Join us for our new “Super Saturdays at the Pool” series of family events this summer!  First, on Saturday, July 27, we’ll be visited by the Austin Reptile Show (austinreptileshows.com) who will present their “Reptile Adventure” show featuring live reptiles from around the world.  Next, join us on Saturday, August 31, for puppets and music from “Ms. Lisa” Baker, who has educated and entertained children throughout Austin and the Hill Country for the past 17 years. We’ll also provide refreshments. Both shows will be held from 10 am – 11 am.  More details on the 7/27 event coming soon!

Get ready for some 4th of July fun!  The Scofield Farms annual 4th of July Parade & Pool Party will take place this Thursday morning.  Please start arriving at the pool around 9:45 am sporting your red, white & blue outfits and bringing your decorated bikes/scooters for the parade. An Austin Fire Department truck will arrive at the pool parking lot at 10 am and will lead us in a parade around Scofield Farms Drive through the Braided Rope area. The fire truck will remain at the parking lot until 11 am, so younger children can explore the fire truck. The pool party begins at 11 am.  There will be music, games, a coin toss for the kids, badminton, door prizes, hot dogs, chips, and watermelon. Feel free to bring your lawn chairs for the event, and make sure your kids have their swim goggles for the coin toss!

Volunteers are needed for the following tasks:

1. Decorating prior to the event
2. Setting up tables, food & drink stations
3. Managing the tattoo parlor before the parade
4. Grilling hot dogs

If you are a business owner living in Scofield Farms, we’d like to help you promote your business by receiving a door prize donation from you!  Include your business cards and any brochures or fliers you may have regarding your business. We will post a sign displaying all donors and will recognize your generosity during the raffles.

Don’t miss this fun family event!  See you there!

As a result of recent storm damage, the roof at the pool house is scheduled to be repaired on Monday, May 13.   The pool will be closed during the repairs. The work is scheduled to be completed that same afternoon, but residents should be aware that the pool may not open at 5 pm (as usual for Mondays) if the work is not yet complete.  There is also a possibility that the work could continue into Tuesday.  Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to enjoying all the many improvements at the pool area (with more to come) this summer!

The annual meeting of the Scofield Residential Owners’ Association will be held on Thursday, May 16th at 7 pm at the Frank Fickett Boy Scout Center, 12500 North I-35, Austin TX 78753.  Check-in will begin at 6:30 pm.  Please join us for an important update on the past year from your Scofield ROA Board of Directors, as well as the election of two new members to the Board.  We’ll also be giving away door prizes.  The annual meeting is not only a informative and fun event, but necessary to the operation of our homeowners’ association.  If you are unable to attend, please complete the proxy form and return to Certified Management of Austin’s office by May 15, 2013, or you may send it with a neighbor who is attending. Your signed proxy will help meet the required quorum of ten (10%) percent.  If you are interested in running for an open Board position, please complete the following form and return it to Certified Management of Austin as soon as possible.  Hope to see you all on the 16th!

Please keep in mind that when undertaking improvements on your property, there are multiple occasions when you should seek Architectural Control Committee (ACC) review & approval. There are also typical maintenance improvements that do not need ACC review & approval.  Please refer to the following important document before beginning any improvement project — it may save you from dealing with a possible deed restriction violation later!

The pool parking lot will be closed for repaving on Tuesday, 4/30/13 and Wednesday, 5/1/13.  Please move your vehicles out of this parking lot by 8 am on 4/30.  You will still be able to access the pool, mailboxes, and playground via the sidewalks during this time, but please do not walk on the barricaded work areas.  You can find more information in the following document from the paving company.  Thank you very much for your cooperation!
