April Sound Marina Reopens
On April 6 the decision was made to open the marina, except for the two west (short) launches. All safety issues dealing with the docks and tenants of the marina had been finished, a week earlier than antici-pated. Just in time for the holiday weekend.The Marina Executive Board also approved the recommendation to proceed with the redesign and construction of the east side of the ma-rina. The proposal from J.D. Poole was accepted with the understand-ing that the work would begin within the next four to six weeks. For the most part the design of the east dock access for all of the east side marina tenants will mirror the design on the west side.The April Sound marina is a corporation owned by the POA. This corporation is a for profit business. The docks leading to the boat slips are specifically for the use of tenants of the marina. Please be aware that the signs are posted and state that the areas behind the locked gates are for tenants only and their guests when accom-panied by the tenants. Enforcement will include trespassing cita-tions and/or the towing of vessels of those who are not tenants.
As of last summer, the decision was made to cease daily rentals. Ample parking is provided for those residents that are not ma-rina tenants. They are allowed to retrieve their vessels on their trailers and park them overnight. There is a section of floating dock that was relocated to the center dock located between the launches. This is for those who launch their boats on the east (long) ramp and those boaters who are returning and need to temporarily moor or drop off a person to retrieve their car/truck and trailer.At the time this article was written and submitted the lake level was only 2.5 feet below normal pool. With any luck by the time you are reading this the lake will have returned to a level pool before the sum-mer heat sets in. Have a save boating season!

Ladies Welcome Spring WithLatest Fashions
By Jen Wahlstrom
Spring definitely settled nicely into the season for the February 22 luncheon meeting of the April Sound Ladies Association and so has the new line at 4 Hip Chicks. Located on Hwy 105 in the Waterpoint Center you can find the hippest of clothes and accessories this season has to offer.
Nine ladies hit the stage to model the fashions. First up was Sandi Preddy wearing a unique blouse with zippers at the shoulders and accented in colors of cream, tan and brown with a hint of ani-mal print. With the flexibility of being reversible you can wear this frock just about any place. Besides, two different looks for the price of one, who couldn’t afford this great deal?
Next up was Debbie Mask wearing a smooth, creamy tan Mesmerize Pant, a flowing animal print top by Faith and shoes by Volatile. This is definitely an outfit worth wearing to work or a night on the town.
Bobbie Wyka wore a hand painted vest by Adore in yellow and black. The ver-satility of this piece
is endless and can also be worn as a scarf as well as a long or short vest. Pair this up with a black shirt, pants and a blingy belt and you will be a show stopper for sure.
The lovely Diane Ganson took the stage wearing and Ivy Jane spring floral buttoned blouse and skirt in navy blue polyester and spandex with roushed panels. We may be seeing her at our next luncheon
in this one ladies.
Sandy Abrant brought the rodeo to April Sound in her Rhinestone Miss Me jeans, white vest top, blingy black belt and cowboy hat encrusted with turquoise accents. This girl had her gitty up ready to go out on the town.
Our own Sherry Williams made her way down the runway wearing flowing black pala-zzo pants and vivid colored “angel” top with raglan sleeves. Definitely a heavenly look for you, Sherry.
Carole Peters, a fashion icon here in April Sound, didn’t let us down wearing a pair of Mesmerize white pants with a black top by Last Tango. Carole was elegant and sophisticated…a perfect pairing.
Barbara Reed wearing Ivy Jane gray palazzo pants and Merchant black and gray with a hit of blue vest wowed us for sure with this floral and animal print accompanied with a black blouse and black lace cami. Paring this incredible outfit with silver stack bracelets, blingy necklace and dangle silver earrings . . . there’s no doubt she’ll be the talk of the town.
Last but certainly not least, Jen Wahlstrom arrived wear-ing a flowing strapless dress of turquoise and lime green
by Lovely Escapada. A perfect choice for a patio party or perhaps a Caribbean cruise??
The Association would like to welcome Donna Johnson, Midge Robb, Claudette Murphy, Linda Guest, Donna Burg, Betty Ann Daniel, Rita Jezierski, Frances Gillis and Pat Reagan. Congratulations Ladies and Welcome!
A lovely Asian Pacific cuisine was pre-sented which included a build-your-own Asian Chicken Salad with Sesame Dressing, Pot Stickers and Spring Rolls with assorted sauces, Vegetarian Thai Noodle Salad, White Rolls and Butter with Pineapple Coconut Cake for Dessert. Yummy!
The next ASLA Luncheon will be May 23 with 418 District Family Court Judge Tracy Gilbert on “What Judges Do”
If you are not already a member of the ASLA and would like more in-formation on how to be a part of this amazing group of ladies, please contact Michelle Martin at 281-804-0417.

