VOLUNTEER POSITIONS AVAILABLE
Want to get more involved in your neighborhood, but don’t know who to ask?
The Southcreek Board is made up of residents who volunteer their time to enrich our community. We are looking for other eager residents to also serve as volunteers to help out on numerous committees. The Board believes that if our community has a strong volunteer base, then our neighborhood will shine and prosper. We have several committees that could use volunteers: Architectural Review Committee, Crime Watch Committee, Deed Restriction Committee, Pool and Parks Committee, and the Social Committee. We also have a need for Block Captains. If you would like more information about how to get involved or would like to volunteer, please contact Judith Carey at Judith.Carey@att.net. Getting involved in your community is a great way to meet neighbors. Thanks to our residents for considering these positions!

BLOCK CAPTAINS
Right now, we still have 20 streets that need Block Captains in our neighborhood.
Do you have a Block Captain? If not, consider becoming a Block Captain.
Do you want to know what’s going on in your neighborhood? BE A BLOCK CAPTAIN.
Block captains receive emails from the Block Captain Chairman, Bryne Liner. The emails let you know what’s going on in our neighborhood. We ask that once the Block captains receive an email, they pass the information on to the other neighbors on their street.
Being a Block captain requires a relatively small amount of time, but the block captain plays a very important role in our community.
If you would like information about who your block captain is or would like to be a block captain, you can contact Bryne Liner at bryneliner@gmail.com.
ARC and Deed Restrictions
You may be considering making some home improvements on your house in the near future. For a major improvement on the outside of your home, you must fill out an ARC application.
ARC application forms are on www.copperfield.org and acmpinc.com. Completed applications can be sent via email to Rick@acmpinc.com or can be delivered to ACMP at their office, 15840 FM 529 Suite 104. ARC Applications to ACMP will be processed in a timely manner, when they include selections already approved by Southcreek ARC guidelines.
Selections that are not currently approved by ARC guidelines will be sent to the ARC Committee for review.
If an application is not approved by the ARC Committee, the homeowner can appeal to the HOA Board.

For more information about the ARC Application process, contact ACMP.
SOUTHCREEK DEED RESTRICTION LETTERS
To ensure that the aesthetic integrity of Southcreek Village is being maintained, periodic site inspections are performed by ACMP twice each month.
If you happen to receive a deed restriction violation notice, please do not ignore it, or disregard it. It is always best to reach out to the management company right away to let them know either that you have taken care of the violation, have plans to do so, or are unable to do so right away. Please contact Ashley at ACMP via email to Ashley@acmpinc.com.
This communication is important because subsequent letters from the Association can result in additional costs for the homeowner for certified mail fees and even legal fees if the issue persists with no response.

HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT.
Report any suspicious activity to the Harris County Sheriff’s non-emergency line at 713-221-6000, Option 6. Remember—the patrolling Sheriff’s deputies depend on us as much as we depend on them.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE?
-
Keep your eyes and ears open for any suspicious activity in the neighborhood. For example, if you see activity at a neighbor’s house when they would normally be at work, call the Sheriff’s non-emergency number so that this can be investigated.
-
Lock your vehicles on the street or in your driveway. Burglarized Motor Vehicles are unlocked 98% of the time.
-
Don’t keep valuables in your car. This includes cell phones, GPS systems, IPODS, etc. A burglar can smash the window and steal the contents of your car in less than 45 seconds.
-
Have a neighbor or relative pick up your newspapers, mail, and in general anything around your home that could indicate you are not there.
