Safety Update

In response to several reports to the board and management company, following is an update on neighborhood safety prevention measures.   The duties of the Security Company currently working at the Community Pool will be expanded to include periodic driving of the neighborhood. He will report any suspicious or illegal activity to the Frisco Police.
The Safety Committee will be meeting in September to try to organize more block captains.  We will try to reserve SEM or another large venue for this meeting.  We have had some challenges getting a reservation since their focus is on the beginning of the school year, but we expect to be able to confirm soon.
Also anytime illegal activity has occurred or you see anything suspicious in the neighborhood you should immediately call the Frisco Police at Non-Emergency: 972-292-6010 or 911.  If you report something to the police please email the safety committee and RealManage as well with as much detail about location and the situation as possible.  This will enable the board to better focus community resources, as well as be able to communicate our needs with FPD.  Mourning Dove and Bob White Park are city parks and incidents within the parks should also be reported to the city.
Most Panther Creek Estate Residents are law abiding citizens who care about their homes and neighbors.  We have a terrific community and want to continue to work and enjoy together. Please consider getting involved on the Safety Committee, as a block captain or on another one of our 7 volunteer committees and board.  The more eyes and ears we have out watching for issues, and addressing them, the sooner these issues will get resolved. 
Hopefully everyone has your calendars marked for National Night Out on October 7.  We will gather in Mourning Dove Park to focus on creating a safe community, getting to know our neighbors and having some fun with our families and friends!
If you have any questions or suggestions please email the board.

Pool Closed

Regrettably, feces have again been found in the pool and health regulations require that the pool be closed for 24 hours  We will close this morning, and re-open Thursday August 14 @ 10 a.m.

School Supplies Collection for Frisco Family Services

The FFS Back to School Program is in need of our support.  Many of the families they serve are unable to provide the necessary supplies needed for school due to crisis in the family and/or limited income.  They will be providing school supplies, new clothing, new shoes and hygiene items for approximately 500 needy children in Frisco.
Panther Creek Estates Residents are ongoing supporters of FFS and this is a great project in which we can truly make a difference in the community!
Bring  items to one of our two neighborhood drop offs prior to August 12- White Residence 11497 Mansfield Drive, Morgan Residence 12786 Gardendale Drive. For a list of supplies see our PCE newsletter or the FFS website. Thank You.

Welcome Haven Landscaping

Haven Landscaping began work at PCE today and immediately got to work adding color to our entrances. See the newsletter for an article about our new Landscape Company and how/why they were chosen. Be sure to say Hi to Rocky and his crew and enjoy our beautiful surroundings.

Pool Closing Monday 8/4

Following the City of Frisco’s lead, the Panther Creek Estates HOA pool will be closed on Monday August 4, 2008 in order to “super chlorinate” as a precautionary measure.  All chemical levels for our pool have been within the ’safe’ range mandated by the state of Texas. However many North Texas community/city pools are taking proactive steps to treat for parasites and the Board and Management Company felt it was prudent to do the same. The pool will reopen on Tuesday at the regular time.
