Spring Homeowners Meeting Agenda 041321

Help small businesses and you don’t have to cook on Wednesday!!

Celebrate spring by taking a break from cooking on Wednesday, April 14, 4:30 pm – 7:30 p.m.  We have three great trucks with delectable options for your whole family. The food trucks will be parked by the pool on Orangebrick Way.

Unless indicated, the trucks are able to accept online orders and payment. They are all in compliance with the Santa Clara County Public Health Social Distance Protocol Home Page – Social Distancing Protocol Search.

We are all concerned about COVID-19 safety. So please do your part by:

1. Pre-ordering and pre-paying using the links below.  This will minimize contact time and speed up service,
2. Wear your masks
3. Maintain 6+ feet distance while waiting in line.  We will have the sidewalks marked off but hope the waits will not be too long. If the sidewalk isn’t marked off, use your best judgement to maintain 6+ feet distance.

April 14

Capelo BBQ: Owner and pit master John Capelo has mastered his home state’s Texas style wood smoked barbecue.  His moist and tender brisket is smoked slow and low for 18 hours using local oakwood.  There’s also John’s 8 hr applewood smoked St Louis style pork ribs, 12 hour apple and oak wood smoked hand pulled pork shoulder, Sonoma county organic free range herb rubbed grilled chicken and grilled and sliced Louisiana hot links. And don’t forget to check out John’s four yummy sauces.  As we get closer to April 14 we will be posting the ordering information.

Tlaxiaco Pizza:  Your thin crust pizza orders will be freshly baked in this food truck’s  Almondwood fired stone oven.  Besides the traditional combination, pepperoni, Hawaiian, vegetarian, Marguerita, and chicken selections, they also offer some very tasty Mexican inspired toppings.  As we get closer to April 14 we will be posting the ordering information here.

Falafel Fresh: Chef Ibrahim says he makes the best falafels and invites you to tell him if anyone else makes it better.  So far, from first hand reports that we have heard, our neighbors agree with him.  Have you had zaatar or curious about it?  Then add a mana or two to your order. Chef Ibrahim orders his from Lebanon, because he says they have the best herbs.  The gyros, shawarmas, lentil soup and French fries are also delicious.   As are his Baklava and Burma desserts.  As we get closer to April 14 we will be posting the ordering information.

We have emailed our 2020 Associate Members to become 2021 Associate Summer Members.  For further information go to the 2021 Associate Summer Membership Sign-up page. 

Welcome to the 2021 Shadow Brooks Sharks Cabana season! While this season will look very different from what we are accustomed to, we are thrilled to be joining efforts with the successful swim program of Almaden Riptide. Together, we are thrilled to offer a safe and fun summer cabana swim program. Our season will consist of practices during the week along with a potential of five dual meets, with a possible virtual Championship meet on Saturday, July 17.

While some of you may be thinking, my child does not want to swim for a year-round team, rest assured that our cabana season will be a fun way for your child to improve upon their swim skills while competing to improve their times. As our season approaches, we will make decisions regarding social opportunities for our team. We are committed to creating a safe and fun environment!

For instructions on how to register for this summer season by April 11, 2021, please see our tab on the Shadow Brook website, https://www.shadowbrook.org/swim-team/. For questions, please email us at shadowbrooksharks@nullgmail.com

There will be a Shadow Brook Board Meeting on March 9, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.  As with all our meetings during the pandemic, it will be a ‘Zoom” meeting online.

Board Meetings are meetings that are held about 10 times a year.  While Homeowners Meetings, like the one held in November, are geared towards providing the Homeowners with important information, the Board Meetings are primarily for the Board to discuss activities of the various components of Shadow Brook and vote on certain expenditures and such.  However, at Board Meetings, as with all non-special meetings, Homeowners are certainly welcome to attend.

SPECIAL NOTE:  The Spring Homeowners Meeting will be held on April 13 at 7:00 p.m. This will be a zoom meeting and details and zoom invite will be posted as we approach that date.
