Please welcome to the board our newest members –
Shyla Conrad (Trustee):
Shyla is replacing Rod McKenzie as a Trustee on the Board. Shyla Conrad and her husband Mark Moreno bought their lot in the Greens of Bear Creek (section off Longest Drive by clubhouse) in 1999 and moved in with three children, Cory and Cale Conrad and Treyson Moreno upon completion of their Bax built home in August of 2000, when the population of Wentzville was just over 5,000 residents. Their youngest daughter, McKenna Moreno – now 24, was born in October of 2000. Shyla immediately became active at Bear Creek when she started playing on the Thursday Bear Creek Ladies Golf League when it started in 2001.
Shyla attended the majority of the homeowners meetings when they started and was one of the three people on the committee to canvas the neighborhood to get the votes to have the pool built. Shyla was also on the Bear Creek Social Committee when it existed. Shyla has a deep love for the neighborhood (having been here when there were less than 100 homes and there were no homes from the clubhouse to North Point Prairie). She owns her own Travel Agency, Wentzville Travel LLC/Sisters at Sea and is a caregiver for her Profoundly Autistic son, Treyson.
Lisa Alexander (C&R Committee):
Lisa Alexander moved to Missouri from Glen Bernie, Maryland after college to care for her ailing grandmother. She remained in the St. Louis area and received her real estate license for the state of Missouri. Currently with BHHS Select Properties, Lisa worked at the St. Louis Post Dispatch/suburban, in St. Charles County.
Lisa has been a resident in Bear Creek since 2001 and has been actively working in the community through the Wentzville Outreach Lions Club. For the last nine years, this club has served senior complexes, veterans, and homeless people by providing meals for the holidays. For the last three years, they have issued backpack and school supplies to local schools.
Lisa joins the Bear Creek Homeowners Association as the Covenants and Restrictions Committee with the interest of getting to know her neighbors and share her expertise with others. She is looking forward to interacting with the subdivision and to continuing the great status of our community.
Additionally, Lisa attends Church on the Rock in St. Peters, MO and for the past five years has been a board member of the Foristell Chamber of Commerce.
Fun fact: Lisa was voted 2024 Citizen of the Year for the city of Wentzville!
