Family 

Focus 

Family Roster 

Mom: Chelsey, works for Health and Human Service 

Commission (HHSC of Texas). Went to undergrad at 

Baylor University. Originally raised in El Paso, Texas 

then family moved to Houston at 18 YO. 

Dad: Cobby, attorney for a surgical 

center. Went to undergrad at Lincoln 

University. Originally from Ghana, 

most of his family still lives there. 

Daughter: 

Nina, 3 YO. 

Loves ballet, PJ masks, and 

playing dress up. 

“We also have a greyhound who is a retired racer, Artie. We got him from a rescue organization. He sleeps most of the time but enjoys walking 

in the neighborhood and occasionally runs circles in our backyard. He also is terrified of rain and fireworks so depending on the time of year, 

we have to give him special love and attention.” 

What They Love to Do 

Cobby enjoys biking in the area and exploring 

new places with his bike. Chelsey likes going 

on walks with their dog and riding her bike, but 

admits that she is not quite as adventurous with 

bike trails as Cobby. 

Nina loves utilizing different playgrounds and 

activities at the YMCA and the bounce park. They 

spend a lot of time at the pool during the summer, 

whether it is at the YMCA or their community pool. 

Mom and dad enjoy going on food adventures and 

exploring new family owned restaurants. In the 

past, they were more involved with the Westcreek 

community garden, but haven’t been able to be 

as involved this season. They hope to be able 

to get more involved in the spring. As a family, 

they liked learning about gardening from other 

members of the community, especially since they 

are new to gardening. Nina really enjoyed pulling 

the vegetables though apparently, she wasn’t 

always the biggest fan of eating them. Surely 

many other parents can relate! 

Why They Love Living Here 

“We have lived here since the summer of 2015. We like living in the area due to the mature trees, walking and bike paths, 

accessible parks, and overall proximity to family friendly activities. We also enjoy the people in this community and love 

the diversity of the area. 

In the previous cities that we lived in, it was not as easy to get involved in the 

community, but that is not the case here. Over the past year, we organized 

our block’s National Night Out event which was the first time our block 

had this event in years. We also helped with Westcreek’s Easter Egg hunt, 

which our community had not had in years. We enjoyed the ability to build 

Love is in the Air 

How They Express It: “We don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day. We 

exchange gifts and cards but it’s not a big holiday for us.” 

Ideal VD: Dad’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going to a new restaurant 

that no one has heard about yet. Mom’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going 

to the restaurant where Dad proposed, but unfortunately that restaurant is 

no longer in business. Other than that, Mom would enjoy spending time at 

home with a nice store bought meal while watching a movie. 

What Makes It Tick: “At Nina’s daycare, they have a Valentine’s Day party and 

exchange Valentine’s Day cards. We usually spend the night before Valentine’s 

Day getting her school cards ready.” Nina usually receives a timeless stuffed 

animal from Mom and Dad (who doesn’t love a new squishy friend?) and 

enjoys candy she received from her Valentine’s card exchange at her school. 

We Would OVE to Feature Your Family! 

Each month, one family will be chosen from one of our communities. To feature your family, email familyfocus@krenekprinting.com

Westgate News 

Deadline for HOA Board 

Election in March 

At the Annual Homeowners’ Meeting in March, one position on the HOA 

Board of Directors is up for election. Abel Gonzalez is in this position 

currently. If you are a Westgate homeowner and you’d like to run for this 

position, you MUST SUBMIT your INTENT TO RUN BY Monday, February 

19, 2018, to our management company, Inframark, by contacting Angela 

Bumann at Angela.Bumann@Inframark.com (also copy the Board at 

board@westgatetx.net) or calling 281-870-0585 (Inframark). 

If you have any questions about what Board directors do, feel free to 

email us. HOA Board members should be Westgate homeowners who 

want to help steer Westgate right and protect their home’s property 

values. Having good Board members can make a big difference in the 

quality of life in a neighborhood. They need to have common sense, 

care about the community and be willing to go to monthly meetings to 

conduct business. 

Difficulty Paying 

Your Annual Dues? 

