September 2011 BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE The MVNA members pictured above took time off from their “summer vacation” to volunteer a few hours to help our State House of Representative Jose Menendez’s staff prepare for their annual “Back-to-School Supply Drive”. We had a wonderful turn out and it wasn’t work, it was play. Representative Menendez has thanked us and now I would like to thank all the volunteers who donated their time for this very worthwhile event. It was fun!
PTA MEMBERSHIP & BOX TOPS It is time to renew your MVE/PTA membership. It is only $5.00 per person and you do not have to attend meetings, nor do you need to have children enrolled in school. The PTA uses these funds to pay the bus drivers for field trips. The funds all go back to the students. We will have applications at our September 27th meeting. Remember to save your pink “Box Tops for Education” coupons located on Betty Crocker, Ziploc, Nestle, Land O Lakes, Hefty and many other products. The coupons are worth 10 cents each and MVE redeems them for much needed sports equipment. We have a collection jar available at our sign-in desk or you can drop the coupons off at the school office.
SEPTEMBER MEETING Our next meeting will be held September 27th at 7:00 pm in the Meadow Village Elementary School Cafeteria. Our special guest speakers will be Councilman Ray Lopez and State Representative Jose Menendez.

MEADOW VILLAGE ELEMENTARY Because of budget cuts, volunteers are needed to help Meadow Village Elementary School keep their Library open. You can set your own schedule and your duties would involve scanning books in and out and doing a little shelving when there are no students in the Library. Contact the school at 397-0650. MVES also needs donations. Last year they were able to give away daily prizes to students. They cannot do it this year due to budget constraints. Prizes needed include small items from the dollar stores, convention booths, etc. Everything is welcomed. They also need cash donations to purchase the “dog tags” that the children love. The school gives the dog tags for “character awards” such as good citizenship, attendance, participation, improvement, etc. Please help support Meadow Village Elementary School.

Meadow Village Elementary needs your help
I would like to think those who volunteered for the library at the school but still more volunteers are needed. Can you give a few hours to help out? Please think about it.
I received a message from Ms. Sallie Frederick, the Principal and she has indicated with budget cuts, and their growth in attendance from 1% to 1.2% that help is needed. Ms. Frederick also indicated that last year they were able to give away prizes in drawings daily for students who were present. If anyone wants to donate items to give away, they will be greatly appreciated. Items from the dollar stores, from convention booths, etc. Everything is welcomed. The school does not have funds to purchase those items this year. Nor do we have funds to purchase the "dog tags" that the children love so much. We give those for "character awards" such as good citizenship, attendance, participation, improvement, etc. We appreciate all that your association does for us."
Meadow Village Elementary School and their staff throughout the years, and especially this year, has really helped our association out. They allow us to hold our monthly meetings there, they leave their air conditioning on in the cafeteria for us, they let us store our Hospitality Committee boxes in their storage room, deliver them to us and return them to storage. They advertise our meetings on their marquee. They clean up after our meetings, and don't complain if we sometime stay late. Anything we ask of them they are more than willing do to. Where would our association be without them? We really appreciate them. They truly take care of us and I would like to help take care of them in their time of need.
So, what I would like to ask, if anyone can donate any of these items or money for the school to purchase these items. It is a good deed that the school is doing in trying to get kids excited about school and education.
One more thing, it is again time to renew your PTA membership.. It is only $5.00 per person and you do not have to attend any meetings. You can join even if you have no children in school. The money received helps the PTA pay for field trips for the students, the funds all go back to "the students". We will have applications at our September 27th meeting.
See you all soon,
Virginia Salmons

Meadow Village Elementary School 210-397-0650 library volunteers needed.
Library help needed.
In order to keep our library open all day each day next year we will need volunteers. Would you put a request in your newsletter for volunteers. Volunteers would sit behind the desk and (scan books) check books in and out and maybe do a little shelving when there are no students in the library. They could set their own schedule and do as many days and/or hours as they want.

Street detours Marbach Meadow way
Please tell your friends and neighbors about this. In order to avoid this you could always use Timbercreek to Military or use 151 turn around to get to the otherside of Marbach. It will just be for a few days.
Please be aware of the future intersection work that will take place on the dates below. For the temporary closure at Meadow Way the contractor will provide a local detour using Meadow Leaf to exit the subdivision. Please help us get the word out to your Neighborhood Association members.
I wanted to give you an update on when we are scheduled to address the final water main tie-ins for Meadow way and Military for this phase, so that advanced notice to the general public can be addressed and AT&T can be aware of our schedule. Based on the revised traffic control details, Ballenger shall implement the revised traffic control configurations on the following dates:
Meadow Way- August 8 – 13th 2011, This will require the closure of Meadow Way through these dates
Military- August 15th- 24th 2011, My intention is to minimize the amount of time that we shut down the outer lane of Military drive, it is my belief that the work required in the outer lane of military is approximately 1-2 days.

Help stuff backpacks for kids
With school starting soon our State House of Representative Jose Menendez is again delivering backpacks to the school children whose parents are unable to afford school supplies. I have been asked to get a group together to stuff these backpacks and I am asking for your help.
If you could please help out I and Jose would really appreciate it. Jackie and Wavie and others did it last year. So Jeff Peterson said the supplies should be in this coming Monday and we will sit up tables in his office and start stuffing. With enough volunteers we could get it done in no time.
Jose has supported us in the past so let's support him. So ask your friend or neighbor if they could help also. I would like to see at least 10 or 15 people get involved and we could get it knock out in a few hours.
I think 9:30 or 10:00 am would be a good start time but will know something definitely soon. But it will be next Monday 1 August. So please let me know if I can count on you.

Timber creek update
The asphalt on Timbercreek drive was replaced from curb to curb and from end to end per COSA ROW instruction and approval. SAWS pipe line turns into the easement to the property at the corner of Timbercreek and Loop 410 access road where the tunnel starts to go under Loop 410. COSA ROW inspectors approved SAWS mill and HMAC overlay plan which goes to the start of the radius at that intersection. This is typical for this type of repairs and replacements. We are currently scheduled for street striping on Thursday (7/14) and the speed bumps are scheduled for delivery and installation next week.

Timbercreek update
I want to keep you inform about what is going on in your neck of the woods. The project might be in one neighborhood but it does have an effect on the surrounding neighborhoods. I hope that some of the drivers avoid these streets that are being worked on as there are alternative routes to take.
Ramming Paving Contractor (sub to SJ Louis) started the milling of the street this morning. SAWS and COSA ROW Inspector had our concern with the dust in the area today and SJ Louis has mobilized a water truck directly for Timbercreek Drive . They will start watering the street and continue to water as needed throughout the day.
As for planned progress for this street will be:
Ramming-continue to mill the entire street from curb to curb (approximately 2 days) and SJ Louis will make necessary repairs to the curbs on Timbercreek dr.
Ramming-Mill Lakeside Parkway while SJ Louis will make necessary repairs to the curbs on Lakeside Parkway
Ramming-Remobilize to Timbercreek to HMAC Overlay
Ramming-HMAC Overlay Lakeside Parkway
The whole process will be dependent on how fast SJ Louis can make the repairs to the curbs so Ramming and overlay the street. Curbs must be in place prior to street overlay.
