  • Block Captains Sponsor Social Event:  Pre-Valentines Senior Dance (50+), Saturday, February 9, 2019, 7-11:00 PM@ Pine Trails Community Center.  A DJ will throw down on Ole Skool, Salsa, Blues, and Line Dancing music. Bring your sweetheart and get your heart pumping with fun and dancing! Come on out and have some Pine Trails Community Fun!  Please RSVP to the office (281-458-6764) by Wednesday, January 30, 2019.

  • OFS Solid Waste Sanitation Service: GOOD NEWS!  The Association has entered into a three-year contract with OFS. Beginning January 1, 2019, the new rate for the first year will be $17.55 per month; one dollar lower than the current rate.  OFS has improved their service to our community (the office has not received any complaints during the past year) and has consistently partnered in our annual neighborhood events (Neighborhood Cleanup & Back to School Bash) providing free services, products and occasional treats for our meetings.

  • Homestead Exemptions:  REMEMBER…A homestead exemption removes part of the value of your property from taxation and lowers your taxes.  You may get an additional exemption if you qualify as 65+ or if you are disabled. You should file your regular residential homestead exemption application between January 1 and April 30. If your application is postmarked by April 30, this will allow the district time to process it before your tax statement comes out in the fall.
 
  • Pipeline Safety: There are multiple pipelines running through our community (Lourdes, Dartwood & Edenglen corridors). Please take the time read the pamphlets you receive in the mail on Pipeline Safety in Your Community. Familiarize yourself on how you can: help keep pipelines safe, recognize the location of pipelines (markers), recognize a pipeline leak (sight, sound, smell) and dig safely around pipelines (call 811 before you dig) Pipeline right-of- ways are generally clear of trees, buildings or other structures except for the pipeline markers which is why the Association has posted “No Use” signs, meaning “no parking.”