If you anticipate not being able to pay your Westgate fees for 2018 

on time, be sure to call our management company Inframark (281- 

870-0585) to discuss getting on a payment plan before more fees are 

tacked on - from the attorney, etc., $605 can turn into $1,000+ very 

quickly. Even if you don’t think you can pay all at once, you need 

to call Inframark to make payment arrangements, DON’T WAIT and 

cost yourself MORE money. These dues help pay for landscaping, 

electricity, water, refurbishing and adding amenities and pool 

management, among other things. It helps Westgate continue to be 

a great community with stable or increasing property values. If you’d 

ever like details of how your dues are spent, you can always ask our 

management company. 

Get to Know 

Your Neighbors 

New Section Groups on Facebook 

By now, I hope everyone knows about our neighborhood 

Facebook group- “Westgate Subdivision Official” -with over 1,000 

members. In an effort to foster crime prevention and safety, we 

now have Facebook groups created by Westgate Crime Watch 

for each individual section. This will make communication 

easier and quicker to stay informed on what’s happening in your 

immediate area.

Also, these section groups will facilitate more neighborly relationships 

and foster a sense of community with your closest neighbors. This is a 

basic tenet of neighborhood safety. 

To join your section group search for “Westgate Section X” (your section 

number) and request to join. You may be sent a message and asked to 

provide confirmation of your address. Don’t know which section you live 

in? Look on HCAD online, look up your address and it will tell you which 

section you’re in. Or you can see the Westgate map on our Facebook 

group, Westgate Subdivision Official. Help Westgate be a safe, closer-knit

Time For An 

Insurance Quote? 

Submitted by resident and realtor Tim Bogott 

I tell my clients when they purchase a home that requoting their 

insurance policy each year is the best way to help keep the monthly 

house payment in check. This is a much easier task than trying to fight 

your property taxes every year. 

There are two types of insurance agencies - Independent and Captive. 

An independent insurance agency means that they partner with many 

different insurance companies to shop for insurance products. A captive 

insurance agency means that they only shop their own products. Many 

times, a captive agency doesn’t have all the solutions or options that you 

would get through an independent agency. 

When you receive a quote for a home insurance policy, there are some 

key questions you should ask the agent to ensure a complete picture of 

the policy coverage. 

The first thing to ask the agent is what four (4) water damage coverages 

are included in the policy? There are four (4) coverages in most home 

policies and this is a very important question to ask the agent. 

What are the maximum jewelry limits in the policy? Many home policies 

only cover jewelry starting at $500 up to $2,500. This might not be 

enough coverage for your circumstances, so you will want to ask to see if 

additional coverage is necessary. 

The last question to ask is what are the deductibles in the home policy? 

In Houston alone, there are three (3) different deductibles and it’s not 

one size fits all. You know what you can afford, so it’s important to know 

the amounts of the different deductibles. 

By asking these questions, you will get the best coverage at the 

right price to meet your family’s insurance needs. All content 

provided is for informational purposes only and Coldwell Banker 

makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of any 

information. 

Do You Know Your 

Deed Restrictions? 

In an effort to educate our residents, we’ll periodically highlight some 

deed restriction or other item that needs improvement in Westgate: 

PARKING AND PROHIBITED VEHICLES: According to our Declarations of 

Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements, pg. 12-13, cars etc. 

must be IN WORKING ORDER, have current stickers etc. and are in daily 

use. Vehicles like a “boat, trailer… recreational vehicle” cannot be stored 

on your lot unless it is concealed; a TEMPORARY permit can be issued for 

certain situations. 

Regarding parking, vehicles MUST NOT “BLOCK A SIDEWALK.” Also, “NO 

MORE THAN THREE VEHICLES… may be parked on the driveway.” 

Any repair work to vehicles that is visible to the street MUST BE 

COMPLETED WITHIN 12 HOURS AND NOT OCCUR ON A FREQUENT/ 

REGULAR BASIS, so as to prevent disorderly and unkempt appearance 

in Westgate.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s been reported in some sections that residents are 

parking on BOTH sides of the street. While I understand the difficulties of 

where to park, parking on both sides of the street CREATES A DANGEROUS 

SITUATION. Emergency vehicles cannot pass through to save a life! 

PLEASE, when parking on the street, stagger your vehicles so they are 

NOT PARKED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE on the other 

side of the street! 

Following these instructions helps keep our neighborhood looking neat 

and thus keeps up our property values, as well as helping keep Westgate 

safe. Let’s be considerate of our neighbors! 

COPIES OF ALL WESTGATE FOUNDING DOCUMENTS (including the ARC 

form) can be downloaded from the Westgate website www.westgatetx. 

net. They are located under the HOA tab. 

