The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club’s Yard of the Month<br />

for November is Roger and Tina Bailey’s at 14810<br />

Avila Bend. The entire front border of the home<br />

meets the fall color challenge, highlighted by an<br />

array of multicolored New Guinea Impatiens and<br />

red roses. These beauties are supported with a<br />

background of Foxtail and spike ferns accented<br />

by a Sego Palm and a Southern Magnolia tree. The<br />

result is an eye-catching fall mulicolor contrast<br />

with the home’s pristeen white brick exterior.<br />

Yard of the Month


HEARTHSTONE GARDEN CLUB<br />

NEWS DECEMBER <strong>2017</strong><br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club had been very busy since September<br />

preparing for our Fall Plant Sale and 39 th Annual Holiday Auction. We<br />

want to take the time to thank our friends and neighbors who have<br />

supported the garden club and our efforts by purchasing plants<br />

and attending our Holiday Auction. Our plant sale and Auction are<br />

the clubs only fundraisers and our way of raising money for our<br />

neighborhood beautification, scholarships and supporting some of<br />

our local charities. Without your generosity, all of this would not be<br />

possible. Our garden club is fortunate to have such wonderful, caring<br />

and supportive people. Thank you!<br />

A special thank you to Kristen Patterson for all her hard work dealing<br />

with the trials and tribulations of a plant sale. Kristen worked very hard<br />

putting this sale on for our friends and neighbors. Kristen certainly<br />

gives a great deal of time and effort to our club and she is certainly<br />

appreciated. Thank You Kris!<br />

Our Auction this year “Ruby Red Christmas” was a “celebration” of<br />

our upcoming 40 th Anniversary. The Ways and Means Committee and<br />

members worked diligently to provide us with some great auction<br />

items. Thank you to DeeAnn Schunneman and her team for all the<br />

hard work. Our Ways and Means Committee is a wonderful group<br />

of ladies, which work very hard to make our Auction a success. The<br />

Auction was a lovely evening full of fun, excitement, socializing and<br />

the opportunity to obtain some wonderful items donated for our<br />

Live and Silent Auctions. Whether looking for that special item, one<br />

cannot live without or a gift, we usually have something for everyone.<br />

Oh and we cannot forget the “Delicious Homemade Goodies” baked<br />

by our members. Thank you ladies! The Sport Memorabilia, back by<br />

special request and brought to us by Steve Renwick with “Diamonds<br />

in the Rough,” was great! Steve had fabulous authenticated sports<br />

memorabilia for Pro and College sports lovers alike. Whether you<br />

are a baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer or golf fan, there<br />

was something for everyone. The highlight of the Sports Auction was<br />

the highly desired items of our very own World Series Winners, the<br />

Houston Astros players. There are always great items available for just<br />

about any sports fanatics. We hope you were able to get that special<br />

item you wanted, if not, maybe he will return next year.<br />

I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler days we have been experiencing.<br />

The changing of the leaves is just beautiful. This is probably one of the<br />

biggest things I miss about living where there are definite seasons. Fall<br />

is such a beautiful time of the year. The special things, which come<br />

with fall, Thanksgiving and time with family and friends, celebrations,<br />

awesome food and of course, “I ate way too much.” We do hope<br />

everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving!<br />

I just love the scent of pinon and firewood in the air this time of year.<br />

The scent of cinnamon and spice going in and out of stores, as people<br />

shop and prepare for the coming Holidays. Decorations popping up<br />

in stores and neighborhoods. People getting their homes ready for<br />

family, friends and celebrations of the holidays. The excitement of<br />

children as they prepare their Santa List and the much awaited for<br />

“Christmas Break.” Don’t you just love the Holidays?<br />

Speaking of Holidays, the <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Clubs Yard of the Month<br />

Committee’s annual Christmas judging and selection of the most<br />

beautifully decorated homes, doors and mailboxes is on <strong>December</strong><br />

4<br />

<strong>December</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Community Newsletter


