to come soon. Swimmers 18 & under at all levels of ability are 

welcomed to join. To begin learning more about our awesome DOLPHINS

com/ or google Concord Bridge Swim Team.

GARAGE SALE DATES 

The remaining garage sale dates for 2018 are June 1 st and October 6 th . 

These dates will be advertised on local media and signs are placed at the 

entrances early in the week of the sale. Garage sales are not permitted on 

any other dates. Fines may be assessed for failure to abide by this rule. 

For information and an application for an estate sale, please contact 

Preferred Management. 

HARVEY RECOVERY 

We are now six months following Hurricane Harvey and subsequent 

floods, remember that you must request an extension to continue living 

in a motorhome or RV in your driveway. Also, please get an extension for 

storage containers. 

As we get back into our homes, please remember that deed restrictions 

are still applicable. While the Board of Directors has instructed Preferred 

Management to refrain from deed restriction letters to the flooded 

homes, we must remember it is to our benefit to return to normal as 

soon as possible. 

Letters will begin to go out as reminders that deed restrictions are still in 

force. Please bring your home back to meet all deed restrictions. 

SUMMER ACTIVITIES 

Would you like to see additional activities in our neighborhood? We 

would love to have things for our families, but without assistance it is 

not possible. The Board of Directors’ members all have full time jobs or 

other family obligations that take up much of our time. We are an unpaid 

voluntary Board with the interest of Concord Bridge at heart. If you have 

ideas for neighborhood activities, get volunteers to help and present 

your ideas to the Board. We will back legitimate activities to unite our 

neighbors. There were several people at the annual meeting that advised 

they would assist in activities and/or serving in various capacities. We 

encourage you to step forward with your ideas and volunteers to assist. 

Hopefully, we will have movie nights in the park again this year. Watch 

for information in the Crier, on the marquees and emails from Preferred 

Management.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME 

starts MARCH 11, 2018 

spring forward !!! 

PROPER DISPOSAL HELPS EVERYONE! 

Do you know what to do with leftover used cooking oil and grease? 

Never wash cooking fats, oil or grease (FOG) down the drain, as they can 

cause the sewer line to back up into your home. If the drain clogs and 

causes a sewer line blockage it may cause the back up to flow onto the 

street and into the storm drains which flow to our bayous and eventually 

Galveston Bay. This material is harmful to the waterways and the 

creatures that live there. 

Recycle it Instead! 

The Harris County Household Hazardous Waste Facility provides a free 

residential FOG drop-off site for easy disposal. FOG items can be recycled 

into bio-diesel fuels, a feed additive for animals and other processes 

that save natural resources. Please do NOT mix FOG with any other 

items, such as automotive waste (no auto oils or lubricants) because if 

these are mixed they cannot be recycled. Also, please bring your FOG 

in a container that we can keep. This service is for residents of Harris 

County only. No restaurants will be serviced. 

VACATION WATCH 

Remember that our constables offer this valuable service. School is out 

and the kids are bored. They often are unsupervised and seek thrills in 

dangerous and malicious ways. If your home will be unoccupied while 

your family is enjoying a vacation, you can complete a vacation watch 

form and submit it to one of the officers patrolling in the neighborhood. 

There are other services available to local citizens. You can visit the 

appropriate website for additional information and to sign up for the 

available services. www.constablepct5.com

HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITIES 

As a homeowner you have certainly responsibilities. You are obligated to 

pay taxes and homeowners association fees. Often people assume that is 

the extent of their responsibilities. 

There were deed restrictions set forth by the developer of the subdivision 

with the intent of maintaining your home’s value. 

As many of us have realized recently, these responsibilities often seem 

to encroach on our ability to maintain our home in any manner we wish. 

However, these deed restrictions are registered with the county and your 

association has the obligation to remind us when they are not observed. 

Sidewalks are a topic that has been discussed a lot recently. In years past, 

the county had often repaired them. However, these are a part of the homeowner’s 

responsibility. This work is not the responsibility of Harris County 

or Concord Bridge HOA. Homeowners must have and must maintain the 

sidewalk on their property. 

If you do not have a copy of the deed restrictions for your section in Concord 

Bridge, please contact Preferred Management Services and request a copy. 

HARRIS COUNTY ALARM PERMIT 

A permit is required for all alarms in Harris County. Obtaining the required 

permit will avoid the issuance of a citation and excessive false alarm fees. 

