Our Annual Meeting was held on March 30, 2023, at Crosspoint Church. Each Board member gave a review of committee activities for 2022. Mayor George Fuller brought us up to date on happenings in the city and took several questions from the audience.

I hope everyone who attended found the meeting interesting and informative. In addition to homeowners who attended in person, we also livestreamed the meeting so homeowners could watch from home. If you missed the meeting, a recording of the meeting is available on our website, www.StonebridgeRanch.com.

ACTIVENet Launch

Stonebridge Ranch Community Association launches ACTIVENet in May of this year. As reported in the April 2023 issue of Stonebridge Ranch News , ACTIVENet is a facilities, activities, and membership management system. This system will provide homeowners with an expedited way to access select amenities, view availability, reserve and pay for Community Room and Beach Club pavilion rentals online, and register in advance for activities.

Read ahead for detailed information regarding ACTIVENet and what it will offer Stonebridge Ranch management and homeowners, and how to obtain your new SRCA ID card with the ACTIVENet barcode. For complete ACTIVENet digital access, your SRCA ACTIVENet ID card is required. However, SRCA is a large community, and it will take time for all residents to get a new SRCA ACTIVENet ID; therefore, all current SRCA ID cards and a valid Texas driver’s license showing your Stonebridge Ranch address will be honored throughout 2023.

Lifestyle Social Events

ACTIVENet provides an online calendar that will contain all Stonebridge Ranch social events. Homeowners can register for and pay online with credit/ debit cards or e-checks for paid Social Activities, such as Bingo. Homeowners can add funds in advance to their ACTIVENet account and pay for future events with account credit. SRCA front desk staff is able to add funds to your account. Upon written request, SRCA will process a refund check for deposits left on the homeowner’s ACTIVENet account.

SRCA ID Cards

All Stonebridge Ranch residents are required to obtain a new SRCA ID card with the ACTIVENet barcode by the end of 2023; residents need to be present to take a new photo. Homeowners are encouraged to come into the office for new ID cards at their earliest convenience, during one of the belowlisted sessions.

Beginning May 1, 2023, SRCA will be issuing ID Cards at the on-site office during designated days/ times:

• Tuesdays from 9 am-12 pm

• Wednesdays and Fridays from 3 pm-6 pm

Additional evening and weekend hours will be available throughout the spring/summer and will be announced via SRCA communications channels. Unlike past years, ID cards will not be processed outside of above listed scheduled ID card processing days/times so please plan ahead. All current policies/ requirements for obtaining SRCA ID apply; see those requirements on the following page.

10 stonebridgeranch.com
Stonebridge Ranch Day Car Show

Current Residents with SRCA ID Cards:

Bring your SRCA ID card AND a government-issued photo ID with your Stonebridge Ranch address listed (Adults 18+). If the picture on your child’s ID card is several years old and the child’s appearance has changed dramatically, please bring along documentation to prove each child’s residency and guardianship (one of the following): a birth certificate, adoption certificate, or passport for each child. You may bring physical copies of these documents to the office or show a picture of them on your smartphone.

New Residents or Existing Residents

Without SRCA ID cards:

For homeowners with names listed on the property deed, you need only to provide a valid Texas driver’s license showing your Stonebridge Ranch address. If you are new to the state and do not have a Texas driver’s

license yet, you must show your current license as a form of photo ID, plus any billing statement showing your name and Stonebridge Ranch address. The billing statement can be digital and shown to staff via your smartphone. (It is the homeowners’ responsibility to know in advance if their name is/is not on the property deed.)

11 S TONEBRIDGE R ANCH N EWS | May 2023

For permanent adult residents of the household, whose name is not listed on the property deed, you will need to show your Texas driver’s license with your Stonebridge Ranch address AND a billing statement showing your name and Stonebridge Ranch address. You must be accompanied to the office by the owner of record listed on the property deed. (It is the homeowner’s responsibility to know in advance if their name is/is not on the property deed.)

