Now that the 2015 pool season has ended, you must have completed a pool/tennis card form for your tennis card to remain active through out the remainder of 2015.

If you have completed a pool/tennis card form for 2015, you will remain activated until the end of the year.

If you would like to activate your tennis card (and all HOA fees paid up to date), there is NO FEE for existing tennis cards to be activated when turning in your form. THIS FORM MUST BE FILLED OUT YEARLY, this is to ensure that our current residents in Winchester Country are the ONLY RESIDENTS with access to the tennis courts.

If you are requesting a tennis card for the first time or need a replacement card (there is a $10 fee that you must attach to your Tennis Registration Form), you may put your form with $10 in the mail slot located at the clubhouse / pool to the left of the gate under the bulletin board. You will be mailed a card that will automatically at that time be activated (providing all fees are up to date). You download a form at HYPERLINK "http://www.winchestercountry.org" www.winchestercountry.org or pick one up at the clubhouse office. If you have any questions please contact Stacy @ 281-890-8856.

Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect.)

Please remember and honor our fellow Americans who have served our country.

Veterans DayThanksgiving Humor

If you burn the turkey, uninvited guests will think twice before showing up next year!

What is the Turkey's favorite black tie celebration? The Butter Ball

What kind of music did Pilgrims listen to? Plymouth Rock!

May your stuffing be tastyMay your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravyHave nary a lump.

May your yams be deliciousAnd your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinnerStay off your thighs!

Traveling with your pet over the holidays? Here are some tips that will help make your drive smooth sailing.

Submitted by Kristen West, Owner of Gusto Dogs LLC.

1. Take your pet on short trips prior to the big day to let him get used to traveling by car.

2. Keep your pet safe in a secured, well-ventilated crate or carrier. It should be large enough for your pet to stand, sit, lie down and turn around. Letting him have free range in the car not only puts him at risk, but it also poses a risk to your family if you were to stop suddenly.

3. Never let your dog travel in the bed of a truck. Even if he is secured on a short line to prevent him falling or jumping out, your pet can experience discomfort from the weather and wind or sustain injury from debris.

4. Feed your pet three or four hours prior to departure and avoid giving him any food or treats in the car.

5. Never leave your pet in a parked vehicle, which can quickly become a furnace and cause heatstroke, even with open windows. In cold weather, the car holds the temperature like a refrigerator.

6. Your pet’s microchip should be up-to-date and he should be wearing a flat collar and ID at all times.

7. Bring a bowl and extra water in case you get stuck in the inevitable holiday traffic jam!

8. Take lots of breaks to let your pet stretch his legs and relieve himself. It’s a great excuse to do some sight-seeing or pick up a fun treat for yourself!
