MISSING DOGS: FYI: If you know the owners of a white Boxer dog and a black Lab. Please ask them to email this Hotline Column. Proud has received notification from a resident that these 2 dogs were seen together in the vicinity of QV East Drive & intersections of Clearbrook & Hilton Head the morning of October 23rd (Wednesday). CYPRESS POINT ENTRANCE @ Cartwright: The QV FUND HOA is looking into this concern, by a QV resident, about not enough flower/plant updates. CITY CENTRE @ Quail Valley: QV Garden Club continues with a landscaping project at City Centre, which began in February 2013. “City Centre is a beautiful facility that gives the people of Missouri City PRIDE! “We
wanted the landscaping to reflect the architectural beauty of the building.” (Courtesy of the QV Garden Club.) BROKEN RECORD: This sounds like a broken record BUT it cannot be stressed enough. PLEASE do not leave any items visible in your car/truck when you exit the vehicle. If your items can be seen while passing your vehicle, you become a possible target. DON’T BE PARANOID— BE CAUTIOUS! Always assume that you are being watched. If you place your phone/purse/computer in your trunk before you enter a park/game/fitness center, etc. you are telling “them” that you have valuable items in your unattended vehicle. WHAT THEY USUALLY WANT? They typically
are not interested in a trunk full of groceries. They want your cash, your check book, your credit cards, your lap top, your cell phone. POOR CELLULAR RECEPTION: The only way to improve this is to have a cell tower. Residents say, okay with me, AS LONG AS IT IS NOT IN MY “NEIGHBORHOOD”. That is not possible, so I guess we all just continue to endure the poor reception? HELP PROUD SPONSOR QV PROJECTS: Mail your (tax deductible) donation of $25 or more to: Frost Bank, Lock box Department, Quail Valley PROUD, P. O. Box 367 Dept. 06, Houston, Texas 77001.
