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 />

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 />
information, please contact Dr. Douglas O’Neill at doneill@seascs.org.<br />

memories loose, then compose, organize, preserve and share them<br />
electronically for future generations. Jackie Devine loves working with<br />
active writers and people who have never tried to write! This course will<br />
help you understand the memoir writing process: story structure, scenes,<br />
dialogue, character development, tone and voice. You’ll learn that you<br />
are creating a legacy. If desired, stories will be recorded and saved online<br />
where family and friends can enjoy them for years to come.<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 />

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 />
