MANAGER’S CORNER (RINCÓN DE LOS GERENTES) by Rocky Rangel
Sandhill Valley Members, August is here and the park in full construction mode!
We are looking better and better every week.
I want to say thank you to all of you who continue to work with me during the park’s growing period. Thank you to all of you who attended our Sandhill Valley Gathering last month. Let’s do it again soon!
Pool Reservations can now be made by contacting the office. I will inform the park Via email when reservations are scheduled.
Would you be interested in receiving $100 off your rent?
I want to announce the Yard of the month, and the Most improved Yard will receive $100 rent credit for the Month of September. I will offer this every month moving forward.
(Winners can not win twice within a 6 Month period.)
Speak to James our “Maintenance Technician” or myself if you need assistance.
Keep an eye out for Yard inspection notices as they will continue in August.
Gate completion is scheduled to be this month. I will distribute Gate Codes once construction is completed.
Please do not share the code with non-residents or people who will dump trash in the park!
We have a lot of waste by ourselves. Let’s not allow strangers to fill up our trash bins.
Please do not dump oversized objects in the dumpster area!
Mattresses, Furniture or anything that will not fit is prohibited.
If you have something large to throw away contact me at the office.
Most importantly. THROW TRASH IN THE DUMPSTER. NOT ON THE FLOOR.
The Dog park has a Pet Waste trash bin, “Poop station” installed. Use it please.
Pick up after your pet please and do not let your pet go on to other people’s yards or homes.
More news to come so, let’s be good neighbors and share this with those who do not receive emails!

Sandhill Valley Management-
Socios de Sandhill Valley:
¡Llegó agosto y el parque está en plena construcción! Cada semana nos vemos mejor.
Quiero agradecerles a todos los que siguen colaborando conmigo durante el período de crecimiento del parque. Gracias a todos los que asistieron a nuestra Reunión de Sandhill Valley el mes pasado. ¡Repetimos pronto!
Las reservas de la piscina ya se pueden hacer contactando a la oficina. Informaré al parque por correo electrónico cuando se programen las reservas.
Las reglas de la piscina se aplican como siempre. Limpie después de sus eventos.
¿Le interesaría recibir $100 de descuento en su renta?
Quiero anunciar el Jardín del Mes, y el Jardín Más Mejorado recibirá un crédito de $100 para la renta durante el mes de septiembre. Ofreceré esto todos los meses de ahora en adelante.
(Los ganadores no pueden ganar dos veces en un período de 6 meses).
Habla con James, nuestro “Técnico de Mantenimiento”, o conmigo si necesita ayuda. Esté atento a los avisos de inspección de patios, ya que continuarán en agosto.
La finalización de la entrada está programada para este mes. Distribuiré los códigos de acceso una vez finalizada la construcción.
¡Por favor, no comparta el código con personas que no residen en el parque ni con quienes tiren basura! Nosotros mismos generamos muchos desechos. No permitamos que desconocidos llenen nuestros contenedores de basura.
¡Por favor, no tire objetos de gran tamaño en el área de contenedores!
Se prohíbe el uso de colchones, muebles o cualquier cosa que no quepa.
Si tiene algo grande para tirar, contácteme en la oficina.
Lo más importante: TIRAR LA BASURA EN EL CONTENEDOR, NO EN EL PISO.
El parque para perros tiene un contenedor para desechos de mascotas, una estación para excrementos. Úselo, por favor.
Recoja los desechos de su mascota y no permita que entren en los patios o casas de otras personas.
Próximamente habrá más noticias, así que seamos buenos vecinos y compartamos esto con quienes no reciben correos electrónicos. ¡Boletines impresos en la sede del club!
¡Gracias!

Recipe of the Month
Strawberry-Jalapeño Chicken
Recipe courtesy of Brooke Caison | Approved by the Delish Test Kitchen

Yields: 4 - 6 serving(s) | Prep Time: 20 mins | Total Time: 45 mins | Cal/Serv: 534
This one is for sweet-and-spicy lovers. This strawberry-jalapeño chicken is bound to become your springtime go-to dinner. Seasoned chicken breast gets pan-seared until golden brown, smothered in a strawberry chipotle sauce, and topped with fresh strawberry-jalapeño salsa to create this playful, bright dish. If you’re not a huge fan of the cilantro that gets sprinkled on top, you can easily swap it for fresh basil or parsley.
Strawberry and jalapeño might seem like an odd combination of flavors, but the subtle tartness of the fresh strawberry combines with the fruity spice of the jalapeño and the smokiness of chipotle chiles for a match made in sweet heat heaven. Serve this with roasted sweet potatoes or wild rice for a satisfying, easy dinner that comes together in less than an hour.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Pat chicken dry; season both sides with pepper, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons salt. Add chicken to skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss cilantro, 1 cup strawberries, 1/3 cup jalapeños, 2 tablespoons shallots, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
In same skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook remaining jalapeños and shallots and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, until shallots start to soften, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup
vinegar and stir to deglaze, scraping bottom of skillet. Stir in chile, adobo sauce, BBQ sauce, honey, and remaining strawberries. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and strawberries have started to cook down, 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Return chicken to skillet to heat through. Spoon strawberry salsa over. Top with cilantro.
