM YOUR TREES
Residents, please trim your street trees to ensure no branches are
lower than 14 feet from the street and 8 feet from the sidewalk.
CFISD has contacted the HOA and said low branches are damaging
buses. Low branches impede your neighbors from using sidewalks.
NEW GENERAL MANAGER AND PHONE
The Board of Directors are hard at work and cannot wait to share
the details of all of the exciting improvements being made in our
community! Until then please note we have hired a new General
Manager named Krystal Vigil and onsite staff who cannot wait to
serve our amazing residents. We will formally announce the new
team as soon as they are all on Board. The Social Committee is
planning a Meet & Greet so you can stop by and welcome the new
staff and Board of Directors. Stay tuned for the event details.
In addition to a new staff, the onsite office also has a new phone
number. Please delete all other phone numbers you have saved
for our onsite office and use the following number to reach our
new onsite team: 832-653-3763. They can also be reached via

6 GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING BUT COST US LITTLE
by Carl Phillips
“Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have.” - Jim Rohn
Whatever the time of year, here are some ideas for gifts we can give that have the potential to improve the lives of those around. Gifts
that keep on giving.
1) Giving the Gift of Our Full Attention. Give the gift of
your full attention to others around you and allow them
the stage they deserve.
2) Giving the Gift of Kindness. There are many ways
we can offer the gift of our kindness. Not expecting
anything in return except maybe the warm feeling we
get from knowing we are doing something good for
someone else.
3) Giving the Gift of Our Time. We can do this by
taking our commitments seriously. By booking in
time with friends and keeping that time free for those
friends. By making time to stop and shoot the breeze
for a while with a neighbor. By taking time out to
spend disconnected from the online world to spend
undistracted with a loved one.
4) Giving the Gift of Judging Less. We’re all human
and sometimes we make mistakes in life. In such times
it can help us all if we can talk to someone that will just
listen without making judgements. Good friends will
do this but we can also extend this gift to others. Judge
less and remember, none of us are perfect.
5) Giving the Gift of a Heartfelt Compliment. Closely
aligned with 1 and 2 on this list, this is also worthy of
its own spot. A well timed and earnest compliment can
have an immediate and positive impact on the recipient.
It shows we have noticed something in others.
6) Giving the Gift of Gratitude. Letting others know
how grateful we are for them being in our lives can
mean a lot. Expressing how we appreciate all they do
for us. How they inspire us or have been there for us in
challenging times. Let others know you are grateful for
them just the way they are.

10 Cyber Safety
Tips for Black
Friday & Cyber
Monday
More and more people are shopping online, avoiding lines, crowds and
interactions with others, especially in this time of COVID. This has created
the perfect environment for criminals to launch scams, phishing attacks,
and other malicious activities.
The amount of money spent over this cyber weekend is escalating year
after year, and due to the COVID pandemic, it continues to escalate to
staggering numbers. Cybercriminals follow the money, and this weekend
of crazed spending provides them with the perfect opportunity to scam
a large number of people. According to Barclays, nearly a quarter of
18-34-year-olds have fallen for a Black Friday scam in the past five years
and shoppers lose on average $910 after falling victim to such frauds.
With attacks becoming more sophisticated, shoppers need to be extra
cautious when looking for the latest bargains online.
Below are 10 Cyber Safety tips to keep you safe online this Black Friday
and Cyber Monday:
1. Watch Out for Fake Websites
This is one of the most popular ways criminals will try to trick shoppers
into falling for their Black Friday and Cyber Monday scams. The fraudsters
will clone websites to dupe consumers into thinking they are shopping on
a legitimate site. The website may appear almost identical to the real site;
however, subtle changes can indicate that all is not as it seems.
A web address that ends .com or .co may be changed to a .org, images
may be pixilated, functions on the site may not work properly and the
content will often be sub-standard. It’s always worth double- checking
the address of a site to confirm its authenticity.
2. Only Use Secure Sites
Before entering any information into a website, you should always check
that the site is safe and secure. The first step is to hover your mouse over
the URL and check the validity of the web address. You should look for a
padlock symbol in the address bar and check that the URL begins with a
‘https://’ or ‘shttp://’. The ‘S’ indicates the web address has been encrypted
12
and secured with an SSL certificate. Without HTTPS, any data passed on
the site is insecure and could be intercepted by criminal third parties.
However, this system is not totally foolproof. Within the last year, there
has been a significant increase in the number of phishing sites using SSL
certificates. Users are advised to be extra cautious and look for further
evidence that the site is secure. You should check for a website privacy
policy, use a website safety check tool such as Google Safe Browsing, or
do a WHOIS lookup to see who owns the website.
3. Use a Credit Card for Shopping Online
When possible, it’s always best to use a credit card when shopping
online as it offers additional protection over other forms of payment. If a
fraudulent purchase is made on your credit card, there’s a good chance
your bank will reimburse you straight away. However, if a criminal steals
your debit card details, they can clear out your personal account and it
can be more difficult to reclaim the money.
4. Beware of Phishing Emails
Phishing is one of the most popular ways for criminals to steal your
personal information and there is always a massive increase in these types
of scams on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The speed, convenience and
high return on investment makes phishing one of the easiest ways for
cybercriminals to steal your personal data without you even knowing.
As Cyber Monday approaches, be wary of any emails offering cash prizes
or last-minute deals. These emails are designed to trick shoppers into
clicking on a link which may appear to come from a well-known retailer.
Trust your gut if you think there’s something not right about the email
and delete it immediately.
5. Avoid Deals That Are Too Good to Be True
Black Friday and Cyber Monday feature lots of legitimate deals offered by
trusted and reputable retailers. However, cybercriminals know we’ll be
scouring the web for the cheapest deals and they take advantage of this
by slipping in lots of fake offers.

