HEARTHSTONE GARDEN CLUB<br />
The ladies of the <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club hopes everyone had a wonderful and<br />
safe Thanksgiving Holiday. Now it is time to finish preparation for Christmas, it<br />
is right around the corner. There will not be a “Yard of the Month” for <strong>December</strong>.<br />
The Yard of the Month Committee will be giving awards for Christmas décor<br />
on <strong>Hearthstone</strong> homes. Winners are chosen for Best Homes overall, Best Front<br />
Doors, Best Mailbox and last year included a Backyard winner for a home on the<br />
golf course. The winners will be picked on <strong>December</strong> 5 th . We see some beautiful<br />
Christmas decorations every year in the neighborhood, get your homes ready!!!<br />
Christmas in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> is such a lovely time of the year.<br />
The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club hosted their 38 th Annual Holiday Auction<br />
Charity Event on Saturday, November 19 th from 6:30-10 PM at the<br />
<strong>Hearthstone</strong> Country Club. Our Auction theme was “Vintage Holidays”<br />
and it was a big success. If you missed our event, you should mark your<br />
calendar to attend next year. We had such a wonderful time with friends<br />
and neighbors at the Charity Auction and appreciate those who joined<br />
us and helped support our Charities. Thank you to all who donated and<br />
contributed to our auctions success!!!<br />
<strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club members are committed to fostering and<br />
encouraging civic beautification, thereby bringing about a closer community<br />
spirit. Since 1998, we have awarded well over $65,000 in scholarships to<br />
students majoring in Horticulture, Agriculture, Landscape or Architectural<br />
Design. In addition, we are dedicated and passionate about supporting<br />
Cypress Assistance Ministries, Woodwind Lake Health & Rehab Center and<br />
the Brookwood Community. We are now working with some local schools<br />
promoting knowledge and involvement in gardening and floral arranging.<br />
We appreciate all the support we received this year and over the last 38<br />
years at the auction. Our ability to give to our charities means so much and<br />
anyone contributing should feel the same pride we feel, because you have<br />
helped someone in need on a local level.<br />
The Park is Open!!!! We did not realize how much it would be missed, but<br />
everyone seems thrilled to have it back. Now that the park is complete, the<br />
garden club will begin working on several areas of beautification in the park.<br />
For those who are unaware, we have several designated areas which have<br />
been updated and prepared for us by the HOA. We all look forward to getting<br />
started on these areas and making the park an even more enjoyable place.<br />
The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club will not meet in <strong>December</strong> to take time<br />
to celebrate the Holiday with our Members. We wish all our friends and<br />
neighbors a wonderful and safe Christmas and Happy New Year. It is a<br />
pleasure to be part of our great <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Neighborhood!<br />
See you around the Neighborhood!!!<br />

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR<br />
HARRIS COUNTY CONSTABLE<br />
The Harris County Constable’s Office, Precinct 5 is now offering a class<br />
on Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). RAD is one of the best women’s selfdefense<br />
courses available. It’s a program based on realistic self-defense<br />
tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive self-defense course for women<br />
that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance,<br />
while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defensive training. If you’re<br />
interested in more information and signing up, go to this link:<br />
www.constablepct5.com/<strong>2016</strong>/06/16/rad-classes-available<br />
Make sure if you or your family goes on vacation to put in a “Vacation Watch”<br />
with our department. That way you’ll know your house is being watched by<br />
our patrol deputies. You can fill out a vacation watch form online here:<br />
www.constablepct5.com/online-forms<br />
Or you can call our dispatch at 281-463-6666.<br />
HEARTHSTONE STREET LIGHTS<br />
The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights<br />
throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like you<br />
see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light poles<br />
along Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods.<br />
Cobra head streetlights need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the<br />
pole number, which is the “address” for the light. It is a six digit number<br />
facing the street. You can report streetlights that are not working or staying<br />
on during the day at http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage (Google<br />
streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do it for you.<br />

FRONT COVER<br />
PHOTOS WANTED!<br />
We are looking for great photos to use on the front cover of<br />
your newsletter! Pictures must be high quality (min 300 dpi). No<br />
cell phone photos allowed. Email photos for consideration to<br />
news@krenekprinting.com with the name of your subdivision,<br />
and any credits that should be published with your photo (such<br />
as a professional photographer.) Names of children and/or adults<br />
shown on the photo will be included by request only. Although<br />
not a requirement, we like to use themes each month based on<br />
holidays, summer, winter, etc. By submitting your photo, you are<br />
giving permission to use your photo on the cover or inside your<br />
newsletter, as well as other Krenek Printing publications.<br />
Deadline for submission is the 5th of each month. The<br />
next due date will be <strong>December</strong> 5th for the January<br />
2017 publications; January 5th for February 2017.<br />
Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should<br />
be reported to PCMI at 281-870-0585. Please note the exact<br />
intersection or closest address. The association has a contractor<br />
doing a monthly nighttime inspection for lights that are out, but if<br />
you see a problem, please report it, so we can achieve our goal to<br />
keep all the lights on all the time.<br />
TRASH DAYS<br />
Trash days are Tuesdays and Fridays with recycling pickup on<br />
Fridays. If you have questions, call 281-368-8397.<br />
LOST & FOUND PETS IN HEARTHSTONE<br />
Folks in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited<br />
with their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a<br />
tag on each dog with their name, address and phone number. Local<br />
pet stores have machines that make tags like this while you wait. At<br />
least that would help found dogs get back home quicker and with<br />
less trauma.<br />
WEBSITE<br />
Please visit the Association’s website. With a more attractive, easy<br />
to use design, the site contains a lot of useful information, including<br />
HOA news, quick reference numbers, free classifieds and a library<br />
of association forms and documents. If you think of anything you<br />
would like added, please let us know. The only thing that has not<br />
changed is the address. It is still at www.hearthstonehoa.org.<br />

