Advertise Your Business Here 888-687-6444 Lakeline Pool Info POOL POINTS: Welcome to summer and the busy time of the season for the pool. We want everyone to enjoy their time at the pool and ask that we all do our best to follow all of the rules and be respectful of our neighbors. WHAT’S NEW: The new fence and gate are up and operational. We do ask that everyone use their swipe card to get in and out of the gate. The button is for emergency exit only and an alarm will sound. This was not done to scare little kids, but rather as a way to alert others to an emergency or to indicate that the gate is not closed. It should latch automatically after opening. Other pools managed by Goodwin follow this same system and they’ve experienced no major problems with this manner of operation. POOL RULES: A complete list of pool rules is posted at the pool. We are working on updating the signage for the interior pool area and it will bullet point some of the rules. If there are any questions or problems, you can consult the complete list posted in the glass case by the gate. POOL PARTIES AND PAVILION RESERVATIONS: Due to our limited resources, we only allow one pool party per week.Most of our summer weeks are filled up, there are a few left. If you would like a reservation for the pool, please contact me at: [email protected]. In order to hold a party at the pool you must have already received your swipe card and you have to be current on your HOA dues and have no deed violations. We also take reservations for the pavilion by the park. The use of the pavilion is an exclusive use of the party it is reserved for since the pavilion area is not very big. If you are planning to use it, please contact me at the above e-mail address to make sure it is available, and once cleared by Goodwin, we will add your event to the calendar. POOL AGE: The rules are confusing and conflicting. The age of an unaccompanied person at the pool is 18. Anyone under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult or guardian. We are in the process of having Goodwin change all (Continued on Page 5) Lakeline Ranch - July 2009 Copyright © 2009 Peel, Inc. Lakeline Ranch Reader Lakeline Ranch Yard of the Month Program Lakeline Ranch celebrates the fact that our community works hard to present a beautiful environment for our neighbors and guests who travel through our areas. To reward hard work and tender loving care, the H-O-A offers a yard of the month program to acknowledge those who put forth the most effort. The contest is facilitated by the Lakeline Ranch Landscape Committee from the months of March through October. There is also a contest for holiday decoration in the month of December. Perry Hudson, Landscape Committee member explains, “We try to take a sampling every month of diverse tastes in the community. We stress that it is not how much money you spend on your yard but how much effort you put forth to maintain all aspects of the landscape on a continued basis. This includes mowing, edging, weed control, and general shrubbery maintenance. A yard of the month winner could have never changed anything from the day they bought their home but they show pride and the desire for their home to add to the community’s overall appearance.” The Landscape Committee welcomes all nominees on a monthly basis for the contest. Winners’ receive a $50.00 home improvement gift card as well as recognition for the month with a sign being displayed in their yard.

Lakeline Ranch - July 2009 Lakeline Ranch Reader Neighborhood Groups Dining Divas Corner The Diva’s dined this month at a new restaurant in Cedar Park! We had six of the Divas dining with us this month: Muangthai Thai Cuisine received Five out of Six Hair Tosses! (Picky Pam was the only frown, and she is a meat and potato girl, although she was impressed with the clean powder rooms!) The atmosphere was what you would expect from a local Thai restaurant. The food was moderately priced, and very tasty. The menu offers choices for all Thai food lovers. We all enjoyed the appetizers and the curries. One of the crowd favorites was the sticky rice with mango! Yummy….. Please note the Divas are not compensated for their opinions! ON A C CR NOW ENROLLING!

We want all HOA members to be able to use the pool and abide by the rules. If your child is under the age of 18, please do not send them to the pool without an adult. We might not all agree with the rules, but this is a liability issue for the whole neighborhood. If we can look at this with our pocketbooks instead of our emotions, it becomes understandable why unaccompanied children are not allowed at the pool. We just don’t have the funds to hire lifeguards. Our insurance liability limits us to not having minor children at the pool without an adult guardian. If you do choose to send your child to the pool without an adult, please understand that they may be asked to leave. This is the right and privilege of all Lakeline Ranch Homeowner Association members as stated in the pool rules. I do ask all members, if you speak to someone else’s children, please do so in a manner in which you would want to have your children spoken to. They might be scared or unsure of what to say and we just need to gently remind them at they need a parent present to be at the pool. POOL BEHAVIOR: Everyone has a code of personal responsibility for use of the pool. Chances are if you can’t do it at a public pool, you can’t and shouldn’t do it at our pool. If see behavior that is violating pool rules, dangerous, lewd or people that shouldn’t be at the pool, it is up to each and every member to do what they feel personally comfortable doing in a neighborly way.
