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 />

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 />
