Our HOA Board's ability to beautify and advocate for The Estates of Forest Creek is directly dependent on our residents level of financial support and volunteer time. Every Estates of Forest Creek's homeowner's support is important - either financially or through your time as a volunteer.

Some of you may be thinking why should I join the HOA? This is a picture of what our Hearst Castle median and entrances would look like if the HOA wasn't here to maintain it and it was left up to the City of Plano. The City of Plano's Park Compliance Supervisor recently told us the following in an email when we requested help repairing an irrigation controller they had installed years ago. "It is our standard practice with over 450 acres of maintenance areas, we do not have turf irrigation on the medians or right-of-ways. As the temperature rises the grass will go dormant in our medians. Once we get into the early Fall and get some precipitation it will come out of dormancy."

I urge you to protect your property's value by keeping the HOA financially strong by paying your dues each and every year. If you are one of the 227 residents who have already paid your HOA this year, THANK YOU!!  If you haven't done so yet. . . please join TODAY.

Over 125 Estates of Forest Creek neighbors braved the searing heat at this year's summer social, which was held on Sunday June 12th at Breakers Lane Cul-de-Sac. Guests enjoyed dinner provided by Wild West Tex Mex Food Truck and an abundant selection of delicious sweets brought by neighbors. Plano Fire and Rescue brought their truck and talked to guests about summer and pool safety, including how to use their free "I AM THE WATER WATCHER" tags to prevent drowning. While the heat limited the games and line dancing, the water balloons were a big hit with the younger crowd.

If you know these neighbors, please thank them for their help in making the social possible! We could not have done it without their help.

We are disappointed to say goodby to Sunil Thadani from the Board as his family moves out of the Estates of Forest Creek. Sunil served as our Government Affairs committee of one for the past two years. Sunil has been a great help to everyone on the Board. He built contacts within the City of Plano that enabled him to answer resident questions, advocate to get the repair of the Hearst Castle bridge moved up the list, and help  Board Members solve City of Plano issues.

Here is what Sunil had to say about his experience on the HOA Board.

"Volunteering and being on the HOA really felt like being part of the community. The board members are really kind, welcoming, cooperative and fun to work with. You can put in as much or as little as just a few hours a month of your time. Over the months and years your effort adds up and makes a meaningful impact directly where you live."    Sunil

If you would like to advocate for your neighborhood, working in Government Affairs on the HOA Board is a great place to do that! Contact president@efchoa.com for more information.
