FEBRUARY IS NATIONAL CHILDREN’S DENTAL HEALTH MONTH<br />
The American Dental Association, along with the ADA Foundation, is pleased to<br />
provide you with the <strong>February</strong> <strong>2017</strong> National Children’s Dental Health Month<br />
(NCDHM) slogan, “Choose Tap Water for a Sparkling Smile.” This month-long<br />
national health observance brings together thousands of dedicated dental<br />
professionals, healthcare providers and educators to promote the benefits of<br />
good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers and many others.<br />
Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits<br />
helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. To<br />
access free online resources that can help you with teaching children about<br />
good oral health, visit ADA.org, click on Public Programs and then National<br />
Children’s Dental Health Month.<br />
CHILDREN’S ORAL CARE<br />
Take good care of your child’s baby teeth. They do eventually fall out but<br />
until they do, baby teeth play an important role in helping your child bite and<br />
chew food, and speak clearly. Many of the same treatment and evaluation<br />
options that adults have are also available to kids. These include X-rays, dental<br />
sealants, orthodontic treatment and more.<br />
WIGGLY TEETH - When a child is about 6 years old, his/her teeth will begin to<br />
come loose. Let your child wiggle the tooth until it falls out on its own. This will<br />
minimize the pain and bleeding associate with a lost tooth.<br />
CAVITIES - Cavities can develop when sugar-containing foods are allowed to<br />
stay in the mouth for a long time. Bacteria that live on the teeth feast on these<br />
bits of food and can eat away at tooth enamel. Saliva washes away the acid<br />
between meals, but if your child is always eating, there may not be time for<br />
this acid to get washed away.<br />

(CPV) DEED RESTRICTIONS VIOLATIONS<br />
IMPORTANT!!!! DO NOT PARK YOUR VEHICLE WHERE IT BLOCKS THE<br />
SIDEWALK. The Harris County Sheriff’s Department is monitoring this<br />
violation throughout the neighborhood and repeated violators can be<br />
ticketed! For more information enroll in <strong>Copperfield</strong>buzzclub.Nextdoor.<br />
com. Sgt. Adam Lightfoot puts out important information on various laws<br />
and issues.<br />
MILDEW: Mildew on the sides of homes have been cited, as well as painting<br />
needed on some homes. We would like to think you care and are proud<br />
about your neighborhood. Get a copy of the deed restrictions if you do not<br />
have one by going into the <strong>Copperfield</strong> website, www.copperfield.org and<br />
tag on <strong>Copperfield</strong> Place Village.<br />
FENCING: Check your fencing and repair if boards are loose or missing!<br />
Animals can either come in or out of your yard if boards are missing on to<br />
the street or green belt.<br />
GARBAGE CANS MUST BE STORED OUT OF SIGHT! Garbage pick up is<br />
scheduled for Tuesdays and Fridays. In the evening, please remove<br />
trashcans from the street after pickup! Put trash out the night before and<br />
not 2-3 days prior to pickup! If you have issues or questions as to why your<br />
trash is not being picked up, contact Debbie @ SCS.<br />
No boats, trailers, commercial trucks or inoperable vehicles are allowed<br />
in driveways or street and are against deed restriction violations! You<br />
will be charged a fee if you have been cited before for the same offense<br />
or for repeated violations. This offense creates emergency vehicles access<br />
ability at times and therefore considered a serious violation.<br />
(CPV) DO NOT DISREGARD DEED RESTRICTION LETTERS!<br />
Important that you read and act accordingly. If you think you received<br />
this in error, please contact SCS immediately. The deed restriction drive<br />
through is done once a month and violators will be cited. Repeated cites<br />
will automatically be charged against your account.<br />