Procedure When 

Filing a Report with 

the Sheriff's Dept. 

If you ever have to file a report with the Sheriff’s Department, whether 

after calling 911 or the nonemergency number (713-221-6000), be sure to 

let the deputy know that Westgate has a contract with the Sheriff’s Dept. 

through our MUD district (Harris County MUD #70). That way, the incident 

will be reported to our contract deputies, giving them information on 

what to look for in our community. Also, be sure to report the issue to our 

Crime Watch committee at crimewatch@westgatetx.net. They discuss 

the problems with our deputies as well.

but you didn’t want to just pick someone out of the yellow pages? Well, 

we’ve begun a document that is our neighborhood’s personal “Angie’s 

List:” “Recommended Tradespeople And Businesses.” All people and 

businesses listed on it are recommended by people in Westgate who 

have had personal experiences with them. 

We also have a list for businesses actually owned by Westgate residents

Engagement Stories 

featuring your neighbors! 

Chelsea & William 

What was supposed to be a family vacation to Las Vegas/the Grand Canyon 

the week before Thanksgiving, ended up turning into the most picture 

perfect proposal. The morning we were supposed to leave for the Grand 

Canyon, I wasn’t feeling well, and said I would stay back. However, William 

was very insistent that I come. I took some medicine, got ready really 

quickly, and we hopped into the car for our grand excursion. When we got 

to the Grand Canyon, it was freezing outside (to Texans of course!) and 

there was even some snow on the ground. It looked so magical (especially 

considering I have only seen snow a couple of times)! As I was getting out 

of the car, I noticed that one of my fake nails had fallen off (I had gotten my 

nails done the week prior) ON MY LEFT HAND! William’s mother had 

asked, “what hand did the nail fall off from?”, which I thought was a funny 

question to ask. When we got to the Grand Canyon, we stopped to take 

pictures (and get me a jacket because I did NOT plan for freezing weather). 

During one picture, William had bent down to sit for the picture, but in 

my head I was thinking “THIS IS IT! THERE IS WHERE WE GET EN- 

GAGED!” My heart started racing and I was so excited. But....all that was said was, “Chelsea, sit down so we can take the picture.” I was slightly disappointed, 

but I wouldn’t let it ruin my time. We went to go grab a bite to eat, and William and his family were asking when sunset was so we could go to one final stop: 

Yavapai Point. By the time we got there, I was freezing and felt like my hands and legs were going numb and was apprehensive to take more pictures. Then, in 

the most perfect spot, right as we were posing for a picture, William got down on one knee and showed me the most beautiful ring that he picked out himself. 

I didn’t even let him talk I was so in shock that I just went in for a giant hug. When his family asked what I said, I responded with, “oh he never asked!” He 

officially asked, I said “YES!!!!!!!”, and the rest of our “grand” love story is history! 

Lisa & Matt 

My wife and I met on a blind date – we were immediately attracted 

to each other. Later, when the time came, I wanted to have the 

perfect way to propose to her, so I conspired with my mother to 

create the ‘perfect day’. First, my sister, Rachel, took a picture 

of me at our favorite place – Castlewood State Park outside of St. 

Louis, Missouri. From this picture, a wooden jigsaw puzzle was 

created – the largest piece in the center being a sign with my special 

message… ‘Lisa, Will You Marry Me?’. The remaining pieces 

of the puzzle were randomly divided into handmade velvet bags 

that each had a handwritten calligraphy poem on them created 

by me describing a new location for the ‘Treasure Hunt’. Each location 

has some significance since it was a place where we had 

experienced something special together. At the last location, I 

presented her with the final piece and the diamond ring. My wife 

is a very special person who has given me so much…I love her.

Violet & TJ 

"They" say that after a storm, comes a rainbow....it turns out that "they" 

are correct. I met my fiancé, TJ, about 20 years ago. Nothing became 

of it, except seeing the familiar face from time to time throughout the 

years. On July 15, I ran into the familiar face, yet once again. Except this 

time, it was God's timing and we were engaged on September 16. He is 

the biggest teddy bear with the kindest soul. He is the happily ever after 

that me & daughters needed for so long.... We will say "I do" on 2/11/18.

