FRIENDLY REMINDER ABOUT PETS

Dear Residents,

We have had several reports of pets being off their leashes and running through the community unattended.

We kindly ask that ALL pet parents abide by our Community Documents, which states, in part: “No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind will be raised, bred or kept on any Lot, except that a reasonable number of cats, dogs or other generally recognized household pets may be permitted on any Lot; however, those pets which are permitted to roam free, or in the sole discretion of the Board, make objectionable noise, endanger the health or safety of, or constitute a nuisance or unreasonable source of annoyance to the occupants of other Lots shall be removed from the Lot upon the request of the Board. If the animal owner fails to remove the animal from the Lot after the Board’s request, the Board may remove the animal, in addition to imposing such other sanctions as are authorized by the Declaration and the By-laws. All animals will be kept in strict accordance with all local laws and ordinances (including leash laws) and in accordance with all rules established by the Association. All persons that bring an animal onto the Common Maintenance Areas shall be responsible for immediately removing any solid waste of said animal.”

Silver Oaks, HOA is  outside of the San Antonio City limits, and homeowners may contact Bexar County Animal Services:   FOR A DOG OR CAT PROBLEM, CALL: 210-207-4738 (Old number was 210-207-6650)  If you have a problem with a domestic animal, such as a cat or a dog, the county animal services can assist you, and this is a free service. If you have a complaint about a dangerous dog or cat, a nuisance barking dog, a stray cat, kittens, puppies, pet adoptions, negligent pet owners, please give the county a call.
An additional option is to purchase a device such as a ‘Bark Stopper’ from a pet store.  The cost is about $15.00.  The device is about 5” long and it can be attached to your side of the fence.  There is no harm to the dogs and a bark stopper is an effective tool.

We want to remind all residents and their guests of the importance of our covenants and following the rules, as situations with loose animals can prove unpredictable, and we want to avoid dangerous situations.  Animals should be on a leash at all times if they are not in your yard.

Thank you for helping to make our community great!!

Sincerely,

Easter in the Park
Saturday, March 24 10:00 – 12:00
Silver Oaks Community Park

Join us in the park for a joyful, friendly event. We will hide eggs for the children, the Easter bunny will hop by for pictures and some other outdoor fun will be available.

The Egg hunt will begin at 10 am. We recommend getting there early. To be fair to all children, please do not start early.

Sections of the park will sectioned off by age group, so please plan to have your children gather by the appropriate signs for their age, if participating in the egg hunt. Signs graciously donated by Mustard Seed Early Childhood Development. The age groups are: Under 4, 5-6, 7-8, 9 and older.

Rules and other information for the egg hunt:
• Stay on the sidewalks before 10am but spread out (will try to have caution tape up).
• Parents, please don’t let your children on to the egg fields prior to the start whistle and help patrol for other kids.
• Parents, let your children gather the eggs
• There are plenty of eggs to go around (estimated each child could get up to 25 eggs…and 20-25 is a decent amount so please don’t get greedy).
• We will have containers and bins set out to leave the plastic eggs after you’ve taken the contents. Please help us retain as many plastic eggs as possible.

After the egg hunt:
• Lance Meyer photography will be taking pictures throughout and will have Easter Bunny photo opportunity (after the egg hunt). We will have a grab bag that will be with the photographer, get your picture taken with the Easter bunny and grab an item from the bag.
• We have seven prizes to raffle off so be sure to get your raffle tickets for the prizes you would like to hopefully win. These are free.
• Bring games and outdoor activities and stay a while.
• A porta potty has been rented, so no need to leave if you need to use the restroom.

Thank you to all the volunteers who donated and help make this happen!