(EC) HOLIDAY DÉCOR WINNERS<br />
Congratulations to our Holiday Décor winner 15134 Chetland Place! A big thank<br />
you to all of the Easton Commons owners who participated in the decorating this<br />
year - it goes a long way to adding some holiday cheer!<br />
(EC) SPRING GARAGE SALE<br />
The Easton Commons Spring Garage Sale will be held on Saturday, April 8 th from<br />
7 AM until 3 PM. Residents who wish to participate should set up in their respective<br />
driveways. All garage sales should be promptly closed at 3 PM, with any unsold<br />
items or refuge removed from public view.<br />
Always take safety precautions when hosting a garage sale. Have multiple adults<br />
working the garage sale, lock the doors to your home, close your garage door and<br />
wear an apron or a smock to hold your change instead of using a cash box.<br />
(EC) NEXTDOOR.COM<br />
The HCSO (Harris County Sheriff) has partnered with Nextdoor.com, a private<br />
social network for neighborhoods to use technology and social media forums to<br />
promote neighborhood safety, crime prevention and strengthen relationships<br />
between law enforcement and the community. It is a free and private social<br />
network for neighborhoods. https://nextdoor.com/?harris_county.<br />
(EC) ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS<br />
The assessment fees for <strong>2017</strong> have changed from<br />
$519.67 to $528, a difference of $8.33, which represents<br />
a 1.6% increase over last year’s assessment. The<br />
increase addresses the increased cost of providing<br />
services to our village. Although assessments have<br />
increased, we remain one of the lowest in <strong>Copperfield</strong>.<br />
Assessments were due by January 1, <strong>2017</strong>. Payments received after January 31 st<br />
will incur a late fee penalty and interest.<br />

grahammanagementhouston.com/paydues.html. All major credit cards are<br />
accepted.<br />

it.” All Best Buy stores will recycle up to three items at a time, with<br />
no hassles. You simply go in with your old electronics, hand them<br />

INSPIRING WORDS<br />
“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors and let<br />
every New Year find you a better man.” Benjamin Franklin<br />
We wish all Northmead Village residents a Happy and Prosperous New<br />
Year and hope that one of your New Year’s Resolutions will be to meet one<br />
new neighbor and make them your friend in this coming year!<br />
(NM) INTRODUCING THE BOARD AND VOLUNTEERS<br />
We thought it would be a great idea to introduce our residents to<br />
Northmead Village Community Volunteers and Board Members. This<br />
month, we would like to introduce Northmead HOA Volunteer Ro Rhea.<br />
Ro has lived in <strong>Copperfield</strong> for 35 years and will proudly tell you she is<br />
an original resident. Her children grew up and went to school here. Ro<br />
recently worked on our Splash Day event at the pool and the Movie in the<br />
Park event a few weeks ago. When asked about why she volunteers, Ro<br />
said, “I volunteer because I love the neighborhood and want to help make<br />
our community and better place to live.” We thank her for her time and<br />
effort working on our fun events.<br />
(NM) VOLUNTEERS - IT’S A GREAT TIME TO<br />
START A NEW YEAR AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS!<br />
I know it’s cold now but we are thinking ahead…We are putting together<br />
an Easter Egg Hunt Event for the Spring so sign up for that committee<br />
if you want to get involved. It’s a fun new year in the neighborhood<br />
and a great time to get involved and make new friends. Please contact<br />
grahammanagement@sbcglobal.net if you can volunteer to help with<br />
planning and/or at the events.<br />
(NM) NORTHMEAD VILLAGE WEBSITE<br />
Be sure to check out the Northmead Village website for all the latest news<br />

(NM) BRRRRR…. YOUR PETS GET COLD TOO!<br />
Remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet, so<br />
keep your animals inside. From the American Veterinary Association:<br />
• Smaller pets should be kept inside as much as possible.<br />
• Large or small, if your pet is shivering, you should bring them in<br />
immediately.<br />
• Owners of senior or arthritic pets should use extra care in cold weather.<br />
• Short haired breeds will do better with a sweater on walks and even<br />
longer haired breeds can benefit if the walk is a long one.<br />
• Warm cars are inviting to animals looking for a warm place in the cold.<br />
Make noise on your car before starting it to scare them away.<br />
• A cold car can act like a refrigerator by keeping cold in and intensifying<br />
it. When it’s cold outside, don’t leave pets in a car for more than a few<br />
minutes.<br />
• Clean up any spills from anti-freeze, it’s a sweet temptation to pets.<br />
• Check out what the Humane Society says about keeping your pet safe in<br />
cold weather. www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/protect_<br />
pets_winter.html<br />
• Lost Pets! - It’s even more important to help lost pets find their way home<br />
in the cold weather. If you see or find a pet that is lost make sure it’s is<br />

