Our pools reopened on April 1. The slide at Barefoot Pool will not be operational until Lifeguards are on duty beginning Memorial Day weekend. For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the slide, please do not allow children to climb up the slide or jump over the gate when it is locked.

If you have not obtained your new pool card, you can go online to www.poolkey.com to request one. The HOA is absorbing the cost of this initial replacement card. Cards issued before 2014 no longer work. Please contact our property manager, Jim Smitherman at [email protected] or 512-502-2114 if you have any questions.

To ensure a successful and safe swim season, compliance with the Pool Rules is mandatory. Please be respectful of the lifeguards and monitors. The Pool Rules are posted at each pool and can also be found at www.hoasonoma.com.

Sonoma PoolsThe HOA recently added 4 more dog stations for your

convenience. We are hoping that this will reduce the number of poo filled plastic bags that are found in beds and trees along our main sidewalks. They are located at:•TheparkonForestCreekDr.betweentheRuskRoads•ThenorthsideofForestCreekDrivejusteastofthebridge

The Grapevine

Sonoma is a family neighborhood made up of residents of all ages. Please be considerate when parking in your driveway to not block the sidewalk. We don’t want young children, the elderly or special needs neighbors to have to enter the street to get around these cars...it is just not safe for them to have to do so!

Thank you for your consideration and for asking your guests to do the same.

A Little Consideration, PLEASE!

The HOA is collecting information to compile a list of services offered by residents in our community. Please complete this survey: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1571930/8f40b0ed5ccb to be included in our 2014 Sonoma Services List which we will publish in early June.
