Community Council - Bringing YOU Your Community Events

 

You’ve probably heard it before, but have no clue what it means.  So, what is the “Community Council,” you ask?  The Cinco Ranch Southwest Community Council is not affiliated or endorsed by Cinco Ranch Residential Association II, however, they are the Council that hosts all events, activities, classes, and camps within Cinco Ranch II.  In other words, your HOA does not present the community events you regularly see, as they are handled by a separate entity known as the Cinco Ranch Southwest Community Council. 

 

The Cinco Ranch Southwest Community Council is administered by a Board of Trustees and is part of the team planning and bringing you the wonderful events and various fitness and education classes held in or around the Lake House. The individuals who serve on the Council Board are not elected per the legal documents, but instead are appointed by both the Residential Association Board and the Board Trustees of the Community Council.  

Although the Council is a separate entity from the Residential Association, the Council does communicate and interact with the Residential Association Board because a very small portion of your assessment money goes to help fund community events and activities (approximately $10 per year).  In addition, the Council solicits support from our contractors and Katy area businesses in the form of in-kind or financial donations/sponsorships for events. The CRSWCC Board goal is for residents to come together and interact with one another and to foster a sense of community with community events.

 

Another role of the Council is to provide health and wellness programs to encourage fitness for all ages, and educational programs to develop skills that will help foster learning in children of all ages.  Over the last few years new classes have been added to the Lake House, including Taekwondo, Drama, and we have amped up the schedules of a few of our existing classes, to better meet your needs.  We’ve also added several new camps to the Lake House lineup and try to bring you a variety of offerings each year.

 

Giving back to the community is another role of council.  Every month a local charity is selected to support.  For instance, this past fall, we partnered with CAPs and Special Pals, located in Katy.  CAPs and Special Pals are nonprofits that provides shelter, adoptions and education for animal lovers in the Katy area. Our generous residents brought in many items requested including dog and cat food, pill pockets for medication, puppy pads, and other supplies to donate. The Community Council also provides opportunities at community events for local students needing volunteer service hours. Students can sign up to participate through their school x2Vol site.