See To Succeed Initiative

CFISD Continues Growing Collaboration 

With City Of Houston For See To 

Succeed Initiative 

Following a very successful first year, CFISD bussed even more students 

- approximately 1,600 - to the Berry Center from January 8 th -11 th for free 

comprehensive eye exams and eyewear provided by the Harris County Health 

Department’s See to Succeed program. The See to Succeed program partners 

with several organizations and community volunteers throughout the area to 

organize weeklong vision clinics for students between the ages of 6 to 18 who 

have not passed state-mandated vision screenings initiated by school nurses. 

Transporting CFISD students to the clinics presented logistical and 

scheduling issues, but See to Succeed acquired mobile vision exam 

equipment. That allowed team members, volunteers and vision 

professionals to travel and establish more remote locations. 

And in the case of CFISD, that meant setting up the program at the Berry 

Center. Approximately 400 students per day were examined and fitted 

for glasses over the four days at no cost to participating families. Due to 

the increase, a separate See to Succeed program will be set up at Fiest 

Elementary School to serve the high demand on that campus. The total 

increased from the roughly 1,100 students that participated a year ago. 

Consent forms to participate in the program were sent home via school 

nurses for those students who failed the vision screenings on campus 

multiple times or were deemed as needing an examination. 

According to Bevin Gordon, CFISD’s director for health services, 

approximately 5,500 students within the district will fail the statemandated 

vision screening each year. And from those, roughly half 

would not get a professional eye examination to address the issues.

Each day of the four began with eligible students shuttled by CFISD buses 

to and from their campuses to the Berry Center. Upon arrival, See to 

Succeed employees and volunteers greeted the students and led them to 

the auditorium for registration as well as distributing stickers for each to 

help identify students throughout the day. The process was broken down 

into stations, including pre-screening rooms and waiting areas, before 

each student would ultimately visit with an eye doctor. 

Stations included distance acuity, color, stereo, near point of accommodation 

and conversion, slit lamp, auto refraction and refraction, optical frame 

selection, check out and data entry. If a student needed an immediate 

referral or follow-up consultation, program workers were ready to call 

parents and guardians. Three urgent cases were caught in the first two days. 

The entire screening process lasted between 2-4 hours per student. During 

their time at the Berry Center, students were accompanied by CFISD clinic 

assistants, who joined them as chaperones. Breakfast and lunch were 

provided to students by the CFISD nutrition services department to ensure 

meals were not missed as a result of a student being at the Berry Center. 

The partnership with CFISD and its personnel made the four-day operation 

a smooth success, said See to Succeed Manager Patricia Watson. 

More than 200 employees from Watson’s team joined many volunteers to make 

the program run as smooth as it does. Participating students will have eyeglasses 

delivered to their home campuses in roughly four weeks, a part of the process 

almost more rewarding as helping each student through his or her exam. 

The See to Succeed program has been in operation from its primary Heights 

location by the City of Houston Health Department since 2007. Since its 

start, the program has screened more than 22,000 children and distributed 

over 19,000 glasses to those in need. See to Succeed program partners 

include the Houston Department of Health and Human Services, University 

of Houston, San Jacinto College, Berkeley Eye Center, public and private 

schools, as well as community volunteers from across the Houston area. For

Cy-Fair Hs and Community 

Celebrate Football State 

Title With Parade 

Cy-Fair High School students, staff, fans and community 

members lined the parade route. 

The Cy-Fair High School football team was honored and 

celebrated for winning the 2017 Class 6A Division II state 

championship, as the school, alumni and community members 

came together for a parade on January 12 th and rally that 

followed at the high school football field. 

The Bobcats captured the state title with their 51-35 win over 

Waco Midway on December 23 rd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. 

Cy-Fair was the third football program in CFISD history to reach 

a state championship game, but is the first in the district to win 

it all. 

A rally at the Cy-Fair football stadium followed, as fans filled the stands and 

cheered throughout the ceremony. In addition to congratulatory speeches by the 

high school administration, Pustejovsky offered thanks to not only his coaches 

and players, but the community in helping the Bobcats win the championship. 

Each member of the football team, film crew and athletic training staff was then 

introduced. 

Ray Zepeda, CFISD director of athletics, closed the rally by presenting the state 

championship trophy to the Bobcats with the crowd giving a raucous ovation. “It’s 

good recognition for our players because they did accomplish something that very 

few people get to do,” Pustejosky said. “I’m very proud of them.” 