The permit application can be downloaded from the Harris County Sheriff’s 

Office website at www.hcso.hctx.net and click on forms. The application 

should be completed and mailed with the appropriate fees to the address 

shown on the application. A new permit will cost $35 and annual renewals 

are $10. Should you have any questions, please contact the Alarm Detail 

office at 713-755-4600 during normal business hours. 

CONCORD BRIDGE PETS 

Have you lost a pet or found a dog or cat? You can contact the Concord 

Bridge Pet Hotline at 281-468-9414 and on the Facebook account,

great help in returning lost and found 

animals to their owners. Even if you 

don’t have access to Facebook, you can 

call 281-468-9414. It is far more efficient 

than posting illegal signs all over the

one is nextdoor.com/concordbridge. 

Harris County requires that all pets be 

on a leash or confined within your yard. 

Unleashed dogs are a nuisance to your 

neighbors and other pets. Please pick 

up all dog waste and dispose of it properly. Remember, our children play 

in the park areas and their yards. It’s very inconsiderate of you to allow 

your dog to defecate if others yards and the parks. When walking your 

dogs, please be prepared to remove any waste they may leave behind. 

TRASH PICK UP 

Please remember that our trash pick up days 

are Monday and Thursday. Heavy trash

CFISD Livestock Show and Sale 

LIVESTOCK SHOW AND SALE GENERATES 

NEARLY $340,000 FOR PROJECTS 

CFISD students and the high school FFA programs showcased another successful 

CFISD Livestock Show and Sale, its 24 th year, on Feb. 8 th -10 th at the CFISD Exhibit Center. 

Even with the entire greater Houston area recovering from Hurricane Harvey and 

the post-storm flooding, the CFISD community showed an incredible amount of 

generosity in the live auction, freezer sale and via additional monetary contributions 

to students. 

Cypress Falls High School senior Jessica Byrd’s Grand Champion 

Swine sold to Conda Maze JRP LLC for $31,000, which 

set a new record at the CFISD Livestock Show and Sale. 

The Premium Sale (live auction) unofficially raised nearly $340,000. Final amounts 

from the Freezer Sale (animals not placing high enough for the live auction), Agriculture 

Mechanics and Horticulture silent auction and additional gifts to students 

are not yet available, but one new record was broken: 

Conda Maze JRP LLC paid $31,000 for the Grand Champion swine exhibited by 

Jessica Byrd (Cypress Falls), eclipsing the previous record. 

“Knowing the tremendous hardship (Hurricane Harvey) placed on the community, 

we were prepared for participation to be down,” said Denise Kubecka, lead 

curriculum coordinator in the career and technical education department. “When 

it came time for students to turn in their entries, we realized our numbers would 

once again be strong. In the wake of all going on in the community, families found 

a way to keep their children involved in the FFA program. It is always an emotional 

experience for me to watch the pride the students exhibit as they walk into that 

arena. This year was even more exciting knowing the extra obstacles many students 

had to overcome.” 

The following Livestock Royalty representatives were chosen: 

Show King - Caleb Abercrombie from Cypress Ranch FFA; 

Show Queen - Kylie Bassett from Cy-Fair FFA; 

Mr. Show Teen - Kyle Green from Cypress Woods FFA; 

Miss Show Teen - Allysondra Quijano from Cypress Woods FFA; and 

Top Hand (Sales) - Makenzie Cegelski from Jersey Village FFA. 

For the list of grand and reserve champions, go to www.cfisd.net. 


Job Awareness Fair 

JA INSPIRE MODELS CAREER AWARENESS TO 9,000 EIGHTH-GRADE STUDENTS 

Approximately 9,000 students from 18 CFISD middle schools connected 

to potential careers and opportunities in Junior Achievement 

of Southeast Texas (JASET)’s fifth annual job awareness fair, 

JA Inspire, Feb. 5 th -7 th . 

The three-day event at the Berry Center allowed all eighth-grade 

students to interact with more than 50 Houston businesses in a 

variety of industries. 

Each day began with a morning welcome session for all students in 

the Berry Center arena. Students were then divided in three groups 

that rotated between industry presentations in the conference 

center, a soft-skills demonstration in the arena and exhibitors in 

the second-floor concourse. 

Students were divided up by four endorsement tracks (STEM, business 

and industry, public services and arts and humanities) that 

they selected beforehand to receive a more specialized experience. 

While exploring career stations on the concourse, students spoke 

with company employees and industry representatives to learn 

more about their businesses. 