For Leasing Tenants:

Please note all current tenant ID cards expired on 4/30/23. To obtain a new ID card, you and the homeowner must both fill out and sign the Transfer of Privileges form. Forms must be submitted to the office with the annual $100 processing fee. Additionally, the leasing tenant and all resident members of the tenant household must come into the office for the photo ID and present proof of residency documents as listed below:

• ADULTS 18+: a Texas Driver’s license with Stonebridge Ranch address AND a billing statement with Stonebridge Ranch address.

• CHILDREN 3‐17: Birth Certificate or Vital Record, Adoption Certificate, and/or Passport.

Tenant ID Cards processing takes 5-7 business days so please plan ahead. Incomplete forms and/or missing fees will not be processed.

Prior to the issuance of Leasing Tenant ID Cards, homeowners electing to lease their homes in accordance with SRCA’s governing documents must make sure their Lease Registration is complete: SRCA must have on file a completed Lease Registration Form, a copy of the executed lease, property management agreement (if applicable), and received payment of non-refundable registration fee of $100 per year for each leased property. The deadline to register is 30 days after an owner executes a lease agreement. Failure to register and/or submit the required form and fee will result in a fine of $250 per month.

Complimentary Guest Cards and $15 Pool Guest Punch Cards

New this year through ACTIVENet, both the Complimentary Guest Cards and the $15 Guest Punch Cards will be added to residents’ ACTIVENet accounts; this is no longer issued as a physical card.

Each Stonebridge Ranch household may obtain one (1) Complimentary Guest Card. After the five free punches are used up, homeowners can purchase additional Guest Punch Cards for $15, good for five (5) guest visits.

All Guest Cards (Complimentary and the $15 Card):

• Can only be used in the presence of a resident in good standing.

• Cannot be used for pool entry on holidays and Stonebridge Ranch Day.

• Cannot be used for entry into social events at the pools, with the exception that the Complimentary Guest Card can be used for guest fees into Evening on the Veranda ($15 Pool Guest Punch Card CANNOT be used during Evening on the Veranda).

• Cannot be used to pay for pavilion rental guest fees.

• Will expire at the end of each calendar year and unused funds are non-refundable.

Pool Guest Fees

Lifeguards at the pool gates can now accept cash, credit/debit cards, account credit, Complimentary Guest Card, and a $15 Pool Guest Punch Card for pool guest fees. If paying by cash, exact change is appreciated, and lifeguards will not make change for bills higher than $20. Lifeguards will continue to accept checks for pavilion rental guest fees.

Facilities Rental – Community Room and Beach Club Pavilions

Through ACTIVENet, Stonebridge Ranch homeowners may view availability, reserve, and pay for Community Room and Beach Club Pavilion rentals online using credit/debit card and e-check payments. There is a new rental process as we transition to reservations through ACTIVENet. In addition to the Community Room rental charge, the $250 Security Deposit must now be paid in full when the room is reserved. It will be refunded after the reservation if rental requirements are met, and the Community Room is left in good condition after the rental.

In addition to the rental charge and deposit, a security fee will be charged if alcohol is served during a rental. The fee covers the cost of hiring off-duty McKinney Police Officers and is required for Community Room reservations where guests will

12 stonebridgeranch.com

be consuming alcoholic beverages. The security fee must be paid in full when the room is reserved. The current security fees are $360 for 2-4 hours rental period and $450 for 5 hours rental period, subject to change by the McKinney Police Department.

Management companies of SRCA Sub-Associations will be able to view Community Room availability online through ACTIVENet. Rental reservations will continue to be processed by SRCA Office, after receipt of the completed reservation form via email to STONEB@ciramail.com.

All current SRCA policies for Beach Club Pavilion rentals will continue to stay the same. Homeowners are limited to 2 pavilion rentals per day (pavilions are not available for rent during holidays and Stonebridge Ranch day). Renters may bring up to 25 non-resident guests per pavilion rental, and payment of nonresident guest fees must be made at the start of the rental during party check-in with lifeguards.

ACTIVENet is an exciting addition to SRCA! It will allow digital access at select SRCA functions. We ask for your patience as we roll out this service. As always, contact our on-site staff with any questions: 214-733-5800 or STONEB@ciramail.com.

