EGG
HUNT AND PETTING ZOO
Social Committee has lined up
the date for our annual Easter Egg Hunt and Petting Zoo.
This year, it will take place from 2:30 pm until 4:00 pm on
Sunday, March 21.
SEE IMPORTANT DETAILS HERE
Each child is to bring their
own basket and adult chaperone. Parents are encouraged to
bring cameras, as there are always dozens of picture-worthy
moments!
Teens, you can volunteer to
help and earn community service hours for school.
GARAGE SALE
Saturday morning, April
24 is our springtime neighborhood-wide garage sale
event. It will begin at 8:00 am and end at 1:00 pm. Keep
in mind that many buyers arrive very early; it is your choice
whether or not to open your sale to them, since sellers are
generally busy setting up and may not have time to deal with
questions until 8 am.
On Friday evening, April
23, from 6:00 - 8:00, we will hold a preview sale for any
folks wishing to participate. This will allow our
residents first chance at finding those super buys! Maps
and a listing of sale addresses will be available near both
entrances.
For newcomers, we advertise this event and draw
buyers from a wide area. Each family that wants to sell
items should place them on their own driveway, be sure they're
clean, organized, and priced right... then enjoy the inflow of
cash! Good, useable leftovers can be donated to
Angel's
Attic in Grapevine (817-251-9451). There is also a
Goodwill drop site on Rte 26 in Colleyville, just across from
the light at Pleasant Run/White Chapel Rd.
Again, email questions
or offers of help to the Social Committee at
social2008@stonelakes.net
.
BLOCK PARTY
This event is planned for May. Check back for
details that will be posted when available.
FALL FEST PHOTOS ARE HERE!
The 2009 Fall Fest was on Saturday, November
14 by the neighborhood pool. Jennifer Blanchard and Hyon
Chin Keoughan worked tirelessly to create a festive atmosphere
with plenty of fun activities for everyone there.
A big thank you goes to James Keoughan of
Rd/Max Real Estate for sponsoring one of the ever-popular
bounce houses!
PHOTOS are here!
Thanks go to Jennifer for the pictures.
KINDERGARTEN PHOTOS
Photos from the Kindergarten Round-Up and Back

cheerful photos to memorialize the event.
BUNCO GROUP
The Stone Lakes Bunco club is looking for some new members, both
permanent and substitute, to join in on the fun and
laughter. They meet in the neighborhood with rotating houses on
the 2nd Monday of each month. (The houses themselves do
not rotate, but the location of each party does!!... sorry, I
couldn't resist.)
Participation costs only $5, and they
will even teach you how to play! If you are interested,
please
contact
Beth Smietana.

in tip-top shape for your enjoyment. Kendall deserves MANY
THANKS for his impeccable work.

HELP ANIMAL RESCUE FOR

There are so many animal lovers in Stone
Lakes that the following should be of interest to most of you.
Please click here to visit the Animal Rescue Website and
click on the purple rectangle in the top right section of the
page. This triggers a donation of food from pet-food
manufacturers (and other advertisers) for neglected and
abandoned animals. You can click once EVERY DAY!
Please put the link above into your favorites and help them as
often as you can. It only takes a few seconds.
Thanks so much!
You can help spread the
word by copying and pasting these three paragraphs and
emailing them to several friends in your email address book.
It will only take a few minutes, yet it will make a real
difference in the lives of helpless animals.
NEW BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE
This group is active again,
and we can expect a noticeable improvement in the appearance of
the common areas, especially at both entrances. Barbara
King is leading the effort, and she welcomes your assistance.
Do you have an eye for landscaping or gardening? Contact
Barbara at
Beautify@stonelakes.net
Teens can earn service hours
for certain tasks such as spreading mulch and weeding flower
beds.
TODDLERS PLAYGROUP TOP
We invite you to
join the Stone Lakes Neighborhood Playgroup. The kids range in
age from newborn through kindergarten, and the moms enjoy it
almost as much as the kids do. We meet on Friday mornings,
usually from 10:00 am until noon. Our favorite places include
local parks, playgrounds, each others' houses, and other
kid-friendly spots. Some members come every week, some only on
occasion. We look forward to welcoming you to the group.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! We also get together
for Moms Night Out every month or two (without the
kids!).
The location will vary each week,
so if you are interested, please contact the new coordinator
Lisa Chamberlain at
toddlers@stonelakes.net
for the details. If you prefer, use her phone number, which is
in your Stone Lakes Directory.
The Webmaster would like to acknowledge
Marle Trivedi for
her friendly leadership of this group for a couple of years, and
also to thank Lisa for stepping up to keep lead the group going
forward.

Tennis Court Rules
&
Basketball Court Rules
Electric rates have risen, so it is IMPORTANT
to TURN OFF THE LIGHTS when everyone is finished using the
courts. The timer/control is north of the
main court entry gate. Also, for the preservation of our beautiful courts,
LOCK the GATES when you are finished playing tennis.
Linda Hayes oversees these facilities for Stone Lakes. If you would like
to reserve a court, you can sign up on the reservation schedule
inside of the courts, or just call Linda
before Sunday, and she will put your name down. (Refer to your Stone Lakes
directory for her number.) Your pool key
also grants access to the tennis courts. Questions?