(NM) MIGRATORY BIRD WATCH AND PREVENTION<br />
It’s time to begin work on the prevention of nesting Egrets and Herons<br />
in Northmead Village. The city of Ft. Worth has a great website full<br />
of prevention information and pictures of all the birds at http://<br />
fortworthtexas.gov/migratorybirds/.<br />
• October-January<br />
Remove any old, abandoned nests.<br />
Trim your trees. Remove deadwood, thin tree canopy to allow sunlight<br />
between limbs and other trees.<br />
• January<br />
Familiarize yourself with “sentry” birds. They are the first to arrive, looking<br />
for good nesting places.<br />
• <strong>February</strong>-March<br />
Watch for “sentry” birds and report sightings to your neighbors.<br />
Each species has a different breeding period. Be on the lookout for these<br />
birds beginning at these times:<br />
• <strong>February</strong> - Yellow-Crowned Night Heron<br />
• March - Cattle Egret, Great Egret, Great Blue Heron, Little Blue Heron,<br />
Snowy Egret<br />
• Check daily for birds and nesting material in your trees.<br />
Begin scare tactics as soon as you see birds on or near your property.<br />
Use noisemakers, water spray or shine lights at night.<br />
Hang “scare eye” balloons or other moving objects in trees.<br />
Use long poles, tennis balls or water hoses to disturb early nesting material.<br />
• Do not harm birds or eggs. Migratory birds are protected by international<br />
treaty. Once birds begin sitting on nests, eggs are probably present. You<br />
cannot kill, harass, move or disturb the birds during nesting season.<br />

RECYCLING PICKUP<br />
Southcreek trash pickup is on Tuesdays<br />
and Fridays. Southcreek has backdoor<br />
pickup. This means that our trashcans may<br />
be placed at the back of our driveway. We<br />
do not have to have our trashcans at the<br />
curb. Big items such as yard clippings and<br />
tree branches should be placed at the curb.<br />
Our deed restrictions state that all trash,<br />
including grass clippings, cannot be on<br />
the curb until 6 PM the night before pickup<br />
and your trashcans must be picked up<br />
from the curb by 6 PM, the day of pickup.<br />
So… you cannot have trash on the curb<br />
until Monday and Thursday nights until<br />
6 PM and everything must be removed<br />
from the curb by 6 PM on Tuesdays and<br />
Fridays. This includes any bags that<br />
contain lawn clippings. If you have a<br />
lawn service, have them place the bags<br />
behind your fence and not leave the<br />
clippings on the curb.<br />
Our recycling day is Tuesday. Please have<br />
your recycling bin at the curb by 7 AM on<br />
Tuesdays. Please pick up your recycling<br />
by 6 PM on Tuesdays to comply with our<br />
deed restrictions.<br />

ILLEGAL POSTING OF SIGNS:<br />
It is illegal to post anything to the poles of stop signs or any signs owned by<br />
Harris County. According to our Harris County Precinct #3 Commissioner<br />
Steve Radack, a sticker is placed on the back of all signs stating state<br />
laws which cover the defacing of signs - and posting flyers falls into this<br />
category.<br />
The sticker is worded as follows:<br />
“State Law U.T.C.A. 6701d-11, Section 14<br />
Any person who shall deface, injure, knock down or remove any sign shall<br />
be guilty of a misdemeanor.”<br />

(WC) MILKWEED<br />
AND MONARCH<br />
BUTTERFLIES<br />
Tropical or Mexican<br />
Milkweed oftentimes is<br />
chosen by many Houston<br />
area gardeners to retain<br />
any Monarch Butterflies that<br />
have chosen to remain here and<br />
not migrate further south. To help<br />
these butterflies that have chosen to<br />
stick around, many gardeners have found<br />
that keeping their Milkweed trimmed to 6” or<br />
less in height between October until March will<br />
help prevent a harmful parasite - the OE protozoan parasite, from building<br />
up too heavily. This parasite is harmful to Monarch butterflies if heavily<br />
concentrated and can actually do more harm than good if not properly<br />
administered in your garden. If you have chosen to plant Milkweed in order<br />
to attract these beautiful visitors, you may want to keep your specimens<br />
trimmed appropriately to keep the parasite concentration down. If there<br />
is a hard freeze in <strong>February</strong>, your Milkweed will need to be trimmed down<br />
to the ground as the cold will not allow it to live, so trimming to less than<br />
6” will then become unnecessary.<br />
(WC) FEBRUARY GARDENING TIPS<br />
Continue to be prepared to cover any tropicals or temperature-sensitive<br />
plants as we potentially will see some evenings that will hover at or below<br />
freezing. March will usually bring warmer nights, so be diligent for one<br />
more month and protect your plants. <strong>February</strong> is when pruning should<br />
begin to take place for hardwood trees, roses and crape myrtles. Following<br />
the best approach to cutting and balance will provide the best results;<br />