Be wary of any emails, pop-ups, or posts on social media promising rock
bottom prices. Clicking on the link could bring you straight to a phishing
site or you may end up downloading malware onto your device. It can be
hard to distinguish between a real bargain and a fake so it’s best to do
your research to find out if the site is credible or go directly to a brand’s
website to determine if the deal is real. It’s always worth remembering
that if an offer seems too good to be true, it usually is!
6. Use Strong Passwords
You’ll have heard it a million times, but creating a strong password really
is one of the easiest ways you can protect yourself from being hacked
online. With so many passwords to remember, it can be tempting to use
the same password for multiple accounts, however, this puts you at great
risk of having your data stolen. If hackers can work out just one of your
passwords, whether it’s a Facebook account or online banking details,
they can potentially access every single account you have.
It’s always best to use a unique username and password for separate online
accounts so that in the unfortunate event of being phished, the attackers
won’t have access to your other online accounts. A great way to create a
longer and more complex password is to use a passphrase. A passphrase
is a sentence like string of words that is memorable to you but difficult for
anyone else to crack. The first letter of each word will form the basis of your
password and letters can be substituted with numbers and symbols to
make it even more secure.
7. Watch Out for Social Media Scams
Social media scams are rife on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The crooks
know that people are going online to specifically look for deals, so they make
it as easy as they can for shoppers to fall for their online scams. Facebook
and Twitter tend to be the favoured choice for these malicious posts and
criminals will ask shoppers to like and share their posts, so they’re boosted
to the top of news feeds and reach a wider audience. Users tend to be more
trusting on social media and it’s often more difficult to determine if a link is
malicious than it would be on a more traditional platform.
8. Avoid Public Wi-Fi When Shopping
Using public Wi-Fi to search for the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday
deals could open you up to a range of security risks. Public Wi-Fi requires
no authentication to establish a network connection, allowing fraudsters
direct access to any unsecured devices on the same open network. This
enables hackers to steal valuable information such as login passwords,
credit card info and other personal and financial details.
Unsecured Wi-Fi networks can also be used to spread malware
allowing criminals unrestricted access to everything on your device.
This information can in turn be used to commit identity fraud, or the
information can be sold on to criminal third parties.
9. Ensure All Your Software is Up To Date
Before going online to shop about for the hottest deals, you should
make sure that all your security software is up to date. This will
prevent cybercriminals from gaining access to your computer through
vulnerabilities in older and outdated systems. The installation of antivirus
software will also help detect threats on your computer and block
unauthorised users from gaining access.
10. Monitor Bank Statements for Fraudulent Activity
It’s always worth keeping a close eye on bank statements to make sure
there are no unusual transactions on your account. Criminals know that
during Black Friday and Cyber Monday there will be lots of online activity,
so they hope that any unusual debits from your account will go undetected.
Typically, the crooks will make a few initial debits for smaller amounts
then go in for a larger amount which could clean out your bank account.

Quinoa Stuffed Butternut Squash
with Cranberries & Kale
2 medium butternut squash about 2 1/2 pounds each
2 teaspoons olive oil divided
3/4 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth
1 bunch kale stems removed and chopped
(about 6 lightly packed cups)
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for roasting squash
1/2 teaspoon black pepper plus additional for roasting squash
1 can low sodium chickpeas (15 ounces), rinsed and drained
Zest of 1 orange plus 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1/3 cup reduced sugar dried cranberries
Grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese, optional
Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat
the oven to 425 degrees F. Halve the butternut
squash, scoop out the seeds, then arrange the halves
on a baking tray, cut sides up. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon
olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake
45-55 minutes, just until the squash is fork tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool. Reduce the oven
temperature to 375 degrees.
While the squash is baking, place the broth in a small
saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa, return
to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer
for 12 minutes, until most of the broth is absorbed.
Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 15
minutes. Fluff with a fork, then set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive
over medium. Add the kale and cook until wilted,
about 4 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium
low. Add the garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and
1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook 30 additional seconds,
until is fragrant. Stir in the chickpeas, orange
zest, orange juice, cooked quinoa, and cranberries.
Once the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out
the flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick border around
the sides and a 3/4-inch border along the bottom.
Reserve the flesh for another use (or if you don’t
mind a super duper stuffed squash, mix it in with the
rest of the filling). Stuff the kale quinoa filling into
the squash halves, then return the squash to the
oven. Bake at 375 degrees until hot, about 10 additional
minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and serve warm.
