Hello! I am thrilled to be serving as President of the Estates of Forest Creek HOA. I grew up in Richardson, my husband, Michael, grew up in Philadelphia and we met while working in New York City. We started our family in NYC with our daughter, Letta, and our son, Gray. It didn’t take long to determine two young kids and two demanding careers in New York City was too much. We moved to Plano in 2015 to be closer to my family and scoured towns and neighborhoods looking for our “spot”. We looked everywhere from Parker to Prosper trying to find something that checked all the boxes.
After we welcomed our third kid, Rhett, we moved into the neighborhood in April of 2017, not expecting to call the house on Old Manse Court our forever home. We had only signed a one year lease and life was pretty unsettled with a newborn and two preschoolers.
But not long after we moved in, it became clear to me and Michael we had most definitely found our spot. We loved our cul-de-sac. We loved walking to the duck pond and the library. We loved driving into the neighborhood crossing the bridge and seeing all the mature trees and well kept homes. We also loved that Estates of Forest Creek seemed like a hidden gem among some other cookie cutter neighborhoods in the area (not to mention our neighbors, we have absolutely won the neighbor lottery!). There is something special about our neighborhood and we knew we wanted to raise our family here.
After five long years of leasing, we purchased our home in 2021 and have recently completed a lengthy renovation (like I mentioned above, I have great neighbors who endured a lot of construction traffic!). The Tuscano Family is here to stay.
As President of our HOA, I have very big shoes to fill. Kathie Kankel has served tirelessly in the role for years and has made sure every t is crossed and i is dotted. I will very likely fall short in comparison. That said, I have an incredible Board of dedicated and talented neighbors who share the same gratitude I have for this neighborhood. We are all committed to ensuring Estates of Forest Creek will remain a beautiful, peaceful and engaged neighborhood.
As you are renewing your membership and or considering joining, I’d like to ask you to please make a donation to the Beautification Fund. We are presently working to secure a grant from the City of Plano that when combined with your donations to the Beautification Fund, will allow us to make substantial and sustainable improvements to our entryways and medians. Your dues cover our operating expenses and maintenance of our current irrigation system and landscaping, but the Beautification Fund donations on the other hand, go toward improving and enhancing what is already there.
In addition to my role as President of EFC HOA, I also serve on the Board of Trivium Academy and manage The Retreat at Tall Tree, our vacation rental in East Texas. My primary job though is attempting to keep up with our three kids and driving them to what feels like five practices a night. All of this to say, I am busy, but I want to hear from you and I want to do what’s best for our neighborhood. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions, concerns or to simply introduce yourself!
Email is great, but text is always better.
I’m grateful to be serving our neighborhood!
