Hello neighbors,

I hope everyone is doing great as the kids' baseball and softball seasons wind down and we start racing into summertime! With the recent wild weather, please consider this a friendly reminder that Hurricane season will be here before you know it. Experts predict this year to be one of the more active seasons compared to the last 140 years; better to prepare early – just leave some toilet paper behind for the rest of us, please!

While you should stock up on water, batteries and non-perishables in case of power outage, remember we are a community of helpful neighbors ready to gas up grills and host picnics while we wait for relief, if needed.  Let's hope we don't.

One thing we can absolutely count on is that it’ll be hot! We hope to see everyone enjoying the Westchester Pool & Tennis Club (WPTC) this summer to cool off, meet new neighbors, and keep the kids off the devices. The WPTC kicked off the new season on May 1st, so don't forget to register for continued access through next April. Early bird rates are available through the end of this month.

The Pool officially opens its gates for registered guests on May 18th, which is immediately followed by a fun-filled day of community camaraderie on May 19th.  We'll start the day at the WPTC for the NHE Sprint Triathalon fundraiser and regroup later at the Mom's Club BBQ on the bayou later that afternoon.  Read on for details of all the exciting community events coming up in the coming weeks.

There’s been a buzz of publicity around the Pool Facility Remodel Committee recommendations that should be in your mailboxes soon, if not already, and the upcoming neighborhood vote.  Mark your calendars for the evening of May 13^th for an open Q&A session with the committee and board members at the pool pavilion from 5-7 PM. If you’re unable to make it, you can always reach out to any committee or board member for assistance and answers.

Last and certainly not least, we’re ramping up our advertising approach in an effort to better-serve the residents and vendors that make up our community. Our advertising committee has connected with a number of local businesses, but we could always use help growing our reach. Please send an email to news@westchesterhouston.org with any contact information or recommendations you have for local vendors that may want a spot in our newsletter and website as we increase membership and growth of readers month over month! We have a variety of price points and options available starting at just $100 for listing on our Services Page. We also have assistance available for turnkey design services for those who need an extra hand with advertising.

I look forward to seeing you all at an upcoming HOA meeting, community event or just walking around our great neighborhood. From the entire board, we wish you all a great upcoming summer season, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to the team with any feedback (good or not so good) or questions of any kind.

Stay safe and we’re here to serve you,

Sy Zaidi

WOC HOA Board President