10 th . If you want to be considered, please be ready. There are first,<br />

second and third place winners recognized. I cannot wait to see who our<br />

winners are this year. I love seeing the imagination of our neighbors, as<br />

they light up their yards and homes for Christmas. One of my fondest<br />

childhood memories of Christmas was driving through neighborhoods<br />

with my family looking at all the beautifully decorated homes. Coming<br />

from a middle class family with four children and a stay at home<br />

mother, this was something very special, which I continued with my<br />

own children. Looking at Christmas lights is something I believe most<br />

people enjoy whether it is just the beauty or the special memories and<br />

moments it brings to mind. I encourage you to get out and enjoy the<br />

beauty within our own neighborhood, I believe you will be glad. Get<br />

out and make memories with those you love!<br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club will not have a monthly meeting in<br />

<strong>December</strong>. We will have our Holiday Party and celebration with our<br />

members. We will resume our monthly meetings on January 16 th in<br />

the ladies locker room at <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Country Club. Social begins at<br />

6:30 PM followed by our guest speaker and meeting at 7 PM. Our guest<br />

speaker for January will be Wallace Ward presenting “Cactus and<br />

Succulents - BFF’s in the Garden.” Mr. Ward is the previous Director for<br />

Houston Cactus and Succulents Society and the Native Plant Society<br />

of Texas, a retired lawyer and a Prickly Plant Grower extraordinaire.<br />

Cactus and Succulents are such a lovely part of gardening, you will not<br />

want to miss this wonderful speaker. Please plan to join us and bring<br />

your friends. You do not have to be a member of the garden club or<br />

country club to attend.<br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club would like to wish all our friends and<br />

neighbors a Wonderful Holiday Season! We wish you much love, joy<br />

and celebration and safe travels, in all you do. Remember the reason<br />

for the season. See you around the neighborhood my friends and<br />

neighbors!<br />

Vickie Macfarlane President - <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club <strong>2017</strong>-2018<br />

Merry Christmas!<br />

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR 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<br />

self-defense courses available. It’s a program based on realistic selfdefense<br />

tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive self-defense<br />

course for women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk<br />

reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of handson<br />

defensive training. If you’re interested in more information and<br />

signing up, go to this link:<br />

www.constablepct5.com/2016/06/16/rad-classes-available<br />

Make sure if you or your family goes on vacation to put in a “Vacation<br />

Watch” with our department. That way you’ll know your house is being<br />

watched by our patrol deputies. You can fill out a vacation watch form<br />

online here:<br />

www.constablepct5.com/online-forms<br />

Or you can call our dispatch at 281-463-6666.<br />

HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS<br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights<br />

throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like<br />

you see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative<br />

light poles 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<br />

staying on during the day at http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage<br />

(Google streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do<br />

it for you.<br />

Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should be reported<br />

to PCMI at 281-870-0585. Please note the exact intersection or closest<br />

address. The association has a contractor doing a monthly nighttime<br />

inspection for lights that are out, but if you see a problem, please report<br />

it, so we can achieve our goal to keep all the lights on all the time.<br />

LOST & FOUND PETS IN HEARTHSTONE<br />

Folks in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited with<br />

their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a tag on<br />

each dog with their name, address and phone number. Local pet stores<br />

have machines that make tags like this while you wait. At least that<br />

would help found dogs get back home quicker and with 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 of<br />

association forms and documents. If you think of anything you would<br />

like added, please let us know. The only thing that has not changed is<br />

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<br />

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

person is 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<br />

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<br />

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

for anyone that you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases do<br />

not want you to be home. Then always call the constable’s office so<br />

that we can check them out. When they leave your house, they are<br />

going to your neighbors.<br />

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

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

whoever is there (my dad is working on the computer, he says to come<br />

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

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

open the door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys<br />

anything from them, the companies that they work for will quit<br />

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 />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />

