HEARTHSTONE GARDEN CLUB NEWS<br />

The weather and temperatures are fabulous this time of year. It is a great<br />

time to get out in your yard and gardens to finish up anything left to do for<br />

the winter months. Even though our winters are very mild, some of our<br />

plants need extra care and attention. Many people suffered the plague of<br />

the Sodworm this fall, hopefully, our lawns will recover completely. Leaves<br />

are falling and now is the time to plan for tree trimming. It should be done<br />

when the sap is going down in <strong>November</strong>. We risk killing or damaging our<br />

trees if we trim too early, despite what some tree trimmers say.<br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club has been busy preparing for our Annual<br />

Plant Sale in the parking lot at the park on Saturday, <strong>November</strong> 5 th<br />

from 9 AM to 12 PM. If you want excellent plants for your fall and winter<br />

gardens, we will have great varieties of quality plants to choose from.<br />

Come by and check it out!<br />

“SAVE THE DATE” It is time for the <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Clubs Annual<br />

Holiday Auction. The auction “Vintage Holiday’s” is scheduled for<br />

Saturday, <strong>November</strong> 19 th at <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Country Club, from 6:30 PM to<br />

10 PM. Admission is $5 per person. We have a great line up of items this<br />

year. There is always something for everyone! So bring your checkbook<br />

and help support our causes. We have added something new to our<br />

auction this year. We will have Authenticated Sports Memorabilia from<br />

Diamonds in the Rough Sports Memorabilia and Charity Auctions. The<br />

company representative, Steve Renwick, will be present to answer<br />

all of your questions and help with anything related to this part of the<br />

Auction. So all of you sports fans get ready and come on out to see what<br />

is available. *NOTE: DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH ACCEPTS CREDIT CARDS!!!<br />

SAFETY TIPS - AVOID BEING A VICTIM<br />

1. Call the constable’s office anytime you see a suspicious person and do<br />

not let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is<br />

anyone you do not recognize on your street). <br />

2. Call the constable’s office when you see a suspicious vehicle (any<br />

vehicle parked in front of your neighbor’s home or driving around your<br />

street that you don’t recognize).<br />

3. Always keep all your doors and windows locked even when you are at home.<br />

4. Always keep your overhead garage door in the down position. <br />

5. Remember neighbors looking out for neighbors are how the police<br />

catch the bad guys.<br />

6. Make sure to do a vacation watch whenever you go out of town. <br />

7. If someone comes to your door, always go to the door and acknowledge<br />

that you are there and remember to never open the door for anyone that<br />

you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases do not want you to be<br />

home. Then always call the constable’s office so that we can check them<br />

out. When they leave your house, they are going to your neighbors. <br />

8. If you have children that stay at home alone, no matter what their age,<br />

they need to go to the door and have a preplanned story for whoever is<br />

there (my dad is working on the computer, he says to come back later).<br />

Then have them call the constable’s office. <br />

9. Never do business with people you don not know and trust. Never open the<br />

door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys anything from them,<br />

the companies that they work for will quit sending them into your subdivision. <br />

10. Always lock your vehicles and never leave anything of value in plain<br />

sight (covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count).<br />

Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your<br />

cell phone as 911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first<br />

contacts).<br />

Rachel Salazar (12 th ) and Julia Williams (11 th ). There are<br />

five rounds of auditions in all and approximately 60,000<br />

choir students from all over the state of Texas enter the<br />

competition with hopes of earning a spot among the<br />

1,500 singers in the All-State Choir. By advancing through<br />

the district level audition, they earned an opportunity to<br />

sing with the TMEA Region 27 Mixed Choir or Treble Choir.<br />

Music Director Luke Kirkwood and choir members are<br />

extremely proud of these students and look forward to<br />

cheering them on as they compete in future auditions.<br />

CCS WARRIOR ATHLETES SET RECORDS<br />

The fall sports season at CyChristian has been a rewarding one for middle school and high<br />

school athletes. The Warrior football teams are experiencing one of the best seasons in<br />

school history. Cross country athletes set records when they competed on the toughest<br />

course in Texas and volleyball teams brought home trophies from multiple tournaments. In<br />

keeping with the athletic theme for <strong>2016</strong> of “character, courage, commitment,” CCS coaches<br />

have emphasized these qualities in practices, games and events to encourage the team<br />

through the season but, more importantly, to train them for life.<br />

LOCAL MENTORS NEEDED TO MENTOR<br />

ONE CHILD & CHANGE TWO LIVES!<br />

CROSSROADS is a nonprofit United Way agency that provides mentors<br />

for at risk youth between the ages of 10 and 17. Visit our website at www.<br />

Many young people don’t have strong positive adult influences in their<br />

lives to help guide them through these crucial years. Mentoring makes a<br />

difference in both the life of the youth and our community. A commitment<br />

of 1 hour weekly is all we ask. Help us shape the leaders of tomorrow by<br />

contacting Jan, CROSSROADS Volunteer Recruiter at Jan.gibbs@hcjpd.<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 with<br />

hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.<br />

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR 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 />

<strong>Hearthstone</strong> | <strong>November</strong> <strong>2016</strong><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 />

Ready to Foster? Please visit our website at: www.dreamdachs.org and<br />

click on the FOSTER tab to fill out our online Foster Application.<br />

START THE NEW YEAR WITH A<br />

NEW BEST FRIEND AND FAMILY MEMBER!<br />

Loving Arms Pet Placement has an assortment of wonderful dogs and cats<br />

hoping for their forever homes. We have all different types of small to large<br />

dogs, mixed breeds and many wonderful cats to choose from.<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 />
