Sonoma HOA ANNUAL MEETING
The Annual Meeting for the Sonoma HOA will be held Wednesday, August 8, 2012, at 7PM at the Barefoot Pool. You will be receiving your meeting packets in the mail shortly. Your participation in this annual event is crucial. In order to elect members to the Board of Directors, we are required to have a quorum of voters either in attendance or who have returned their proxies. This year we will be filling the places of two members whose terms are expiring. While we encourage your attendance at the meeting, we urge you to return your proxy, just in case you have a change in plans. Your proxy will be exchanged for your actual vote if you are in attendance at the meeting. If we reach at quorum, we will avoid the need for calling a second meeting and the extra expenses that an additional meeting incurs.
We hope to see you there….refreshments will be served!!Regards,Donna Kohn

Back To School Checklist
As aparent, there’snodoubt thatback-to-school season requires a lotofeffort to get your kids all set for the challenges of the classroom. But it’s also an important time to consider your child’s health, says Daniel Howard, M.D., a pediatrician with The Austin Diagnostic Clinic (ADC).
“From making sure all of the proper vaccinations have been administered on schedule, to getting their kids back on ‘school year’ sleep schedules, health isobviouslyahugeconsideration forparentswithschool-agechildren,”Dr.Howard says.• Vaccinations 101. Children should receive a variety of vaccinations and
booster shots to prevent them from getting many serious and highly contagious diseases.
• Hearing and vision tests. Consider getting your child’s hearing and vision tested before they begin school to prevent learning challenges in the classroom.
• Health information. Parents should be prepared to provide schools with a list of emergency contact information that includes telephone numbers for parents, close family, pediatrician, and dentist.
• Diet and sleep. Healthy eating is a critical part of a child’s physical and mental development and can help curb the risk of childhood obesity. Sleep is also essential—kids should get between eight to 11 hours per day, depending on their age.
Daniel Howard, M.D., is a pediatrician for The Austin Diagnostic Clinic, a multi-specialty clinic with physicians representing 21medical specialties at more
than six locations throughout Austin and Central Texas. Dr. Howard sees patients at the ADC Cedar Bend, at 2400 Cedar Bend Drive. For more information,

Although most toddlers in the United States have received all recommended vaccines, many adults and adolescents have not. These missedvaccinationsincreasetheirriskforinfection,hospitalization,death,anddiseasespread,andtheycontributetotheestimated$10billionthatis spent annually on vaccine preventable diseases in the United States.
Evidence shows that currently approved vaccines are safe and effective. However, coverage rates for persons of all ages vary nationwide. Reasons cited include lack of health insurance, unfamiliarity with vaccine recommendations, limited access at physicians’ offices, or the perceived cost of vaccines.
What you need to know is that obtaining recommended vaccines in a timely manner can prevent disease. The Advisory Committee on ImmunizationPractices(ACIP)recommendstheimmunizationscheduleto the right for generally healthy adults and adolescents.Formoreinformationaboutimmunizationsandwheretogetthem,
