National Night Out a Rousing Success

Thanks to everyone who attended the National Night Out on Oct 6. We had a great turnout, good food and service from James Coney Island and Marble Slab Creamery. DJ Sean kept us all hopping to some really good music and entertainment.

Thanks to Board President Lana Hoseing for all her hard work, and to other volunteers who made the evening a success, including the Stafford Fire Department, EMT Group and other civic officials.

Let's keep our community moving together!

Momentum Continues ...
Several homeowners attended the August 20 board of directors meeting. My original plan was to ask the board to hold a membership meeting and request that the board meetings be opened to homeowners.

Here's where we are now: We have made some progress toward being allowed to attend the board meetings. At the August 20 meeting, attendees were allowed to attend the meeting until the board went into executive session.

Re: the membership meeting: Several homeowners are working with me toward this goal, and I will be providing more information about this in the upcoming weeks.

Since the last board meeting (July 16), I have been working with Principal Management to obtain a list of homeowners. I developed a list, and am in the process of comparing it to the list Principal Management provided, as well as a list I purchased from the Fort Bend WCID #2.

A newsletter, sponsored by the board, is currently under development with a targeted distribution date of mid-September.

We also are compiling email addresses to help us communicate as a community. So.. please ask your neighbor to contact me so we can have as comprehensive a list as possible of our residents.

And, check the website frequently -- as we obtain updated information, we will post it to this site.

Thanks for your continued support.

Continuing the Momentum

The next board meeting of the Promenade Homeowners Association is scheduled for Thursday, Aug 20, at 5:30 pm, at Stafford City Hall. I have asked to be placed on the agenda to discuss a membership meeting and request that the board meetings be open to members except for executive sessions. The rules for executive sessions need to be set. Also, the minutes from June and July need to be made public.

Since the last meeting, I have pulled together a listing of all the residents in the subdivision. I am about 20 homes short. I would like to have the e-mail address of all homeowners to be able to distribute a subdivision newsletter as timely and economically as possible. The first issue of the newsletter will be sent out around Labor Day.

The home and e-mail addresses will be used for other communications that will keep us united as a community, but ideally we would like to combine the newsletter with the web blogsite and only have to pay postage on a minimum mailing.

Please plan to attend the Aug. 20 board meeting as you did for the July board meeting and encourage your neighbors to get involved. It is imperative that we continue the momentum so we can have a voice in our community.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Promenade Residents Association website!

This website is for you -- the residents and homeowners who live in the Promenade subdivision in Stafford, Texas. It's the result of an effort by a group of concerned homeowners who want to get more involved in our Promenade community.

The site is to keep you informed about events in our community, as well as general homeowner issues you need to be aware of. We hope you visit this site often and share it with your Promenade neighbors. We want to hear from you about your general concerns about our community.

Promenade Homeowners' Association Board Meeting 16 July 2009
Promenade homeowners were allowed to address the board prior to the board meeting. The main issue of homeowners concerned the Promenade Homeowners Annual Meeting that was to have been held 21 May 2009. A quorum was not present at that meeting and so no meeting was recorded. The board has agreed to call for another meeting within 30 days so that members will be able to run for board positions and other business requiring a quorum can be taken care of. The board will determine if we need 45 members/proxies or 23 members/proxies present to have a quorum. Other business conducted at the board meeting has not been released prior to this posting.
