Call for Board of Directors Nominations
We are rapidly approaching the time for our annual election for vacancies on the Board of Directors. We have three members of the Board whose two-year term of office expires in 2012. We need at least three volunteers to serve on the Board that are willing to serve their community and fulfill the obligation of a Board member as outlined in our bylaws and CC&Rs. If you are interested, please contact the Community Center staff and inform them of your intentions to run. The Nomination Committee will then contact you for a photo and biography for use in the nomination process and explain and answer any questions you may have regarding the election process. Westcreek survives on the commitment and sacrifices of our volunteers-we need your help. Please contact any of the current Board members for their personal perspective on serving on the Board.

Standards Tips
The new Standards for Architectural Design and Maintenance effective January 1, 2012 are now in effect. The time limitations for trash and recycle containers have been extended in the new VWOA Standards.To comply with the standards, the best location for trash/recyclable containers or other refuse ison the street next to the curb, no earlier than 5 PM the day before the scheduled pickup, and by 9AM the following day, empty containers must be placed out of sight from the street to present an attractive and clean appearance of the property. It is unlawful to block the pedestrian’s use of sidewalks and driveway aprons with motor vehicles, trash/recyclable containers and any other object. (Refer to Texas Transportation Code, Title 7, Subtitle C., Chapter 545, sub-chapter G., Section 545.302 [2]).
Keep Westcreek Beautiful. Do not litter. Please take a moment to dispose of any litter you may find.
Public Safety Tip
The chrome rims and tires of some vehicles are currently a popular item amongst thieves. We have had several incidents where the rims and tires have been stolen from a Chevrolet Camaro and a Chevrolet Tahoe here in the Villages of Westcreek. The thieves are jacking up the vehicle and using bricks or rock from nearby flower beds when they steal the rims. These thefts are occurring at night during the cover of darkness. The victims were unaware of the theft until they went out to their vehicles the following morning. Homeowners can leave their front lights on to deter the theft.
The Villages of Westcreek is now on Facebook. If you have a Facebook account, you can look us up and “like” our Facebook page to receive updates and information about your community.
