We were thrilled to have received so many fun and interesting names in our Truxor Naming Contest!
(In case you missed it, our new amphibious Truxor machine is one that cuts down underwater weeds and clears debris along the edges of our lakes in a safe and environmentally-friendly way.)
​
We have our Top 5 favorite names; but we need the community’s help to pick one!

Let's be good neighbors and responsible dog owners by cleaning up after our pets! Apart from being smelly and unsightly, dog poop can be hazardous to children and other animals.
​
Dog waste stations are located in park areas throughout the community with trash receptacles for proper disposal. Or if you're walking around the neighborhood, be sure to take a baggie with you and clean up after your pet immediately. By taking these simple steps while walking your dog(s), you help contribute to keeping our community clean and eliminate this common nuisance. Thanks for your cooperation!

The Islanders' Circle
Have you popped open the bottle of Priest Ranch Wine that was included in your River Islands welcome basket and LOVED it? Here's some great news:
​
Priest Ranch, which shares a parent company with River Islands, has created a wine club just for Islanders, with plans for deliveries to be made to our community three times per year, accompanied by fun pick-up parties!

Community Map
When you meet someone who tells you they live in Drake’s Bend, do you know where that is? Did you know that Lakeside is not 360 Lakeside? Wouldn’t you love to have a map that shows all of the River Islands neighborhoods, by name?
This is not a street map, but a neighborhood map, to help you navigate around the community as you put down roots.