SRCA Summer Sports Lessons

Among the many amenities available to Stonebridge Ranch families on the Association’s 500+ acres of common areas, the pickleball and tennis courts are two of the most popular. During the spring and summer months, SRCA contracts with expert training professionals to provide training to tennis and pickleball enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.

PICKLEBALL LESSONS

Stonebridge Ranch provides three pickleball courts to residents at Stonebridge Plaza at 7501 Coronado Drive. Pickleball, known to be a combination of badminton, tennis, and ping-pong, uses paddles that are larger than table tennis paddles, but smaller than normal tennis rackets. The ball used is similar to a whiffle ball (lightweight with holes). Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the US.

are held every Saturday morning and are the best way to get started in the sport. These group lessons cover equipment, rules, gameplay, and basic skills. Advanced lessons are also available on dates to be arranged with the instructor.

TENNIS LESSONS

According to www.TennisCT.com, Tennis tops the list of sports scientifically proven to increase life expectancy. According to the study performed by Copenhagen City Heart Study (CCHS), there was a clear correlation between social interactions and longevity. The physical demands and challenges of playing tennis along with balance and mental strategy requirements of the sport, contributed to positive life-enhancing factors as well.

Stonebridge Ranch has been offering tennis lessons and camps for 25 straight seasons for players of all ages and skill levels. Through Select Tennis Academy (SRCA’s contracted tennis instructor organization), thousands of children have participated in camps and clinics over the years, improving their skills while learning a lifetime sport.

Stonebridge Ranch has contracted with a certified pickleball instructor to offer lessons to residents. Jeremy Puckett is a Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) instructor. He has been competing in pickleball tournaments for six years and has been providing training for three years. “Learning to play pickleball is a great way to meet new people as it is a very social sport,” he says. “In pickleball, it is common for individuals to show up at the courts and mix in with other groups, creating social connections with people that have similar interests.”

Stonebridge Ranch residents may sign up for pickleball lessons with Puckett by calling 469-5346092 or scanning the provided QR code. He offers a variety of lessons, from beginner groups to high-level individual instruction. The beginner group sessions

Stonebridge Ranch parents are pleased with the training their children receive from the Academy. “I have two boys that have been with Select Tennis Academy for 6 years,” says Paula Jorgenson. “The coaches are very talented and super fun, too. They play games as well as provide fitness training and help each player improve their game.”

19 S TONEBRIDGE R ANCH N EWS | May 2023

Tennis students are encouraged to wear shorts, a T-shirt, sneakers, a cap, or sun visor, and plenty of sunblock. Bring your own water bottle and write your name on it.

Select Tennis Academy also encourages students to own a racket, however, it is not necessary. “It is nice to have your own racket so you can practice after camp,” Academy partner, Dave Wiest says. “But if you are new to the game and want to try it before investing

in a racket, the Select Tennis Academy will give you a loaner to use. You do not need to bring your own tennis balls. Our baskets are full, and we have a few thousand of them.”

To register for summer tennis camps and for more information, please visit www.selecttennisacademy.com. Please note that only Association-contracted instructors are permitted to provide sports lessons on SRCA property. ◀

We so enjoyed our last mystery, that the last book before our summer break will be the award-winning mystery, The Lost Man by Jane Harper. Set in the Australian Outback, the book is the winner of the 2019 Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel, the Thriller Award for Best Paperback, and the Barry Award for Best Mystery/Crime Novel.

There are three hard copies at the McKinney Library. The book can also be found at the Plano, Allen, and Frisco libraries, offering reciprocal library cards to McKinney residents. Audiobooks can be found in Plano or Allen libraries. We look forward to seeing you and discussing this book in person in the SRCA Boardroom or via Zoom.

You can lose 30% to 50% of hair cells before changes in your hearing can be measured by a hearing test. Damaged inner ear cells do not grow back. In addition to damaging hair cells, noise can damage the auditory nerve that carries information about sounds to your brain.

We encourage people to think about their own hearing and get their hearing checked. Early identification and intervention for hearing loss is important!
