January News from Your HOA
Signage
Please remove signage that you may see as you walk/ride through the neighborhood that is not official Green Trails signage or neighborhood garage sale signs. Signs other than these are not authorized, are unsightly and can also cause damage to our sprinkler system. If the signs are removed promptly this will discourage future placement of unauthorized signs within Green Trails. This is particularly a problem along Kingsland Blvd. and Greenhouse Road. If garage sale signs are placed, please remember to dispose of your signs once the sale is finished.

Remove Valuables, Lock Cars
Thanks to a resident’s timely call, the constables made an arrest in connection to car burglaries. However we need to continue common sense security practices. Note that 90% of the car burglaries in the neighborhood were of unlocked cars. Lock your cars and remove valuables. Report any burglaries, even if only items of minimal value were taken.

Concrete that is not visible from any street may be painted or stained only with ARC approval.

Website & Eblast Info
The Website for Green Trails Phase II (www.greentrailstwo.com) has a “blast email” function. This feature allows the Association to send news to residents on a mass basis. The Board of Directors intends to start utilizing this function more frequently to disseminate important information, particularly in emergencies like Hurricane Ike.
If you have not registered and would like to do so, please go to the “Join Our Mailing List” section of the Website. The only information that you need to enter is your email address. Each of the other items is optional, including your name. None of the information will be distributed to third parties.
Reminder for Gated Sections
Please remember that entry codes are for the use of residents ONLY. Please ask guests and/or contractors to utilize the gate directory to obtain access. If contact information in the directory needs to be updated, please contact Crest Management and provide information.
