UNIVERSITY HILLS COLOR BROCHURE
The color brochure produced by UHAOH and designed to
highlight many of the unique features that make University Hills such a wonderful place to live
and raise a family is now with the printers. Once it is published, a copy will be mailed to every
residence in UH. In addition, copies of the color brochure will be made available to local realtors, the Las Colinas
Association, the Irving/Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce, and other vantage points.
FOURTH OF JULY FLAG CAPER
The Great Flag Caper is happening
again this year, its 15th anniversary. This year is also very special
as the event is in honor of Pattie Schmidt and Dorothy Schulstad. Both of
these ladies were outstanding citizens who dedicated themselves to the
betterment of their community. Pattie and Dorothy will be missed by friends and
neighbors alike as well as by the many volunteers for the Great Flag Caper each
year.
The schedule for this year’s Flag Caper
program was fixed at the kick-off meeting on May 25th. The children’s
essay is due by June 25th and the flag planting will take place on
July 1st through July 3rd. Anyone seeking more information
or wishing to donate to this worthy cause may contact Nell Anne Hunt at 3704
Hidalgo.
TRUCK TRAFFIC
The
officers of your association are most pleased with the co-operation being
received from the City of Irving and from the Irving Police Department in
response
to the observations made earlier this month
about through traffic by large trucks on our connector streets, Rochelle and
Northgate. Immediately IPD increased surveillance on these roads as some of you
may have noticed. Also, the City of Irving installed NO TRUCK signs at the
entrances to UH (Rochelle/Rte 114, Northgate/O’Connor, Rochelle/Wingren, and
Northgate/Carl). With these signs in place IPD is now in position to issue
tickets to 18-wheelers who might be
cutting through. Of course, the new signage
will not eliminate unwarranted traffic by large trucks. But it is now clearly
posted as an infraction and we should all be vigilant about any transgressors.
If you observe any cut-throughs, please obtain as much detail as you can about
the vehicle, its markings, the time of day,
direction, etc. and relay this information to Bob Kitzman.
SPRING FLING
Although Mother Nature poured down rain and blew
some wind at the start, the storm was short-lived and everyone who attended this
year’s Spring Fling considered it a success. The music, the food, the drink, the
rides, the games, and all the good company were a great way to relax with your
neighbors. Fred Odell wants to make it even better next year, so comments and
suggestions are invited now while he’s compiling his dossier. You may also volunteer
to help with next year’s event so please contact Fred at (972)
650-8035.