Cy-Fair fans and community members lined Cypress North 

Houston Road, where the parade began near the high school 

baseball field. Following a turn at Telge Road, hundreds of 

students and staff from nearby Lamkin Elementary School and 

Arnold Middle School cheered on the parade as well. Three 

vehicles from the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department carried 

the football team, while coaches, student trainers and other 

program personnel rode in other vehicles. 

The Cy-Fair Air Force JROTC, marching band, Brigade drill team 

and cheerleaders also took part in the parade. Cy-Fair Head 

Football Coach Ed Pustejovsky and his wife Marianne served as 

the parade’s grand marshals. 

“It was a time to be able to bring our staff, our students, our 

alumni and our community together to savor the moment and 

celebrate this historical event,” said Cy-Fair Principal Ana Martin. 

“I’m still processing it all and what it means to Cy-Fair High 

School and what it means to Cy-Fair ISD. We’re just so proud of 

the hard work of our football team, our coaches and our staff.”

Copperhead District 

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found 

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant 

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting 

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership 

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. 

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities 

that allow them to: 

• Try new things. 

• Provide service to others. 

• Build self-confidence. 

• Reinforce ethical standards.

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as 

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility 

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

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. Scouting 

provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through 

the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our 

youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area 

Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 

to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing 

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

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools 

including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, 

Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, 

Tipps, Walker and Wilson. Other Community groups include: Autumn 

Creek Baptist Church, Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE 

18081 West Road, 281-859-4141, cornerstoneumc.org 

Ash Wednesday is the first day of the Season of Lent occurring forty 

days (excluding Sundays) before Good Friday. It is traditionally a time 

for worshippers to gather together with penitent hearts to have their 

foreheads marked with a cross of ashes in an act of penance and contrition 

before the Lord. On Wednesday evening, February 14 th at 7 PM. we will 

be having an Ash Wednesday worship celebration. This service will include 

the marking of ashes on each worshippers head followed by a quiet time of 

reflection at the altar. In addition, as we do each Ash Wednesday service, 

there will be something “extra special” to illustrate God’s forgiveness of 

our sins. Special music will be provided by the Chancel Choir. This will be a 

meaningful service and everyone is invited to attend. 

St. Cuthbert Church 

SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER 

You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove Tuesday 

Pancake Supper on February 13 th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat pancakes 

and play bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated during the Middle Ages. Food 

items like meats, fats, eggs, milk and fish were regarded as restricted 

during Lent. To keep such food from being wasted, many families would 

have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating 

pancakes on Shrove Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, 

fats and eggs as possible before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the 

consumption of all fats and fatty foods on this day coined the name “Fat 

Tuesday” or Mardi Gras. 

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICES 

You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday services at St. Cuthbert 

Episcopal church on February 14 th at 6:30 AM, 4:30 PM and 7 PM. All 

services have Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes. The 4:30 PM 

service is designed for children and their families. Ash Wednesday marks 

the beginning of the season of Lent, which is dedicated to reflection, 

prayer and fasting in preparation for Easter. 

LENTEN PROGRAM: NAVIGATING EMOTIONAL WELLNESS 

Everyone is invited to the Lenten program: Navigating Emotional 

Wellness, which will meet on Wednesday evenings beginning February 

21 st , from 6:30-7:30 at St. Cuthbert Church. We all experience the full 

range of emotions - happiness, frustration, fear, anger, joy, sadness, awe, 

peace - emotions that are given to us by God. As our city recovers from 

the trauma of Harvey, many of us have felt these emotions in new ways. 

Scripture is filled with emotion, both God’s emotions as well as those of 

30 

His people. Our emotions influence our lives as they inform, motivate 

and guide us in what we do or don’t do, say or don’t say and react or not. 

Being intentionally aware of our emotions and navigating our reaction to 

them will benefit every aspect of our lives. Come be a part of this Lenten 

study as we prepare ourselves to meet the risen Christ. Younger children 

will explore the movie Inside Out. This movie centers around an 11-year 

old girl and her emotions as her family makes a cross-country move. The 

nursery will be open if requested. St. Cuthbert Church is located at 17020 

West Road, at the corner of West and Queenston. Visit stcuthbert.org for 

more information about all of our events.

