HWY 512 Clean-Up

How many of you noticed as your driving up HWY 512, how void it is of the normal trash one might see on other roads.

Thanks to the fine efforts of the UBPOA's Board and its members, a clean-up day was spent on June 5, 2010, picking up trash on the highway.

Listed below are the folks who participated in this cleanup. The day ended with a a great pot luck. Good companionship was shared by all.

Presidents Message

April 28, 2009

The Upper Brazos Property Owners Association (UBPOA) is a non-profit entity established for the sole purpose of helping the residents of the Brazos Canyon area to enjoy the beauty, wildlife and community that is truly a refuge in the wilderness. We recognize that no surroundings can be enjoyable and safe without the hard work of others to promote these conditions and work in harmony with the environment.

The Board of Directors met on April 15, 2009 to reaffirm the following goals:

Goal #1 – Preserve the beauty and sanctuary of Brazos Canyon for both people and wildlife.

Goal #2 – Enable the enjoyment of recreation (hiking, fishing, snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, etc.)

Goal #3 – Provide a sense of community

Goal #4 – Maintain open communications with and support other associations (Brazos Canyon Volunteer Fire Department, Brazos Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association, Enchantarama Water Association, etc.) within the Canyon.

In closing, I draw your attention to the other sections of our website. In particular, the UBPOA wants to encourage your membership in our Association, as the best way to remain informed of valuable information in our community. If you would like information about our Association and/or about the Brazos area, please refer to the contacts on the website.

Roger Shinnick

President

Of Interest:

Something not known to many folks that use computers. As we get older, even some of the young folks, it gets harder to read the type on the computer monitors. So a good way to increase or decrease the size of the type on the monitor is as follows.

If you have a mouse with a wheel. Most do.

• Depress the CTRL key. Continue depressing.
• Move the wheel on the mouse.
• Forward - small print.
• Backward - Large Print.

Surprised? Enjoy.
