June 20, 2008: To make the PHOA website more secure and keep spammers from harvesting our email address we have moved all of the pages containing contact information (email, address and phone numbers) to a section of the website where email address harvesting programs won't know to go. This makes it slightly more difficult to get to these directories, but hopefully the added security will be worth it.

To access these pages, click the Contact List link on the left of this web page and you will now be redirected to a "Login Page". This page will ask you for your User Name and Password. To make things simple, we have picked your last hame (upper or lower case) and street address (4 digit numbers only). It should work for everyone with information in the current contact directory, but if you have problems, please contact me (John Stockton) and I'll help resolve them.

January 19, 2008: The Preserve Home Owners Association Annual General Meeting was held Saturday, January 19th at 2:00 at the home of Joe and Laura Dalton. The results were a new slate of officers including Moris Simson as President, Harvey Tack as VP, Al Bialkowski as Treasurer, Tina Stockton as Secretary, Lauren Mezaraups as ACC Chair and John Stockton as Webmaster. The HOA budget and dues were reviewed and set to be $500 for 2008. Look for a bill sometime in February. The HOA dues should be paid before March 1, 2008.

January, 2008: Just posted are a few pictures from the Preserve 2007 Holiday Party. Click here to view them.

Thanks a million to Joe and Laura who hosted the annual PHOA Holiday Party. Fun was had by all.

July, 2007: The Wakeland's are back from Germany. Welcome back to the neighborhood!

July, 2007: The PHOA says goodbye to the Boisvert's: Carl, Mary, Pearce, Drake & Bryce previously located at the Wakeland's (4208 Hidden Canyon Cove).

January, 2006: The PHOA welcomes Frank & Jennifer Greenburg to the neighborhood. They are living at 4213 Hidden Canyon Cove, where the JW Rogers family used to live.

July, 2005: The PHOA welcomes Chari Reissig and her son Blake to the neighborhood. They are now the newest addition to the Paul Koester (jr.) family.

March, 2005: The Kremer's also took a temporary assignment down under - we all wish them the best of luck while they are away.

As an experiment we are trying something new with the online directory which is to add a family photo on the detailed information page for each family. Currently the Stockton's and the Simson's pages are the only one to have this, but if you would like to have yours added - simply email a small picture (jpg format) to John Stockton and we will put it into the directory. Also, if you think it is a dumb idea - please let us know that too. Click here to see an example.

Important information that is useful for Preserve Home Owners can be found here.

December, 2007: The Bulletin Board now gets its distribution list directly from the PHOA on-line directory. The good news is that email address errors will be minimized, so using the BBS should be more reliable. The bad news is that if your email address is in error, it causes error messages that make it look like the BBS isn't working properly. Please let us know what your current email address is so we can keep this tool up to date. The upcoming PHOA Annual Meeting is an ideal time to request any changes to your directory information.

November, 2007: The address list has some cosmetic improvements with the addition of mail and vCard icons - but more important - what are they good for? When you are on the main directory listing, look for and click on one the following icons:

- Which should automatically open a pre-addressed email window on your desktop (tested with Windows and Internet Explorer). If there is not one of these letter icons next to your name, it means that there isn't an email address on-file for your name. If you want to be added, please send the appropriate email address to John Stockton.

- Which should add the contact information directly to your information manager (in my case, Outlook). When you click on it, a window will ask you to "Open, Save or Cancel". Select "Open" and it will show the contents of the virtual card. Click "Save and Close" on that form and it will now be part of your contact directory.

There is a bulletin board that allows users to post announcements and comment/view news that is important to the neighborhood. Postings can be sent to all neighbors that have subscribed to the list. Click this link to go there.
