June 12, 2009: Effective immediately the revised bylaws that were discussed at the last HOA meeting have been posted and enacted. We now have a streamlined administration with only three officers, each of which have a slightly broader scope of responsibilites. The former ACC chair role now is part of the VP of Operations responsibilities and the Secretary is now part of the VP of Admin's responsibilities. Hopefully these changes will make our neighborhood association more efficient and easier to administer. The updated officers contact information is available in the secure section of our website (login required)

May 5, 2009: We just learned that Harvey Tack (4235 Hidden Canyon Cove) passed away from a lengthy fight with cancer. He will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Here is a link to the obituary in the Austin American Statesman.

Apr 23, 2009: In the process of fixing and improving the PHOA website, we now have added the ability to edit the contents of the directory yourself. To do this, first start at the PHOA Directory List page and click on your last name. This will bring up a detail page for your contact information. At the bottom of this page is an [EDIT] link that brings up an edit page which can be used to change the contents of your information. In case you want to hide the contents of any field, simply replace the contents of it with a space (web browsers want some character like a space to make any change).

Apr 14, 2009: Unfortunately our web hosting service sold our account to another company that promptly lost our domain name so our website was down for a day recently. With the new hosting service, the old script that we used to create the bulletin board doesn't work anymore, so we will be without this feature for a week or two until I can bring up a new one. The good news in all of this is that the new system is built around a database (the directory is already up on it) and the ability to add new features like you being able to personally edit your own directory information, or opt-in/out information is just around the corner. Sorry for the inconvenience.

January 25, 2009: The Preserve Home Owners Association Annual General Meeting was held on Sunday, January 25th. Major items concluded during this meeting were as follows: it was decided to keep the HOA dues the same for 2009, the same group of officers will be serving this year as last year, and the Bylaws of the PHOA will be ammended with several important changes (detailed in the meeting minutes).

A copy of the meeting minutes can be found here:2008 Meeting Minutes. This is a summary of the meeting which took place on January 25th. A hardcopy of these minutes will also be distributed to each homeowner.

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 name (upper or lower case) for the User Name and street address (4 digit numbers only) for the Password. 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.

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).

For other announcements, please pass it on so we can post it here. To send a notification, please by email to Tina Stockton.

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 the mail envelope icon - 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.

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.
