Wear loose, lightweight, light-

colored clothing.

Wear sunscreen. Sunburn

affects your body’s ability

to cool down and can make

you dehydrated. Look for

sunscreens that say “broad

spectrum” or “UVA/UVB

protection” on their labels;

these products work best.

Stay in air-conditioned

buildings as much as possible.

Do not rely on a fan as your primary cooling

device during an extreme heat event.

Drink plenty of water and don’t wait until

you’re thirsty.

Check on friends or neighbors who may need

assistance.

Know the signs of heat related emergencies and

call 9-1-1:

- Muscle Cramps

- Headaches

- Nausea

- Vomiting

Never leave infants, children or pets in

a parked car.

Visit cdc.gov/extremeheat for more hot weather tips.

UPDATE ON CLUBHOUSE POOL

On June 26th, the Harris County Department of

Health made an inspection of our pool and baby pool

under new regulations. This type of inspection has

never before occurred and no announcement of the

new regulations was distributed to any of the affected

pools in Harris County.

As a result of that inspection, the baby pool was

closed for various deficiencies including signage.

Your HOA Board is in the process of making all

the changes required by these new regulations and

are in hopes that the appropriate inspectors will be

available to conduct a re-inspection to reopen the

baby pool soon.

One of the issues brought to our attention was the

gate latch from the parking lot to the pool. The

gate has been replaced with one that opens out to

the parking lot with a new latch at the appropriate

height. This gate must remain closed at all times but

is unlocked when the pool is open for residents and

their guests.

HOMEOWNER CONCERNS

Your HOA board has been informed by a number

of homeowners about their concerns regarding

several houses in our subdivision. The board has

received guidance from our attorney on how we

should proceed and is in the process of doing all that

they can under both our deed restrictions and state

legislation and will continue to work on these issues as

quickly as possible.

The HOA Board urges all residents to contact our

Deed Restrictions office at (281) 444-3522, ext. 5 to

report any concerns. If the problem is due to noise or

nuisance issues, please instead contact the Precinct 4

Constables at (281) 376-3472 to report the problem

so that there will be a formal record that we can

act upon.

Safety & Security

7 ESSENTIAL TRAVEL SAFETY TIPS

Travel can be an exciting, eye-opening experience. It’s easy to get caught up in the thrill of adventure. But don’t forget about travel security and safety considerations while you’re abroad. Follow these 7 travel safety tips to help you take a trip that’s memorable for all the right reasons.

1. Do your research

Get to know your destination in depth before you arrive.

Read traveler reviews and consult with locals for infor-

mation about the safest neighborhoods, places to stay

and incidences of crime. Also know whom to call in an

emergency.

People who look like they’re from out of town are espe-

cially vulnerable to crime, so try to blend in as much as

you can. Choose inconspicuous clothing that won’t attract

attention. Be discreet when looking at maps and approach

people carefully if you need to ask for directions.

3. Make copies of important documents

You never know when you might need a copy of your

passport, driver’s license or another form of identifica-

tion. Scan these documents to save online and print out

several hard copies. That way, you won’t be scrambling

to find proper documentation if you need to get home.

4. Keep your friends and family updated

No matter whether you’re going, on an overnight jaunt

or a month-long international journey, it’s always a

good idea to let friends or family back home know.

Before you leave, send a copy of your itinerary to a few

trusted people who can keep tabs on your whereabouts.

Check in regularly with your contacts so they know

you’re where you’re supposed to be.

5. Be wary of public Wi-Fi

Don’t let the convenience of Internet access cloud your

judgment. When you use public Wi-Fi, hackers look-

ing to steal valuable information can access your data

including credit card or Social Security numbers.

6. Safeguard your hotel room

Even if your hotel has strong security measures in place,

there are steps you can take to make your room safer.

Lock and dead bolt the door and keep your windows shut.

Try to give the impression that you’re in your room

even when you’re away, such as placing the Do Not

Disturb sign on the outside of your door and keeping

the blinds or windows closed.

7. Be aware of your surroundings

Don’t let your guard down to snap the perfect picture

for your social media platforms. Keep an eye on your

personal belongings at all times and use good judgment

when talking to strangers. But if someone near you is

acting suspiciously, or if you feel uncomfortable, leave

the area immediately.

CYPRESS-TOMBALL DEMOCRATS AUGUST SPEAKER IS REPRESENTATIVE JON ROSENTHAL

The Cypress-Tomball Democrats will hold its next

monthly metting on Tuesday, August 20 at Rudy’s

Grill and Cantina, 11760 Grant Road in Cypress.

There is a meet and greet at 6:30 pm, and the general

meeting begins at 7:00 pm.

August’s guest speaker will be Representative Jon

Rosenthal. Representative Rosenthal has been a

strong fighter, advocate and champion for better

public schools, healthcare and ensuring we have

comprehensive criminal justice reform across the

State of Texas. Grateful and fortunate enough to be

elected by the great constituents of House District 135

(Northwest Houston - Cypress and Jersey Village), Jon

continues his fight in the state legislature to advocate

for these issues amongst other needs. He brought a

unique background to the chamber as being only one

of two practicing engineers in the Texas State House

of Representatives and the only mechanical engineer

serving in the body.

As a new member to the 86th Legislative session,

Representative Rosenthal served on the County Affairs

and Energy Resources Committees. Representative

Rosenthal will speak on his experiences in the legisla-

ture and give tips on electing more democrats in Texas.

All are welcome to attend and to join this grow-

ing club, which meets on the third Tuesday of ev-

ery month.
