FROM
THE
MANAGER
Nancy CASTEEL
What a great summer this has been
already. We have had some amazing
turnouts at The Summer Concert Series
in Beckert Park! I have really enjoyed
all of the music. If you haven’t made it
out yet, July will be jazz, so come on
out with a picnic basket and some lawn
chairs.
The pools are hopping already! Thank
you to everyone who is following the
pool rules and having your armbands
ready to show our security guards. We
want everyone to be able to enjoy the
pool this summer and it’s important that
we all work together as neighbors to
keep our pools clean and safe. You may
do this by following a few simple rules
as outlined in your lease agreement. Do
not bring glass containers of any kind
into the pool area. Do not allow your
pets into the pool area. Always have
your 2012 pool band ready to show,
identifying you as a Post Resident,
and make sure that your guests have
bands as well. Please be courteous and
respectful of the other swimmers in the
area. Don’t forget, 2012 Post Addison
Pool Party is July 8th from 11am to
2pm. Come on out for some yummy
food and great music!
Beautiful Balcony
The winners of the Beautiful
Balcony of the month are John
and Ali Barker! They will
receive $150 off their July rent.
To enter your balcony for
the month of August, send
an email to nancy.casteel@
postproperties.com
Annual Post Addison Circle
Photo Contest!
We are searching for our August cover photo and we need
your help! Through the month of July we would like you to
take pictures of Post Addison Circle and submit them to
Megan Mahoney at [email protected]
by July 20! The winning photo will be printed on the cover
for August and the resident will receive $300 off their August
rent! We will also award rent discounts to the second and
third runner up. So get your cameras ready and say cheese!
During the 2nd Quarter Resident
Advisory Panel Meeting, several of
our residents requested that another
reminder be sent out regarding cleaning
up after your pets. This includes the
elevators and hallways of the building.
Be prepared for a mess to be made on
your way out of the building. Some of
our puppies just can’t wait to get to the
grass, so make sure that you are ready
in case they have an accident in the
elevator or hallways, and clean up after
them.
Hope to see you all at KaboomTown
on July 3rd! Have a safe and Happy
Independence day!

What’s
Playing
in Your
Ears?
STAYCATION:
Destination Dallas!
A staycation is a vacation in which an individual enjoys the
attractions in their hometown and relaxes without spending
the big bucks to travel to some far away destination. If you
are planning a staycation this year, put that laundry down
and become a tourist in Dallas! There are many things to
do and see right here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area; there is
no need to travel far to have a great summer! For instance,
have you been to the Dallas Aquarium to see animals from
around the world? With the price of one ticket you can see
exotic creatures from the rainforest to Japan. Here are
some more ideas to fill up your summer calendar!
Escape realty at the Nasher
Sculpture Center by visiting the
Ernesto Neto Cuddle on the
Tightrope. This exhibit of crochet
passageways allows you to elevate
above the floor and experience art at
different level.
Fill up on hot dogs and popcorn while
you cheer on the Texas Rangers!
Purchase a ticket in the All You Can
Eat Seats for $47 and you will not
leave the game hungry!
Check out the Chihuly Exhibition
under the stars and tree lights at the
Dallas Arboretum every Tuesday
and Thursday night through July. The
park will open from 6-pm and visitors
will be able to enjoy a concert with
various dining options.
Take a tour of Dallas culinary at its
best at Taste of Dallas in Fair Park
July 13-15. Over 60 restaurants will
feature menu items in one convenient
location! Live music and contests will
make this event a must attend!
These are just a few options to make your staycation
in Dallas an enjoyable one! Make sure you pack the
sunscreen and camera, and leave that phone at home!

a STAY-FIT staycation
If you’re like me, easily persuaded by anything fried, frozen, or phenomenally caloric, planning a full day of fun activities without trailing too
far away from good food choices can be tricky. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you stay fit and healthy during your summer staycation:
1
2
CAN YOU BRING YOUR
OWN FOOD?
Check to see if the venue you
are attending allows outside
food and drink. Doing so not
only allows you to be health
conscious but could also help
save some money!
PACK LIKE A CAVEMAN.
Nutritional efficiency is key!
Packing lean deli meats
and assorted nuts is a way
to ensure proper amount of
proteins and healthy fats are
ingested during the day. Stay
away from breads and milk
based products which tend to
sit heavy and slow you down.
Instead, choose fresh fruits and
crisp vegetables that are rich in
energizing anti-oxidants!
3
4
KEEP THE FLUIDS FLOWING!
If you’re going to be outside, make sure to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and
after. That sluggish “5 o’clock feeling” could actually be onset from dehydration. As
important as it is to drink water, it could get boring and bland. If you’re able to bring
in outside drinks, I recommend making a homemade green tea with honey and fresh
lemon OR using Crystal Light to help sweeten your refreshments.
SCAVENGER HUNTS!
Touring local exhibits and
events can be fun for you,
but is it exciting for the rest
of your group? Planning a
scavenger hunt could be
a great way for your group
to learn about the exhibit
and have fun doing it. Plus,
making an activity into
a competition raises the
intensity thus burning extra
calories without thinking
about it as a workout. That’s
a bonus!
