Greetings neighbors,

By now, everyone should have received an updated invoice for HOA dues. Dues are $52.50 per year, which is extremely inexpensive, but they dues can go a long way for neighborhood improvement. The letter you receive in the mail explains some of the things that the HOA board has been able to accomplish over the past year.

If there are any questions, please contact us.

Thank you

Happy Fall everyone. Hopefully it will now start to actually feel like Fall for those who have been awaiting cooler weather. Halloween is this weekend, so please remember to stay safe, and accompany your children this Friday to ensure their safety as it gets dark outside.

The latest financial report is available for your information. Don’t forget that you may also sign up for a committee.

Hello Neighbors,

Don’t forget about DeSoto Night Out at Elerson Park tonight at 7 pm.

Also, new entryway lights have been installed at Chapel Hill & Beltine. These lights should be consistent as the lights and the work has come with a 5 year warranty.

See you tonight.

Hello neighbors,

Don’t forget that tomorrow is Desoto night out.  Our community will get together at 7pm at Elerson Park. Please come join us, even if just for a few minutes.  Please let your neighbors know.

See you on Tuesday.

DeSoto Night Out for the Chapel Hill neighborhood will be at Elerson Park at 7 pm. This is the same date that we normally have our monthly board meeting so please stop by to say hello and find out what we’ve been working on in the neighborhood.

The Chapel Hill HOA board will be holding the next community meeting on Saturday, July 26th at 11am at Metro Southwinds Fellowship Church on Belt Line Rd. We plan to also have a representative from Lowe’s do a home improvement seminar.  We hope to see you there, and please pass along the information to your neighbors.

The Mayor will host the next Mayor’s 360 Quarterly Meeting Thursday, July 24, 2014, at6:30 p.m. at the Civic Center in Bluebonnet Room III. Topics for discussion include: DeSoto Night Out, the upcoming Bond Referendum, and the DeSoto Logo.

The City of DeSoto provides free mosquito dunks to residents who have standing water on their property that they are unable to drain. Mosquito dunks treat the water, killing mosquito larvae for up to 30 days.

You may go to the Action Center in City Hall to pick up your free mosquito dunks during normal business hours, or call 972-230-9600.

Mosquito dunks may also be found at hardware stores.

Please use precaution when outdoors to prevent mosquito bites and contracting West Nile Virus.

Remember, use bug spray containing DEET, and REAPPLY as directed; avoid the outdoors for prolonged periods of time during Dusk and Dawn; avoid wearing DARK colors, and DRAIN flower pots or other items in your backyard that may collect water on a daily basis.

Hello Neighbors.

The board will like to thank those who attended the last community meeting and volunteered their time to serve on one or more of the neighborhood committees.

If you were unable to attend, or if you just want a reminder of what was discussed, the meeting minutes have been posted on the Meeting Schedule and Minutes page.

You still have the opportunity to volunteer to serve on a committee. Please send us an email if you are interested.

Those who provided an email address during the meeting were also added to the email distribution list for the website. If you have already signed up and confirmed the subscription, we apologize for the duplicate request.

Have a great Mother’s Day Weekend!

Hey neighbors,

Everyone knows solar panels are pricey, but most don’t know that you can get solar panels with no upfront cost with a solar lease or power purchase agreement (PPA).

If you are a TXU, Reliant, or Green Mountain Energy customer, you can be paid for the energy your panels produce that you don’t use. If you aren’t a customer, you can always switch.

NRG and Solar City offer lease or PPA programs. However, starting May 1st, the energy rates for the electricity that is not produced by the panels will increase. You can lock in rates if you sign an agreement before May 1st.

For NRG, call 888-255-7785

For Solar City, call 888-765-2489 ext 8901
