Official Community Newsletter of Terranova West, Oaks of TNW, Terravista, Terravista Estates & Villa Nova
October 2014 Volume 7, Issue 10
GENERALIt was great to have homeowners attend the meeting and
be involved in our neighborhood. They mentioned that they appreciate learning about the meeting from reading the information in the newsletter and from information on both announcement boards. Please note that minutes of the meetings will be posted to our new website, http://www.terranovawest.com. Our new management company, Preferred Management Services, reports that 160 residents have requested logins. If you haven’t registered, please do! According to Preferred Management, there is a completion date for the traffic lights on T.C. Jester. The entire project is scheduled to “go live” late May 2015, so we’ll have the stop signs in place a while longer.
CLUBHOUSEChairs in the clubhouse will soon be getting new covers; and
the Haunted House is scheduled for October 30 and 31. It will surely be a spookily good time for all!
CONSTABLEThere were no thefts from vehicles in August. Great news!!
Continue to keep valuables in your car/truck out of sight; and most importantly, keep your vehicle locked – even if it is parked
REPORT OF MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 9Submitted by Mary Beth Kreml
in your driveway.There were two burglaries of a habitation; one was through
a back gate and back window, and one was theft of garage items when a garage door was left open overnight. If you see a neighbor’s garage door open late at night, consider calling them to let them know. The constables also noted that there was one identity theft. Constables drove over 1,500 miles through our neighborhood during the month of August and continue to monitor motorists driving the speed limit and stopping at stop signs.
TENNIS COURTSAfter you register on our new website, you will be able to see
the tennis calendar to learn when the courts are reserved and/or open.
PLAYGROUNDSoon the playground will be getting new mulch, new mats and
some new swings. Enjoy the fall weather in the coming months and bring your children to the playground!
SWIMMING POOLThe current pool slide will be removed within the coming
weeks, and it will be replaced with a brand new slide for next year’s swim season. We know that children will love the new slide!! Watch the website for pictures after it is installed! Dianne Moynihan, our swimming pool coordinator, reports that the Swimming Pool is now closed for the season. The April 2015 Newsletter will list the days and hours for wristband distribution

KLEIN FORREST PRESENTS: THE GAME’S AFOOT BY KEN LUDWIG
Klein Forest is set for two productions during the fall semester. The first show will be The Game’s Afoot by Ken Ludwig, a farcical comedy who-done-it. Set in December of 1936, the play tells the story of Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes. He has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Performance dates are Oct. 23, 24 and 25. For more information, visit http://www.kleinforestdrama.org.
for the 2015 Swimming Season. Red, white and blue wristbands will not be used any longer and can be discarded. A big THANK YOU to our pool manager, Justin Dresner and our lifeguards Jacen Dresner, Laurel Adams (TNW resident) , Carter Shaw (TNW resident), Reece Boland and Jenny Stevens (TNW resident) for keeping our pool safe and clean this summer.
NEW RESIDENTSCherie Hornsby visits new residents to our community to bring
them information about our neighborhood and a tennis court key. During the time we transitioned between our former management company and Preferred Management Services, some families may have been missed. If you are new to Terranova West, Terravista,
Terravista Estates, the Oaks of Terranova West or Villa Nova and have not received a “new resident” packet, please contact one of the board members to that we can ensure you get the information. And, welcome to your new home!!
FINANCIAL
The Board is very pleased with the reports and financial information that Preferred Management Services provides. We are better able to monitor water and electricity bills for the neighborhood and we have more detailed information about other neighborhood-related finances. We will be working on next year’s budget to ensure that Terranova West remains an attractive, safe community for our families.
