Many of you have let us know that you would be willing to help keep the community clean. On the last Saturday of the month, May 30th, we will gather near the front of the neighborhood at 8am and work our way back, pulling up dead bushes, trimming live ones, picking up trash, weeding, etc. We need your help! Come with your tools and gloves ready to work hard. Plan to stay afterward and bring a

The grass got cut yesterday! Woo Hoo!!! That's one great thing to report! We've noticed several homeowners cutting it themselves and have heard from them that they wouldn't mind doing this on a regular basis if they knew they needed to. Most of our neighbors take great pride in the community and go to great lengths to keep it looking nice. We should commend them for their hard work! Please

There is an awful lot of frustration buzzing in our neighborhood these days...a lot of frustration and very little answers.

One of the homeowners noted that the exterminator came by yesterday (Wednesday, Feb. 11) to treat the sidewalk and shrubbery areas in front of their homes, which brought up the point that a couple of people have noticed what they call "chiggers" in their front window sills. They described them as tiny round red crawling bugs and said you may not even notice them if you weren't looking. They

Do you think one of your neighbors would make a good board member? Are they fair, firm, & friendly? Would they have our neighborhood's best interest at heart? Tell us about them and let us know why they should be nominated during our November 11th meeting. Who knows... maybe it's YOU!WHO CAN BE NOMINATED TO THE BOARD?If I understand correctly, board members may be residents or owners. (

This is intended to be a place where members of the Garden Oaks neighborhood can express their opinions and concerns and discuss the things that are going on in our neighborhood. Since some of our neighbors voted to remove our board, we have heard a lot of chatter about what should be done and what people did and did not like.
