FREE MEMOIR WRITING WORKSHOP 

Cypress Historical Society at Cypress Top Historic Park beginning January 18 th and 

running through February 22 nd from 10:30 AM to 12 PM. Everyone has a story and 

everyone has memories. Some of them are good. Others are not so good. But, all of 

them are valuable. This workshop is about preserving your family history, one memory 

at a time. With the help of your teacher, coach and mentor you will learn to jar those 

faded memories loose, then compose, organize, preserve and share them electronically 

for future generations. Jackie Devine loves working with active writers and people who 

have never tried to write! This course will help you understand the memoir writing 

process: story structure, scenes, dialogue, character development, tone and voice. You’ll 

learn that you are creating a legacy. If desired, stories will be recorded and saved online 

where family and friends can enjoy them for years to come. Located behind Juergen’s 

Hall Community Center, 26026 Hempstead Hwy., Cypress, TX 77429, phone 713-274-

FOSTER CHILDREN: 

PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL) 

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. 

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities 

arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out 

how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. 

Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help 

prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long 

course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council 

for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s 

BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. 

Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives 

with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see

foster families socialize the animals so they are people friendly. Include 

the animal in your daily home life inside your home. Get to know them as 

individuals so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes. 

Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible.

please know that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/ 

her forever home. Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at www.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope 

and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through 

his example - the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service 

that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership. On this holiday, 

we commemorate the universal, unconditional love, forgiveness and nonviolence that 

empowered his revolutionary spirit. 

Dr. King knew that it wasn’t enough just to talk the talk, that he had to walk the walk for his 

words to be credible. And so we commemorate on this holiday the man of action, who put 

his life on the line for freedom and justice every day, the man who braved threats and jail 

and beatings and who ultimately paid the highest price to make democracy a reality for all 

Americans. 

On this day we commemorate Dr. King’s great dream of a vibrant, multiracial nation united in 

justice, peace and reconciliation; a nation that has a place at the table for children of every 

race and room at the inn for every needy child. It is a day of interracial and intercultural 

cooperation and sharing. No other day of the year brings so many peoples from different 

cultural backgrounds together in such a vibrant spirit of brother and sisterhood. Whether 

you are African-American, Hispanic or Native American, whether you are Caucasian or Asian- 

American, you are part of the great dream Martin Luther King, Jr. had for America. This is not 

a black holiday; it is a peoples’ holiday. 

We commemorate on this holiday the ecumenical leader and visionary who embraced the 

unity of all faiths in love and truth. And though we take patriotic pride that Dr. King was 

an American, on this holiday we must also commemorate the global leader who inspired 

nonviolent liberation movements around the world. Indeed, on this day, programs 

commemorating my husband’s birthday are being observed in more than 100 nations. 

The Holiday commemorates America’s pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence - the man who 

taught by his example that nonviolent action is the most powerful, revolutionary force for 

social change available to oppressed people in their struggles for liberation. 

This holiday honors the courage of a man who endured harassment, threats and beatings and 

even bombings. We commemorate the man who went to jail 29 times to achieve freedom for 

others and who knew he would pay the ultimate price for his leadership, but kept on marching 

and protesting and organizing anyway. 

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is not only for celebration and remembrance, education and 

tribute, but above all a day of service. All across America on the Holiday, his followers perform 

service in hospitals and shelters and prisons and wherever people need some help. It is a 

day of volunteering to feed the hungry, rehabilitate housing, tutoring those who can’t read, 

mentoring at-risk youngsters, consoling the broken-hearted and a thousand other projects 

for building the beloved community of his dream. 

We call you to commemorate this Holiday by making your personal commitment to serve humanity 

with the vibrant spirit of unconditional love that was his greatest strength and which empowered 

all of the great victories of his leadership. And with our hearts open to this spirit of unconditional 

love, we can indeed achieve the Beloved Community of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream.

CURRIED CHICKEN 

You could make this on National Cream Puff Day January 12 th ! 

INGREDIENTS: 

1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces and skin removed 

Salt and ground black pepper to taste 

1 tablespoon paprika or to taste 

1 tablespoon butter 

1 apple, cored and chopped 

1 onion, chopped 

1 tablespoon curry powder or more to taste 

1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup 

1 cup half-and-half cream 

DIRECTIONS: 

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the 

chicken pieces in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Season 

the chicken liberally with salt, pepper and the paprika, set aside. 

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the apple and