Speakers in different career fields closed each day. They included 

KPRC Channel 2 anchor Rachel McNeill, a Cypress Creek High School 

graduate and Heritage Texas Properties realtor associate Lily Jang, 

a Langham Creek High School graduate. 

“Our eighth-grade students are fortunate to be able to participate 

in an interactive experience that provides them with information on 

a variety of careers and local employers from the greater Houston 

area,” said Dr. Linda Macias, associate superintendent of curriculum 

and instruction and accountability. “This will assist them in making 

informed decisions when selecting an endorsement and course 

selections for high school.”

BUDGET FRIENDLY SPRING BREAK 

FAMILY HOT SPOTS 

A great spring-break vacation doesn’t need to break the bank. Whether 

you’re exploring a cool city or lounging on the beach, you can beat 

the winter blues with a budget spring break. Check out these budget 

friendly hot spots: 

Washington, DC: It doesn’t cost a dime to enjoy Washington, DC’s culture 

and history, especially during the Cherry Blossom Festival when the city 

is awash in delicate white and pink blossoms. Free events during the 

2-week-long festival in early April include cultural performances, fireworks 

and a parade. There’s no charge for the main event - the stunning 

trees framing the Tidal Basin and around the Washington Monument. 

Ocho Rios, Jamaica: Jamaica is a popular spot for the spring-break party 

crowd, but families can find fun for a bargain at the Beaches Boscobel 

Resort and Golf Club. This all-inclusive resort boasts 5 restaurants, 6 

bars and 1 super cool water park with 9 twisting slides and kiddie pools. 

Sanibel Island, FL: Spring break falls during Sanibel Island’s high season 

from February to April when the weather is perfect and shelling along 

the sandy shores is at its best. 

Seattle, WA: You can explore Pike Place Market with your wallet intact, if 

you can exercise willpower at the nearly 200 shops and restaurants and 

both admission and parking are free at the Frye Art Museum.

SHALOM CYPRESS 

Shalom Cypress was established in 2011 by local families seeking a 

Jewish presence in Northwest Houston. We are the closest synagogue 

within 25 miles of the nearest synagogue. Many thought that they were 

the only Jews in the Cypress area, but it turns out that they were wrong! 

Shalom Cypress has grown to more than 30 affiliated families. 

Passover is right around the corner! We will be having a Passover Seder, 

along with our monthly services. Please visit our website at www. 

shalomcypress.org or email us at info@shalomcypress.org to find out 

more information. 

Shalom Cypress has many ongoing & active programs for people of all 

ages. It is not too late to sign-up for our Hebrew School. Now available 

for adults! 

ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON SCHOLA CANTORUM 

Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church? 

Singing in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St. Elizabeth 

Ann Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children Grades 4-12 

for its after-school choir program. The choir is responsible for enriching 

the Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from 

3:45-5 PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses on singing music from 

the rich Catholic tradition, including chant and polyphony, as well 

as the finest modern church music. Time is devoted to building the 

children’s skills of music reading, vocal technique, thinking about the 

words and the structure and meaning of the Mass. Service hours are 

available for older students. For more information, please contact Dr. 

Douglas O’Neill at doneill@seascs.org.

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 www.ncjwhouston.org.

Start The New Year With A New 

Best Friend And Family Member! 

Loving Arms Pet Placement has an assortment of wonderful dogs and cats 

hoping for their forever homes. We have all different types of small to large 

dogs, mixed breeds and many wonderful cats to choose from. 

We are a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. If you are not ready to 

commit to adopting a dog or cat permanently, the animals also need 

foster families. Besides providing food, water and a safe place to sleep, 

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. 

Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted, please 

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

home.

TAX TIP FOR MARCH 

• New law for Harvey/Irma/Maria victims makes it much 

easier to get a tax benefit for a casualty loss. Most people 

will see a tax savings! Don’t overlook this! Professional 

assistance is recommended. 

• Don’t be afraid to file for an extension of time to file your tax 

return. It’s better to take your time, file a complete return, and 

get the best possible answer. 

• On December 22, 2017 Congress passed a major tax bill mostly 

affecting 2018 and future years. Do you know how it will affect 

you? I can help you find out. 

• If it wasn’t crazy before, it is now. On February 9, 2018 Congress 

passed a bill which included MORE tax changes, retroactive to 

2017. Do you know what they are? I do. Don’t try this at home. 

Call me!
