LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT I’d like to begin by thanking the many volunteers who helped make our annual Picnic in the Park on July 8 such a big success! It was by far the biggest and best one yet, and many of the events such as the golf tournament, bingo, cake walk, etc., had three and four times as many participants as we’ve had in years past. So there’s no way that it could have been so successful without the dozens of volunteers who gave so much of their time and talent, whether it was planning the different events, decorating, setting up for the different activities and running those activities, cleaning up, etc. And of course Karen O’Neil did her usual amazing job in coordinating everything, which took weeks of her time. This year’s event had a dual purpose as it also celebrated the 40th anniversary of Timberwood Park. In fact, the celebration literally took place on the day or within a day of the 40th anniversary of the Timberwood grand opening celebration. What a vision G.G. Gale had when he developed this neighborhood in what at the time was such an extremely remote part of the city. And anybody who has lived in San Antonio for any amount of time probably heard him on the radio over the decades selling the neighborhood. But 40 years later we are fortunate to have one of the most unique and special neighborhoods to be found anywhere. It was really special that G.G.’s son Jason was on hand at the July 8 celebration for a toast to Timberwood Park’s 40th birthday and to G.G. for his vision and determination that made Timberwood Park possible. Probably the most frequent question that I or any of the other board members get is, “What is up with the clubhouse design?” At the time of this writing, it is further in to the design stage, and in the next couple of months we hope to have drawings, cost estimates, etc. to present to the community, and then have the community vote shortly thereafter. While we want to get this all done as soon as we can, we’re also not in a rush as we want to take as much time as is needed to be sure that it’s all done right, and that it meets the community’s current and future needs. Lastly, it’s hard to believe that the kids will be back in school by the time our next newsletter comes out as August 29 is the official start of school for Comal ISD. I know it goes without saying, but please be mindful of and watchful for the neighborhood kids walking to the bus stops. The bus stop locations typically change from year to year, and beyond the safety risk of passing a stopped school bus, there is a hefty fine for doing so. Thanks for your time, and I’ll see you around the neighborhood. Greg Matula TPOA Board President
