As our Yard of the Month season comes to a close, we’d like the honor the winners for the month of September.  Each section winner receives a $50 gift card from Lowe’s, with the overall winner receiving a $75 gift card.   This month, the winner from Scofield Main was 1324 Braided Rope, the winner from Withers Way was 12808 Withers Way, and the winner from the Park at Scofield was 1405 Tamar Lane.  The overall champion was 1504 Tapadero Court.  Many thanks to all of the residents who took time this spring and summer to beautify their lawns and enhance our quality of life here in Scofield Farms.  Your efforts are much appreciated!  Also, a huge “Thank You” is in order for Leigh Ann Brunson and Jacob Abdel-Qader for their service on the Yard of the Month Committee this year.  We look forward to another great season in 2014!

There are lots of good things going on at the pool!  First, our newly renovated restrooms opened officially this morning.  Improvements included wood refinishing, hardware replacement, and replacement of sinks, showers, toilets and tile.  Check out the attached photos!

Second, the pool will be open for use beginning at 6 am this Monday, Labor Day (9/2) instead of closed for its usual cleaning.  The weather forecast looks good for a full day of swimming!  Please remember also that 9/2 is the last day of lifeguard coverage for the season.  The pool will remain open during September and October, but please be considerate and keep the pool area clean by discarding your trash and resetting pool furniture before you leave.

The pool restroom renovation work, originally scheduled to finish on Friday, 8/23, has been extended through Tuesday, 8/27/13, to allow sufficient time for the work to be fully completed. We appreciate your patience during this extended process, and hope that you will enjoy the new and improved restroom facilities when they open later this month!

Wow! This summer has flown by! Time to announce this month’s selections for Yard of the Month.  But before we announce the winners, thanks  are in order once again to our Yard of the Month committee, led by Leigh Ann Brunson, for their work this month.  And now…the honorees for each section of the neighborhood were:

• Scofield Main – 1321 Braided Rope Drive
• The Park at Scofield – 1609 Tamar Lane
• Withers Way – 12816 Withers Way

Each of these deserving winners has been awarded a $50 Lowe’s gift card, as well as the honor of displaying the prestigious “Yard of the Month” sign in their yards in August.

Our overall top overall honoree in the neighborhood was 12901 Tapadero Drive.  This lovely yard was awarded a $75 Lowe’s gift card.

Thank you so much for your attention to landscaping this spring and summer.  We know that it is difficult with our continued drought situation, and we appreciate your efforts!

The men’s and women’s restrooms at the pool are scheduled to undergo much-needed renovations starting Tuesday, August 6. The work will include installation of new plumbing, sinks, toilets, lighting, and tile along with other updates. In order to accomplish this work, it will be necessary for both restrooms to be closed through Friday, August 23. Portable men’s and women’s toilets along with hand sanitizing facilities will be provided while the restrooms are closed. We thank you for your patience during this process, and will share any scheduling updates with the neighborhood, if necessary.

We were so pleased with the turnout at our first “Super Saturday” children’s event!  80+ residents and friends of Scofield came to the pool today to be educated and entertained by Michael Foux and his Austin Reptile Show.  Thankfully the rain stopped in time for the event and cloudy skies kept things cooler.  Everyone enjoyed the presentation, which included several lizards, turtles and (non-venomous) snakes.  Those who were brave enough even had a chance to touch the reptiles!  Many thanks to all of you who came out as well as those who helped with setup/cleanup.  Don’t miss our next Super Saturday event on 8/31!