By Alex Den
Mother's Day is a special day to honor the women who have had a positive influence in your life. When I think of Mother’s Day I think of a couple special women, but in particular my Mother. One family tradition that was NOT to be ignored was Mother's Day Brunch. Dad made reservations early and started talking about it weeks in advance. Mom dressed me in my hand-made Easter dress, and my big brother was coerced into wearing his slacks, a button down shirt and (if they still fit) his dress shoes. We always went to the same restaurant and always asked for the same waiter. Amazingly, he remembered us from year to year and made a special fuss over each of us. I know Mother's Day Brunch is a tradition shared by many; but it remains one of my cherished childhood memories.
Brunch endures as a Mother's Day tradition because it gets mom out of the kitchen and can provide a defining family mo-ment; as children get older it's harder to corral them all at one time! The Club has a Mother's Day Brunch on May 13 which we hope will be part of your family's tradition. With a break-fast buffet in the morning, brunch in the mid-morning and early afternoon to choose from, we'll be ready when you are. So if you haven’t figured out what you are doing for Mother’s Day, don’t worry. The Club has you covered.
Tennis and PizzaTennis & Pizza is quickly becoming the thing to do on a Friday night. Every other Friday Director of Tennis Carlos Aguirre hosts Tennis & Pizza for kids. Tennis & Pizza is from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. every other Friday. The kids come out for a fun night of tennis as Carlos and his team do drills, fun games, and finish out the night with Pizza. It’s a great opportunity for parents to drop off there kids for a couple of hours and enjoy a Friday evening out together. Contact the Tennis Center for more information.
Party on the Patio Every Friday through May the Club has Party on the Patio with a great night of food, drinking, dancing and a live band. The band starts at 7 p.m. every Friday night.Updated Calendar:May 4- Cadillac BluesMay 11- Josh Ward Acoustic May 18-HWY 105 May 25- Silver Shoes
The Children’s Cancer Hospital at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is thankful for the generous monetary donation from the April Sound Tennis Association to the Child Life Department. The children and families at MD Anderson will greatly benefit from this gift. Hospitalization can be a dif-ficult time for patients but the thoughtful donation will be used to provide toys and activities for children to play with during their medical treatment.
The Children’s Cancer Hospital is world recognized for its care and treatment of pediatric patients and families during the dif-ficult journey of a cancer diagnosis. While the journey can be long, it can be made less stressful thanks to generous support from the community. A warm thank you is extended to the April Sound Tennis Association for thinking of the Children’s Cancer Hospital whose generous support helps us “make can-cer history” every day.

Easter Eggstravaganza With Petting Zoo, Pony And Train Rides, Egg Hunt Huge Success
By Ann Marie Ricci
The April Sound Civic Association Board would like to express sincere appreciation to all those who made our Easter events such a success! The Eggstravaganza on Easter Sunday, April 8, was the best ever! Penny Funk and Ginny Nelson co-chaired the event for the ASCA.
Penny and her bunny helpers were at Reserve F and near the Club on Easter Sunday morning hiding all the hundreds and hundreds of eggs. The grass was purposely left high for better camouflage, and this year because of the attendance expected, the children were divided into age groups.
When the Bunny, who was on hand to participate in the festivi-ties, did the count-down, everyone scattered for the Egg Hunt and pandemonium reigned for a short time until all the colored eggs were found. Some lucky ones found the special golden eggs with the gold dollar coins inside.
Following the egg hunt everyone dispersed to pet the baby animals in Marsha’s Petting Zoo, and take a pony ride and a train ride, which was newly added this year, or to visit and be photographed with the Bunny. All in all, the Easter Eggstrava-ganza was exciting fun for all ages, and ASCA is proud to have sponsored such a great community activity.
Then, on Sunday, April 22, the Civic Association sponsored the annual Golf Tournament, which is a major fund raiser for our organization. A complete report on the tournament will be in the June newsletter.