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 important as<br />

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help<br />

our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />

Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />

to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />

units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />

ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON SCHOLA CANTORUM<br />

Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church?<br />

Singing in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St.<br />

Elizabeth Ann Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children<br />

Grades 4-12 for its after-school choir program. The choir is responsible<br />

for enriching the Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every<br />

Wednesday from 3:45-5 PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses<br />

on singing music from the rich Catholic tradition, including chant<br />

and polyphony, as well as the finest modern church music. Time<br />

is devoted to building the children’s skills of music reading, vocal<br />

technique, thinking about the words and the structure and meaning<br />

of the Mass. Service hours are available for older students. For more<br />

GET INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT!<br />

Feeling a little bah-humbug? Want to be the Grinch and stay that<br />

way? It is OKAY! Not everyone can get into the holiday mood, but you<br />

can at least try! Here are 10 ways to get into the holiday spirit!<br />

1. Reach out to family and friends. Make phone calls to parents,<br />

siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, whomever you can reach. Ask<br />

how they’re doing, exchange news and feelings and express your<br />

love for them.<br />

2. Decorate the house. Hang up lights in front of your house, put<br />

up decorations, do everything! Hang wreaths on your front door and<br />

put up flashy lights to show off your spirit! The more decorations you<br />

have, the more festive you’ll feel!<br />

3. Listen to holiday music. Listening to holiday music will pump<br />

you up for the holidays! Play holiday music in the car, at home or just<br />

when you have free time. As you listen, think of all the exciting things<br />

that come with the holidays!<br />

4. Volunteer. You will immediately see, feel and soak in how blessed<br />

YOU ARE.<br />

5. Throw a party! Have a get together with people you haven’t seen<br />

in a long time and express yourself as much as you want. After all, it’s<br />

the holidays, a period of celebration.<br />

6. Go see some holiday lights. If you have nothing better to do, go<br />

to your nearest festival to look at the beautiful holiday lights. During<br />

the nighttime, let yourself be mesmerized by the illuminating lights<br />

wrapped around trees and ornaments.<br />

7. Watch some holiday movies. What better way to get into the<br />

holiday spirit than by watching the classics? If movies don’t cut it or<br />

you simply don’t have the time, take a few minutes to watch some<br />

holiday videos. There are plenty online that will lift your mood and<br />

get you all pepped up for the holidays!<br />

8. Eat seasonal food (with healthy ingredients!) Bake holiday<br />

cookies shaped like turkeys, Christmas trees, Santa, elves, presents,<br />

anything! After all, a baker’s imagination is endless. If you want to be<br />

fancier, cook some holiday food that your parents used to make you.<br />

9. Gift kindness, in all forms. It has become a tradition to buy<br />

presents and gift them to your loved ones during the holiday season.<br />

The holidays are a time of appreciation and love. Don’t forget about<br />

those random acts of kindness to whomever, just because.<br />

10. Have fun! It’s alright if everything isn’t perfect and in fact, that just<br />

proves you’re human. In a couple of years, you’ll all be laughing about<br />

disastrous moments during the holiday season and it’ll all be fine!<br />

Volunteer Opportunities<br />

CYPRESS ASSISTANCE MINISTRIES VOLUNTEERS NEEDED<br />

When you volunteer you are giving to your community, but did you<br />

realize volunteering also benefits you as an individual? CAM volunteers<br />

often let us know the fun they are having, the friends they have made<br />

and the fulfillment they receive from helping others.<br />

Cypress Assistance Ministries is a local non-profit organization serving<br />

the Cy-Fair area for over 25 years. CAM offers assistance to those in<br />

need by providing financial assistance, food, clothing, employment<br />

assistance as well as GED & ESL classes. A huge part of this organization<br />

is its volunteers. Currently we are in need of volunteers in many<br />

different areas of the ministry. If you would like more information on<br />

how to become involved, please contact Tara Rauch at 281-955-7684<br />

or tarar@cypressassistance.org. We look forward to hearing from you!<br />

Most Beloved Christmas Memory: Two years ago, mom and dad surprised their girls with a trip to New York City to see Wicked , the musical.<br />
