DON’T MISS THESE DATES YOU MUST BE REGISTERED TO USE THE POOL All information was in the March Newsletter. You can also find it online at www.Peelinc.com. If you do not have internet access, come to one of the above times.
“Please register for the pool on time!”
Although parking in the street may not be “against the law” it can be very bothersome for your neighbors. It blocks the flow of traffic, hinders others from easily entering and exiting their driveways, hinders services such as mail delivery, garbage pick up and lawn maintenance, not to mention it can cause a slower response time for emergency vehicles as they drive down the obstacle course (road). Parking on curves may help cause accidents as much as driving fast. Be considerate of your neighbors and community and please park in the driveway!
Homestead Exemption
If you bought your home last year, don’t forget to make sure you have Homestead Exemption on it. For more information and to get the forms go to www.co.montgomery.tx.us/mcad/ for Montgomery County homes. If you live on the Harris County side of Kings Manor, go to www.hcad.org Some companies send out letters saying that they will take care of this for you at a charge. You do not have to pay someone to do this, it is free. Your Realtor can help you out, for free, if you do not have a computer.

Household tips:
Do you have rust stains in your toilet bowl or tank? To remove the rust use a product called The Works. Only cost about $2 and you can get it at Wal-Mart or grocery stores. Use the one made for the toilet bowl so you can turn it upside down and squirt it on the walls of your toilet tank. Drain the water out of the tank first and try not to get it on the mechanical part of the tank as it could eat up the parts. This will dissolve the rust in seconds. Send in your household tips to