Learn About theRailroad Commission of Texas
By Frank Le Grand
Hear guest speaker Ronald L. Kitchens address the Men’s Club at the monthly luncheon on Thursday, May 17. This should be a very informative talk about The Railroad Commission of Texas. The Commission was created by the State in 1891 to regulate the private railroads spreading across the state. This resulted in economic regulation (passenger fares, shipping rates), including entry and exit authority (what locations to be served). Over the years, the Commission's jurisdiction grew to encompass many activities: oil and gas production and transportation (1919), gas utilities (1920), buses and trucks (1931), liquefied petroleum gas (1939), surface mining and reclamation (1976), and alternate fuels research (1991). Economic regulation was joined by health, safety, and environmental regulation. The last decades have brought regulatory changes. The Commission no longer regulates buses and trucks or railroads. The state's oil and gas industry remains, however, a primary focus of the Railroad Commis-sion of Texas.Ronald L. Kitchens was most recently employed as the executive director of the Railroad Commission of Texas, where he also served as director of energy operations and gas services. He is a member of the Interstate Oil and Gas Com-pact Commission and the Potential Gas Committee. He was previously elected mayor and councilman of Manvel, Texas. Kitchens received a bachelor’s degree, a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Science in mathematics from the University of Houston.Why not make your reservation for this Men’s Club luncheon event right now? Just call the country club to reserve your spot. The luncheon will be in the Lakeside Room on Thursday, May 17. Socializing starts at 11:30 a.m. and the meeting starts at noon. The cost of $16.10 will be billed directly to your Club account. Not a member of the Men’s Club? Visitors are always welcome. Call membership VP Wes Weed at 936-447-4331 and let him know to expect you; he or the other greeters will make sure that you feel welcome. When you enter the facility check in at the registration desk to let them know you are there.At 2 p.m. that same date the investment group will meet in the Weston build-ing. This is an open meeting. Talk to Dan Grubb, VP Programs, for directions and specifics. The Investment Group has two May outings planned. On May 1 members will attend the Annual Meeting for Southwest Energy Corp. in Houston. The attendees will meet at the country club parking lot at 9 a.m. and car pool to the event. This event will include a complementary lunch. On May 8, members will meet at the country club parking lot at 9 a.m. to car pool to the Offshore Technology Conference. Complimentary admission tickets will be provided but everyone is responsible for his own lunch.Last month 84 people attended the luncheon and six of them won door prizes. VP Dan Grubb secured prizes from the following sponsors: US Brand Angus Beef, KWIK Car on the Lake, April Sound Country Club, Fajita Jacks, Kuntry Katfish and Storage 105. Please patronize these sponsors and when you do be sure to thank them for supporting our club.

Remember When…… Election Year UpdateBy Kay Mathis, Garden World By Janis Boulware, Precinct 77 Chair
…The Bluebell flowers were found along the roadway to Montgom-ery? There were fields of them…growing on their own with a little help from Mother Nature. Native to Texas, they were brought to the attention of American gardeners by the Japanese, who hybridized it for the florist trade. They bloom from June to September and usually are bluish-purple, but they also come in lighter colors, even white and yellow.Bluebells (Eustoma/Lisianthus) are the inspiration for the name of the famous Blue Bell Ice Cream manufacturer in Brenham. A great place to tour!They are a good container plant and excellent cut flower. The durable blooms will outlast almost any cut flower, staying fresh in water for about a month. They require full sun and are drought tolerant when established. Well-drained soil and a sunny location are necessities to keep the roots from rotting. It acts as a perennial in our area, sprouting again from dormant roots.“FLOWERS ARE THE SWEETEST THINGS GOD EVER MADE AND FORGOT TO PUT A SOUL INTO.” --Henry Ward Beecher
KUDOS to Betty Britt and Harry Peacock for their generous donation of the beautiful Knock Out roses planted in RESERVE F . Garden World's crew was happy to transplant them. Since benches are nearby it's a good place to "smell the roses."
