Annual Meeting Update After several attempts to have an annual meeting, quorum was finally reached at the May meeting. At this meeting, several of our neighbors took the time to nominate themselves or others for a board of directors’ position. Two of our previous board members, Chris Winnier and RobinWatts, were re-elected for another term. Three new board members were also selected: Tyler Horner, Enrique Yanes and Stephen Swisher. Congratulations to our new board. Look for more information regarding our board members in future newsletters.
Superstreet Meeting Update
by Kelli Ault The Alamo Regional Mobility Authority presented their plans regarding a superstreet for Braun Road. If you missed the informational meeting, please visit the website www. alamorma.org/1604SuperStreet.html to view the powerpoint presentation. The schematics for the new road designs are also available for viewing on the web site. It was confirmed that Loop 1604 itself (at Braun Road) is going to be relined into three lanes going straight through as opposed to the two that currently exist. They will still have the dedicated turn lanes, both left and right, to move more traffic through the lights. The Alamo RMA agrees with the general idea that freeway overpasses are required; however, the construction of these overpasses is allegedly too costly right now. They feel the 7 million dollars being spent on the current plan is justified and "at least they are doing something, rather than nothing" as the city commissioner stated. All projects should be started by January 2011 and are forecast for completion in August 2011.
Yard of the Month The YARD OF THE MONTH contest runs from May through July. The current month’s winner will receive a sign in their yard announcing they have the Yard of the Month as well as recognition in our newsletter. Feel free to nominate yourself or your neighbor’s yard by the 23rd of each month. The YARD OF THE MONTH qualities should include the overall landscaping and presentation of the front yard – lawn, garden, trees, flowers, etc. Please e-mail nominations to
[email protected]. Thank you in advance for your participation. Wildhorse Messenger - July 2010

Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of unintentional injury-related death ages 1-14.
A majority of people overestimate their own and their child’s ability to swim, especially in a panic event.
DROWNING IS QUICK AND SILENT 2min
Drowning occurs in as little as 2 minutes.
4min
Irreversible brain damage occurs in as little as 4 minutes.
5min
Most children are out of sight or missing for less than 5 minutes and usually in the presence of 1 or both parents.
6min
Most children die who are submerged for as little as 6-10 minutes.
Children who drown do not scream, splash, or struggle. They silently slip beneath the water, even with adults & lifeguards present. Copyright © 2010 Peel, Inc.

How to Set a List Price for Your Home If you set the price too high, your house won’t be picked for viewing, even though it may be much nicer than other homes on the street. Compared to other houses for sale, your home simply looks too expensive to be considered. If you price too low, your house will sell promptly, yes, but you may make less on the sale than if you had set a higher price and waited for a buyer who was willing to pay it.
So what do you do? Call me. As an experienced professional I will sit down with you and help you set your list price based on: x x x x x
pricing considerations comparable sales market conditions offering incentives estimated net proceeds