Special Cheers Needs Volunteers 

Special CHEERS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing 

Occupational Therapy to children with special needs of all ages living in and 

around the greater Houston area. Our facility is unique in that we utilize 

animals, including horses, dogs, goats, pigs, lambs and rabbits as an integral 

part of each child’s therapy treatment plan. Being a non-profit organization, 

we are constantly looking for extra help around the farm. Therefore, Special 

CHEERS would like to welcome all high school and college-aged students 

interested in working with both children and animals to volunteer after school, 

on the weekends or seasonally (i.e., summer camp). Please call our director, 

Ms. Fritzi, at 713-983-0075, for more information. A background check will be 

required of all individuals applying for a volunteer position at our facility. 

Foster Children: Preparation 

For Adult Living 

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?

Volunteers Needed For Dream 

Dachshund Rescue 

DREAM Dachshund Rescue, Education & Adoption Mission is a 

Houston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing 

abandoned Dachshunds and finding new homes for Dachshunds 

whose owners can no longer care for them. Our committed volunteers, 

working closely with local veterinarians, provide our Dachshunds with 

quality medical care and loving foster homes until they are adopted 

into carefully screened, forever homes. DREAM is currently looking 

for caring volunteers to provide temporary foster care for our many 

rescued Dachshunds-in-need, currently awaiting adoption. Prior 

to their adoption, DREAM continues to pay for all medical care and 

monthly heart worm prevention. There is no long-term commitment 

required. Food, water, shelter and a soft place to rest is all you need to 

provide. The “love” just comes naturally. Questions? Please send us an 

email to: Contact-Us@DreamDachs.org and a volunteer will respond 

to you right away with all the information you need! Ready to Foster?

February Is Creative 

Romance Month 

February is being Creative Romance Month and many of you may feel like that is a 

lot of pressure! Don’t worry though because we’ve put together a list of romantic, 

yet creative ideas to make the month of February full of romance. 

Go On A Surprise Trip. What better way to spend time together than by going on 

a surprise trip? Instead of just telling your partner that you planned a getaway, 

make them work to figure out what their Valentine’s present is. Write the name of 

the destination on a piece of paper and cut it up into pieces that they have to put 

together. If you want to really build up the anticipation, you can always give them 

one piece of the puzzle a day leading up to Valentine’s Day. 

Kidnap Them For A Day. If your partner is into fun gags, put a blindfold on him or 

her and drive them to your chosen destination before you take the blindfold off. It 

can be something as simple as a romantic dinner to their favorite restaurant or a 

visit to their favorite museum. Tell them little clues along the way to see if they can 

actually guess where they are going. 

Act Like A Tourist. Just because you have lived in a city for a while it doesn’t mean 

that you’ve visited everywhere there is to go. For Valentine’s Day, do a little bit of 

research about restaurants or attractions that you and your partner have never 

been to before. Then on Valentine’s Day, act like tourists at the place you end up 

going too. Don’t just rush through the experience. Really soak it all in, spend a lot of 

time there and just have a good time overall. 

Can’t Get Away For A Few Days? Book A Hotel Room. If you and your partner want 

to go on a vacation, but don’t have the time, consider booking a really nice hotel 

room for 1-2 nights. Even though you won’t actually be leaving your city, it might feel 

like it if you choose the right hotel. Not only should the hotel you choose have plenty 

of activities and amenities, but it should be in a location that will allow you to easily 

enjoy restaurants and shops within walking distance. 

Share The Romance. If you and your partner are the kind of couple that likes to 

outdo one another, consider trading off. On even days you could plan romantic 

activities and on odd days it’s your partner’s turn. This can last for only a few days, 

a week or the entire month of February! If you really want to wow them consider 

going on a day cruise on your day or going camping for the night.

RECIPES 

Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo 

Ingredients: 

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts 

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 

4 cloves garlic, minced 

ground black pepper to taste 

2 cups heavy cream 

2 egg yolks 

salt to taste 

1 pound fettuccine 

1 sprig chopped fresh parsley 

2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided 

Directions: Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan 

over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to 

low; simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5 

minutes. Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes. 

Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving 

the broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut 

into bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and cook 

until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream into the 

reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat. 

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm 

cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until 

about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm 

cream and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining 

cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until 

the mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes. 

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. 

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in 

boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about 

7 minutes. Drain. Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream 

mixture into the pasta. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few 

minutes until thick. Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into 

the pasta mixture to serve. Source: allrecipes.com