• Identify any limbs that might be a hazard to someone underneath it or to<br />
a building or structure nearby. Broken branches, weak branches, narrow<br />
growth angles and other “odd” growth faults should be identified. Any<br />
dead or dying growth should be removed, as well as any limbs that cross<br />
over or rub against each other, as these cause disease/damage to the<br />
tree/bush as well as prevent light to filter down into the lower limb areas.<br />
Removing such growth will also encourage fruit production in fruit trees<br />
and promote ripening during production seasons.<br />
• Follow the three-cut method on all large limbs. If a single cut is made the<br />
weight of the limb will pull the limb down and damage trunk or adjacent<br />
limb areas before the cut has been completed, which will injure the tree<br />
and cause unsightly wounds<br />
• Make sure any cuts are done above the flush level with the trunk or<br />
adjoining limb. Do not make any stub cuts.<br />
• Be sure to not remove lower branches on newly planted trees. Wait until<br />
the tree has matured for 2-4 years before lower limbs are removed.<br />
• Crape Myrtles should be pruned back to at the very least remove dead<br />
seed pods, otherwise new blooms will struggle to become established.<br />
Keep in mind that crape myrtles produce blooms from “new wood” or new<br />
branch growth, so some pruning is required annually to achieve flowering.<br />
• You may choose to select a certain height and then cut all upward limbs<br />
to not exceed that height or you may prefer to allow the tree to maintain<br />
a natural height and shape, which is somewhat more challenging to do.<br />
Either method is acceptable, but realize that allowing for a natural shape<br />
will likely allow for more blooms to occur.<br />
• Remove all “suckers” or shoots of new growth from the base of the plant<br />
now, as well as during the warmer growth season. Suckers draw nutrients<br />
away from other plant areas and cause unsightly growth that will create<br />
an odd, unstable shape for the tree/bush.<br />
Remember any projects such as irrigation installation, tree removal<br />
or large-scale landscape installation/removal work is much easier to<br />
complete now, before our days turn steamy and hot, so take advantage of<br />
the cooler days now!<br />
(WC) SAVE THE DATE<br />

TEXAS CHRISTIAN ALUMNI - STAR STUDENT & STAR ATHLETE<br />
Texas Christian School Class of 2016, Michael Johnson received a full ride scholarship to Chadron State<br />
University where he is a star athlete and student. Due to his dedication and skill, Michael was named<br />
the Eagle of the Week for Chadron State. Chadron wrote that “Johnson had his first career doubledouble<br />
in an Eagle win during Christmas break. The freshman was the key to victory down the stretch,<br />
grabbing several defensive rebounds and following up with free throws to finish with 18 points and<br />
13 rebounds, which were both highs for either team in the game. In the final three minutes, Johnson<br />
had seven of the Eagles’ final 15 points, adding four critical rebounds and one steal during that span.”<br />
Texas Christian is proud of the student athlete Michael has continued to be. Keep shining for the Lord<br />
Michael!!!<br />

cookies to support service projects in the first known cookie sale. Cookie sales today fund individual<br />
troop activities, as well as supporting Council camps and programs. Girl Scouts who sell Girl Scout<br />
Cookies are also developing the 5 skills of: goal setting, decision making, money management, people<br />
skills and business ethics. These are skills that will last a life time and lead to future success. Don’t miss<br />
trying our new S’mores cookie! It starts with a crispy graham cookie which is double dipped in crème<br />
icing and a chocolatey coating. Yummy! Of course, so are all the OTHER great cookies!<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA -<br />
COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />
For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in<br />
youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout<br />
Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping<br />
youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910.<br />
Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, selfconfidence,<br />
ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills<br />
and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with<br />
programs and activities that allow them to:<br />
• Try new things.<br />
• Provide service to others.<br />
• Build self-confidence.<br />
• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />
Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are<br />
important as individuals while promoting activities<br />
that lead to personal responsibility and high selfesteem.<br />
As a result, when hard decisions have to be<br />
made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right<br />
choices can be made.<br />
Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys<br />
ages 5 to 21. Scouting through the local Packs and<br />
Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our<br />
youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA<br />
Sam Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District<br />
which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years<br />
old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10<br />
Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our<br />
Units typically meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the local<br />
Elementary Schools including: Birkes, Copeland,<br />
Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, Horne, Jowell,<br />
Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />

FREE! SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE DINNER<br />
Take a break from cooking dinner on Tuesday, <strong>February</strong> 28 th ! Join us at<br />
Epiphany Lutheran Church for our Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner.<br />
Dinner is served from 5-7 PM. Enjoy some Mardi Gras music while you eat<br />
dinner! Children will create an Alleluia Banner, Mardi-Gras masks and Crowns<br />
and end the evening with a Parade and sing-a-long as we bury our Alleluias<br />
in preparation for Lent. Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as<br />
penitence, because it’s the last day before Lent. Lent is a time of abstinence,<br />
of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday came about as the last chance to<br />
indulge yourself and to use up the foods that weren’t allowed in Lent. Giving<br />
up foods: but not wasting them. In the old days there were many foods that<br />
observant Christians would not eat during Lent: foods such as meat and fish,<br />
fats, eggs and milky foods. So that no food was wasted, families would have<br />
a feast on the shriving Tuesday and eat up all the foods that wouldn’t last<br />
the forty days of Lent without spoiling. The need to eat up the fats gave rise<br />
to the French name Mardi Gras; meaning fat Tuesday. Pancakes became<br />
associated with Shrove Tuesday as they were a dish that could use up all the<br />
eggs, fats and milk in the house with just the addition of flour.<br />
ST. CUTHBERT EPISCOPAL CHURCH<br />
17020 West Road • www.stcuthbert.org<br />
You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove<br />
Tuesday Pancake Supper on <strong>February</strong> 28 th from 5:30-7 PM. We<br />
will eat pancakes and play bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated<br />
during the Middle Ages. Food items like meats, fats, eggs, milk<br />
and fish were regarded as restricted during Lent. To keep such<br />
food from being wasted, many families would have big feasts<br />
on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating pancakes on<br />
Shrove Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, fats<br />
and eggs as possible before Ash Wednesday began. In France,<br />
the consumption of all fats and fatty foods on this day coined the<br />
name “Fat Tuesday” or Mardi Gras.<br />
You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday services at St.<br />
Cuthbert Episcopal church on March 1 st at 6:30 AM, 4:30 PM and<br />
7 PM. All services have Holy Communion and the imposition of<br />
ashes. The 4:30 PM service is designed for children and their<br />
families. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season<br />
of Lent, which is dedicated to reflection, prayer and fasting in<br />
preparation for Easter.<br />
Lenten Study: Forty Days in the Force<br />
Join St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church on Wednesday nights March<br />
8 th through April 5 th , from 6:30-7:30 PM for our Lenten series,<br />
Forty Days in the Force. All ages are invited to participate. We<br />
will explore the many spiritual themes that weave throughout<br />
the Star Wars films. From the Force to the dark side, the issues<br />
presented in the films have a moral and spiritual complexity<br />
that, if paid attention to, can help us better understand our place<br />
in the world and our relation to others and to God. Through Forty<br />
Days in the Force we hope to see the challenges and victories in<br />
our everyday Christian life. There will always be a teacher and<br />
a student and there will always be evil, but thanks to God and<br />
his Son, there will always be good and we will always have a<br />
purpose. Nursery will be provided for infants and toddlers. Star<br />
Wars activities will be provided for preschoolers. Those ages 6<br />
through 106 will explore the force together.<br />

STEPS FOR STUDENTS: A 5K RUN/WALK<br />
Are you a runner who enjoys family-friendly races? Are you an alumnus of<br />
a parochial school? Do your children, grandchildren or children of friends<br />
attend a parochial school? Do you like to have fun with 10,000+ plus<br />
people? If you answered yes to any of these questions or even if you didn’t,<br />
the <strong>2017</strong> Steps for Students 5k Race/Walk is for you. Steps for Students<br />
is a 5k USA Track and Field Association sanctioned race which benefits<br />
Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Held every<br />
year in <strong>February</strong>, Steps for Students has grown to include over 10,000<br />
participants, filling the streets around the Co-Cathedral with runners,<br />
walkers, families, kids and adults. Each Catholic school in the Archdiocese<br />
has its own team which you can join or donate to. Race Day begins with a<br />
sunrise Mass at the Co-Cathedral followed by the race itself. In <strong>2017</strong>, the<br />
race will take a new, East-West direction under I69, but it will still begin<br />
and end at the Co-Cathedral. Afterward, you can enjoy the Post Race Party<br />
in the nearby Race Day Village. All donations and registration fees (minus<br />
a $3 fee) go directly to your designated school, where they can be used<br />
to help fund scholarships, improve<br />
the campus, add to the educational<br />
experience of the students or whatever<br />
is needed or desired. If running and<br />
getting up early is not your thing, there<br />
is even a Snooze option. You can also<br />
sponsor your favorite runner or school<br />
by simply making a donation.<br />
The date for the <strong>2017</strong> Steps for<br />
Students 5k Race/Walk is Saturday,<br />
<strong>February</strong> 18, <strong>2017</strong>. The sunrise Mass<br />
begins at 6:30 AM with the race itself beginning at 8 AM. Registration is<br />
currently underway, but the last day to register at the low price of $15<br />
(which includes a t-shirt) is <strong>February</strong> 1, <strong>2017</strong>. After that, registration<br />
increases to $25, so register early. Steps for Students is a great way to<br />
get out, get some exercise, see our beautiful city with your own eyes and<br />
make some new friends, all the while supporting Catholic education and<br />
the wonderful opportunities it provides to students of all backgrounds<br />
and faiths. For more information about Steps for Students go to http://<br />

