IMPORTANT PHONE NUMBERS

There are new guidelines for 2015 NOW implemented for renting the Winchester Country clubhouse rooms. The rules go into effect for all clubhouse rentals.

• Deposits must be made as money orders. Leave the “pay to the order of” line BLANK, as the money order will be returned upon passing post-rental inspection. Checks, cashiers checks or cash will no longer be accepted for the deposit.

• No items may be taped, hung, tacked or glued on the walls, doors or rafters.

• No helium balloons allowed inside the clubhouse.This is not a policy change but bears repeating: Pool rentals

are only allowed after normal hours and through Texas Aquatics at 713-416-5161.

I am running for the open position on the homeowners association. I would like to take a moment and let you know a little about myself and why I would like to be the next board member. My name is Lucy Charles and I have been happily married for 31 years. We have lived in Winchester Country since 1996 and have raised 5 children in the neighborhood. I have 8 energetic grandchildren and one more on the way. I am a family oriented person. My children and grandchildren are always visiting our wonderful subdivision. Throughout the years, I have seen the community grow tremendously, with most of the changes being for the betterment of the people.

My hobbies include craft work, reading, biking, and fishing. I enjoy working in my flower beds and herb garden in my back yard. My most satisfaction comes from helping at the church. I attend and help others through mentoring and other avenues I feel can be beneficial. I strongly believe my accomplish-ment comes from my faith and my beliefs.

I have raised my family here, and my grandchildren spend a great amount of time in our neighborhood. I would like to join the homeowners association because I believe that our neighborhood is a great place to live and would like to continue and help our community grow. I also believe with the knowledge and understanding of the subdivision I will be able to help our neighborhood maintain a well-rounded environment with pleasant surroundings where people would be proud and happy to call Winchester home.
