Without question NE Houston has become a HOME destination for countless families. Nobody knows this better than you, the residents of Atascocita. It makes perfect sense
too. We have great schools, easy access to entertainment venues, good commutes to work, and some of the best parks
in Houston. And who can forget … home to the Houston Texans. C’mon now, join the fun, you’re a Texan by location,
it’s time you became a Houston Texans fan!
Please sweep and bag all leaves, grass, pine needles, etc from the front of your own street. Do not allow these clippings in any of the drains. If each family will sweep and bag all the debris from the front of their own home, the problem is solved. All drains must remain clear of these items to avoid flooding.
Also, please be advised there is no duping allowed in the gully areas. Several have been fined for this.
These summer months have brought a tremendous increase in roadside trash. Our beautiful landscaped medians are replete with plastic bottles, food wrappers, chip bags, and other type of refuse. Littering is disrespectful to your neighbors and neighborhood. This littering is also costly because ACIA must pay our landscaping contractor to remove and dump this trash. Please be considerate of your neighbors and neighborhood. Don’t Litter!
Do the Right Thing…….Keep it Clean

interest. All who have attended any of the previous clinics have been placed on the e-mail distribution to advise of unscheduled clinics. If you want to be added so you too may be advised of these additional clinics, please e-mail Sue. Please be advised the Shores Courts have been closed due to safety concerns.

Senior Ladies
FUN TENNISA fun tennis morning for intermediate senior lady players
(55 and older) had been requested and we do have enough interest. Please contact Sue Raymond @ [email protected] if you are interested. It’s always better to have more than four players as not everyone would be able to attend weekly. Currently we have good interest and enough to tentatively start in September. Tuesday morning seems to be most convenient. Be sure to advise if you too are interested and you will be added to the distribution list. Typically an e-mail is sent out several days prior to the play date. One should “Respond to All” so all are in the loop on who is available for the upcoming date. Then, the day PRIOR another e-mail will be sent to confirm if enough players are available. Time and place will also be confirmed as during the summer we try to play a little earlier to beat the heat.
