Well it looks like I’m going to be still doing the website updates…. at least for a while 
The Annual meeting was pretty uneventful – (no drama) which is good. We did however vote for 2 new board members. You’re new Hillcrest HOA board consists of (in no particular order): Curtis Whiting, Janie Guill, Louis Dye, Nancy Harlan, Henry Allen – I have served my 3 years and am moving on to smaller and better things
Steven and Lorell Loosle will be serving as your new social committee chairs – we welcome all input and help!
First board meeting with the new board is tonight (February 17) at 7 PM at Janies house (email for address and RSVP if you’d like to come). They will be discussing positions of board members, vendors and relationship with management company, among other things.
(From Jerry: oljer@austin.rr.com) The annual “It’s My Park Day!” clean-up event coming up on Saturday March 6th (9am to 1pm) needs a leader or two for the Hillcrest side of the Slaughter Creek Greenbelt. The focus will be on the trails closest to the creek. The leader(s) will help organize the event and set up the welcome table, sign-in participants, hand out the free t-shirts, and assign work areas to participants. If you can volunteer as a leader, please let me know. Thanks!!
The social committee is looking into possibly helping out with the Slaughter Creek Greenbelt – “It’s My Park Day”. So keep your ears and eyes open for our first events of 2010!

Type in our zipcode for list of convicted offenders in our area.
This afternoon approximately 3:30 our front Hillcrest sign was hit by a woman driving a Buick. I was able to get there before the police, get the police report number, cops information, and womans information. As soon as we can get a copy of the police report we will have our insurance company get in touch with her insurance company. We have already started asking for bids from people regarding the rock, sprinkler, electric and landscaping work. If you know anyone who would like to place a bid, please have them contact the board or Alliance Association Management.
The woman who was driving was not hurt, she lives near here, but not in our subdivision. There was a lot going on at the corner, and according to the woman there were many cars trying to switch lanes, slowing down, speeding up, etc. I believe she was turning right, into our subdivision – but your guess is as good as mine as to what actually happened.
We will get the bids and the construction done as soon as we can. I will continue to update the website with information as it comes in. If you have any questions please email the board directly, we may or maynot check the yahoogroup regularly.
Thank you,
Lorell Loosle
HOA President