STANDUP FOR KIDS<br />
How would you feel if you saved a kid’s life? StandUp For Kids is an all<br />
volunteer organization dedicated to saving the lives of at-risk and<br />
homeless kids through volunteer outreach efforts. Our volunteers search<br />
the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and<br />
street kids improve their lives. Every day throughout the US thirteen kids<br />
die on the streets from abuse, disease and suicide. According to recent<br />
statistics Houston has up to 2,500 kids living on the streets at any given<br />
time. Texas has the highest rate of homeless youth in the U.S.<br />
StandUp For Kids needs supplies for our Houston program, which provides<br />
food, clothing, counseling and a safe environment for the homeless<br />
youth of Houston. If you or your organization would like to hold a food<br />
or clothing drive for StandUp For Kids please contact me at HeatherE@<br />
standupforkids.org to learn more about StandUp For Kids or how you can<br />
help visit our website at www.standupforkids.org.<br />
The single greatest need, for homeless and street kids is our continuous<br />
caring and real support. We must convince them that we care, we want<br />
them back and we want to help them get off the streets.<br />

encouragement and express gratitude to those serving in the United<br />
States Armed Forces. Adopt A US Soldier is sustained by its volunteer<br />
workforce located across the United States.<br />
After a supporter asked a soldier what they needed, his response was as<br />
follows: “No requests, just don’t want to be forgotten.” -LCPL O.J.T. III<br />
When registering for Adopt A US Soldier your involvement can range<br />
from writing letters and sending postcards, to mailing care packages<br />
full of items a soldier may need or want. Handwritten letters are<br />
most important and meaningful to soldiers. Adopt A US Soldier<br />
encourages civilians to adopt a soldier to show your support for<br />
those that are making sacrifices for our country. If interested, please<br />

FOSTER CHILDREN:<br />
PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)<br />
When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent.<br />
That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities<br />
arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out<br />
how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month.<br />
Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help<br />
prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long<br />
course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council<br />
for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s<br />
BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses.<br />
Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives<br />
with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see<br />

DREAM DACHSHUND RESCUE<br />
DREAM Dachshund Rescue, Education & Adoption Mission is a Houstonbased<br />
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing abandoned<br />
Dachshunds and finding new homes for Dachshunds whose owners can no<br />
longer care for them. Our committed volunteers, working closely with local<br />
veterinarians, provide our Dachshunds with quality medical care and loving<br />
foster homes until they are adopted into carefully screened, forever homes.<br />
DREAM is currently looking for caring volunteers to provide temporary<br />
foster care for our many rescued Dachshunds-in-need, currently awaiting<br />
adoption. Prior to their adoption, DREAM continues to pay for all<br />
medical care and monthly heart worm prevention. There is no long-term<br />
commitment required. Food, water, shelter and a soft place to rest is all<br />
you need to provide. The “love” just comes naturally.<br />
If you have a little room in your heart and in your home (and your family pets<br />
are up-to-date on their vaccines and monthly heart worm preventative),<br />
then you are who we are looking for! There is no feeling in the world like<br />
the unconditional love you’ll receive from a rescued Dachshund, plus the<br />
friendships you’ll make when you join the DREAM Team! The more foster<br />
homes we have, the more Dachshunds we can save. Please help save a life<br />
and consider fostering today!<br />
Questions? Please send us an email to: Contact-Us@DreamDachs.org and a<br />
volunteer will respond to you right away with all the information you need!<br />

We are a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. If you are not ready to<br />
commit to adopting a dog or cat permanently, the animals also need<br />
foster families. Besides providing food, water and a safe place to sleep,<br />
foster families socialize the animals so they are people friendly. Include<br />
the animal in your daily home life inside your home. Get to know them as<br />
individuals so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes.<br />
Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible.<br />
Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted,<br />
please know that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/her<br />
forever home.<br />