SAFETY TIPS - AVOID BEING A VICTIM<br />
1. Call the constable’s office anytime you see a suspicious person and do not<br />
let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is anyone you do<br />
not recognize on your street). <br />
2. Call the constable’s office when you see a suspicious vehicle (any vehicle parked<br />
in front of your neighbor’s home or driving around your street that you don’t<br />
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 catch the bad<br />
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 that you<br />
are there and remember to never open the door for anyone that you do not know.<br />
The bad guys in almost all cases do not want you to be home. Then always call the<br />
constable’s office so that we can check them out. When they leave your house, they<br />
are going to your neighbors. <br />
8. If you have children that stay at home alone, no matter what their age, they<br />
need to go to the door and have a preplanned story for whoever is there (my dad<br />
is working on the computer, he says to come back later). Then have them call the<br />
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, the<br />
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 sight<br />
(covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count).<br />
Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your cell phone as<br />
911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first contacts).<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 homeless<br />
kids through volunteer outreach efforts. Our volunteers search the streets<br />
in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids<br />
improve their lives. Every day throughout the US thirteen kids die on the<br />
streets from abuse, disease and suicide. According to recent statistics<br />
Houston has up to 2,500 kids living on the streets at any given time. Texas<br />
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 youth<br />
of Houston. If you or your organization would like to hold a food or clothing<br />
drive for StandUp For Kids please contact me at HeatherE@standupforkids.<br />
org to learn more about StandUp For Kids or how you can help visit our<br />
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 />

ADOPT A US SOLDIER<br />
Adopt A US Soldier is a non-profit organization that seeks volunteers and<br />
donors to help show the brave men and women fighting for our freedom<br />
that their sacrifices will not go unnoticed. It connects supportive civilians<br />
with deployed soldiers and offers a channel by which to communicate<br />
encouragement and express gratitude to those serving in the United States<br />
Armed Forces. Adopt A US Soldier is sustained by its volunteer workforce<br />
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 from<br />
writing letters and sending postcards, to mailing care packages full of items<br />
a soldier may need or want. Handwritten letters are most important and<br />
meaningful to soldiers. Adopt A US Soldier encourages civilians to adopt<br />
a soldier to show your support for those that are making sacrifices for our<br />
country. If interested, please go to www.adoptaussoldier.org to register.<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 />
Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted, please know<br />
that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/her forever home.<br />
Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at www.lovingarmspetplacement.<br />
com or visit us at Petsmart on Highway 6 and FM 529 each Saturday from<br />
11 AM until 5 PM.<br />

MOTHERS OF YOUNG CHILDREN (MYC)<br />
The moment a newborn baby wraps their tiny hand around a parent’s finger<br />
is a pivotal moment in the life of any parent. The baby not only tugs on the<br />
finger, but on the parent’s heart as well. It is in that awesome moment that<br />
the parent begins to understand the unconditional and abounding love<br />
that God has for each of us. But soon after the little miracle arrives so do all<br />
the questions and sometimes, without any clear answers.<br />
The Mothers of Young Children (MYC) group was organized by St. Cuthbert<br />
Episcopal Church to minister to families with young children throughout<br />
the Northwest Houston community. Both stay at home and working<br />
parents are invited to participate in the group. The group supports and<br />
prays for one another, shares information and ideas on child rearing and<br />
builds lasting friendships. Most importantly, MYC’s focus is on God and<br />
God’s presence in families. The MYC ministry includes:<br />
• Friday morning Bible study at 9:30 AM (childcare provided!)<br />
• Monthly Kids Night In<br />
• Mom’s Night Out<br />
• Playgroups throughout the year<br />
• Service ministries<br />
• Online discussion forum<br />
The MYC group is an exciting ministry filled with open hearts and lots of<br />
energy (and that isn’t including the kids) with a desire to grow in Christ.<br />
St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church is located at 17020 West Road, at the corner<br />
of West and Queenston. For more information, check out our web site at<br />
www.stcuthbert.org or contact Tanya Avery at tanyatj@sbcglobal.net.<br />
