YUCK, don’t let this happen it can screw up your year. If you had<br />
too much fun over the holidays, call now and get on a payment<br />
plan, pay it off by the end of May and join us for fun at the pool. If<br />
you had fines on your account make sure you at least pay the dues<br />
before the end of the <strong>January</strong>.<br />
When you mail in your dues please make sure your address is on<br />
the check and that you make it out to <strong>Lakeside</strong> Residential CAI.<br />
Calendar for the <strong>2022</strong> year will come out next month<br />
We will be having our Annual Christmas decorating contest this<br />
year. We will have the gift cards and signs placed in the yards.<br />
LAKESIDE RESIDENTIAL HOA MEETINGS<br />
HOA meetings are held the 2 nd Monday of the month at 6:30 PM.<br />
(Unless Monday is a holiday, then we will meet the following evening.)<br />
HOA meetings are held at the Cypress Crossing Christian<br />
Church, located at 15751 Cypress Rosehill Road, Cypress, Texas<br />
77429. Executive Board meetings will follow regular homeowners<br />
meetings.<br />
Residents who need to talk to the Board are asked to email Sherridda<br />
Williams at Sherridda.Williams@Inframark.com Office - 281-<br />
870-0585, Direct - 281-504-1350 be placed on the executive session<br />
agenda.<br />
Our website is www.<strong>Lakeside</strong>residential.com. By-Laws, Deed Restrictions,<br />
Pool hours and card applications, a map of the community<br />
showing sections by number, streets and entrances are all<br />
there to better help you with your inquiries as well as responsibilities<br />
as a homeowner.<br />
CONSTABLE PATROL 281-376-3472<br />
As a reminder, we are patrolled by Harris County Precinct 4 Constables,<br />
through MUD 391.<br />
Please add the dispatch number to your cell phones or post in a<br />
visible place at home in case you need support in a non-life threatening<br />
situation. If you don’t call to report a crime or suspected<br />
criminal activity in progress or suspicious persons or vehicles, no<br />
4<br />
arrests will be made, the crime or criminal activity will continue<br />
and the Constable’s Office will not know that anything is going on.<br />
The social communities that we use to communicate with each<br />
other is NOT monitored by the constables. Posting on any media<br />
site is not notification to get assistance. Yes, we have those rare<br />
occasions where a Deputy, by pure luck, drives up on a crime or<br />
suspicious activity in progress. But why rely on luck when you<br />
have a telephone? The number to call is 281-376-3472. If there is<br />
a life threatening emergency, call 9-1-1. The Constable Patrol also<br />
offers a free vacation watch service, keeping your home under<br />
watch while you’re away.<br />
LOITERING AND VANDALISM<br />
Please help us to keep our recreation areas safe and clean by reporting<br />
any and all loitering after dark directly to the Constable at<br />
281-376-3472. Please also remember to report any suspicious persons<br />
walking around the community or at the parks immediately<br />
to the Constable Patrol. Don’t call the management co or HOA Director,<br />
We’re NOT the law! Better safe than sorry!<br />
TRASHCANS<br />
BEST TRASH is the service for <strong>Lakeside</strong> Residential, your community.<br />
They can be contacted 281-313-2378. Check their website for<br />
holidays, remembering they will pick up on the next regular pick<br />
up day.<br />
• Please do not put trash out before the night before trash day and<br />
be sure to pick them up after collection.<br />
• Trash Cans make the streets look very messy when not out for<br />
pick-up.<br />
• Trash cans have the most violation letters sent out.<br />
• Remember to place trashcans in the garage, backyard or behind<br />
a barrier by the house, that looks nice and hides the can. The new<br />
barrier must hide cans from the street and be acceptable. Cans<br />
just stored by your house or on your patio will get you a compliance<br />
violation letter.<br />
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE<br />
So you’d like to build an igloo or paint your house red and blue to<br />
pay tribute to your favorite sports team? These are easily identified<br />
as requests that would not be allowed in our neighborhood.<br />
But what are the kinds of things for which you need to submit a<br />
request for approval to the HOA? Basically, if you are making a<br />
change to your home or yard, you are required to submit a request.<br />
Some common requests are:<br />
• Installing a pool<br />
• Replacing windows, doors or shutters<br />
• Building a covered patio<br />
• Installing a storage unit<br />
• Installing an irrigation system<br />
• Replacing your roof<br />
• Painting your home/trim<br />
• Removing/replacing the trees in your front yard<br />
• Expanding your driveway<br />
Keep in mind that approval may take up to 30 days - plan ahead!<br />
Submit your application early, so that your project is not delayed.<br />
The ACC committee is made up of volunteers and our goal is to<br />
provide a beautiful and consistent look to our neighborhood.<br />

DIRECTIONS:<br />
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup cream and 1/4 cup butter. Heat until butter<br />
is melted, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla; stir into saucepan.<br />
Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.<br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine the apples, flour and cinnamon. Mix well. Line a 9<br />
inch pie pan with pie dough. Pour thickened filling mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Arrange apple mixture evenly over filling.<br />
Top with second crust, seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in top crust. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and<br />
apples are tender. Cool for at least 30 minutes.<br />
In small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon softened butter. Blend until<br />
smooth; pour evenly over warm pie. Refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours before serving (longer is better). Source: allrecipes.com<br />
