Earns anA<br />

Send your kids to school with a nutritious<br />

breakfast and they might come home with<br />

better test scores and fewer behavioral<br />

problems. There’s no doubt about it -<br />

breakfast is a big deal. Decades of research<br />

have shown that kids who make this meal a<br />

habit have better diets, healthier bodies,<br />

higher test scores, lighter moods and more<br />

mental stamina. No matter how hectic your<br />

mornings are, it’s worth taking the time to<br />

make sure your kids get good food before<br />

school starts.<br />

Does breakfast really make a difference?<br />

Food fuels the body with glucose, the main<br />

energy source for the mind and muscles. This<br />

refueling is especially important in the<br />

morning because the body hasn’t had any<br />

food since the night before. Children’s daily<br />

nutrient intake also tends to be higher when<br />

they eat breakfast, according to the American<br />

Dietetic Association (ADA). Whole-grain cereal<br />

with milk and a glass of citrus juice, for<br />

example, delivers lots of vitamin C,<br />

calcium, thiamin, riboflavin, fiber, iron<br />

and folate.<br />

Children who eat breakfast are also<br />

more likely to have lower blood<br />

cholesterol levels and are less likely to<br />

gain weight, miss school or visit the<br />

school nurse than children who don’t<br />

have a morning meal.<br />

Make a breakfast plan<br />

Mornings can often be the busiest<br />

part of the day. To help make sure<br />

breakfast stays on your family’s<br />

schedule no matter how pressed for<br />

time you are, try these tips from the<br />

ADA and the American Academy of<br />

Pediatrics (AAP).<br />

• Set your table the night before. Save<br />

yourself a few precious minutes in the<br />

morning by setting out dishes, cereal,<br />

bagels, bread, fruit or instant breakfast<br />

mix before you go to bed.<br />

• Use last night’s leftovers. Don’t fret if<br />

it’s not traditional breakfast food. A<br />

slice of pizza or macaroni and cheese<br />

warmed up in the microwave can still<br />

provide needed nutrients.<br />

• Keep your cupboards and fridge stocked<br />

with quick, healthy breakfast foods, such<br />

as granola bars, bagels, bananas, yogurt,<br />

cottage cheese, dried fruit, instant<br />

oatmeal, whole-wheat toaster waffles and<br />

fruit or vegetable juice.<br />

• Be flexible. If your child can’t or won’t eat<br />

first thing in the morning, offer fruit juice<br />

at home and pack a breakfast to go.<br />

English muffins or bagels with peanut<br />

butter, a low-fat cheese sandwich or<br />

whole-wheat banana nut bread will travel<br />

well. You can also ask if your child can<br />

have breakfast at school-many school<br />

cafeterias offer morning meals.<br />

The best breakfasts include foods with<br />

carbohydrates, proteins and fats. This type<br />

of meal can satisfy hunger and maintain<br />

blood sugar levels for hours. Sugary foods<br />

cause a quick rise in blood sugar and<br />

energy that fizzles out in about one hour.<br />

The bottom line on breakfast<br />

A morning meal gives kids an edge on<br />

hunger, energy and brainpower. Even if it<br />

means setting alarm clocks 20 minutes<br />

early, find a way to make breakfast a<br />

regular at your house-your kids aren’t<br />

ready for school without it.<br />

MPCA Ladies Game Night<br />

Join us other neighborhood ladies for game night and pot luck. We play<br />

Bunco ($13) and LRC ($3). Bring your favorite dish to share Thursday,<br />

<strong>September</strong> 6 th at 6:30 PM in the <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong> Clubhouse. Newbies<br />

we always love to teach you how to play. Such easy games and some<br />

great prizes, but the fun of getting together for great food and great new<br />

friends is the best part. We play the first Thursday of each month at the<br />

same location and time.<br />

Street Representative<br />

<strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong> is launching a new committee, “Street Representative<br />

Committee” and we need you to make this committee a success!!<br />

What is a “Street Representative?”<br />

Each Representative would volunteer to communicate issues on behalf<br />

of their street in <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong>, which are then logged and followed<br />

up by the office staff, the Board of Directors and other relevant county<br />

agencies. Representatives also voice inquiries and suggestions for<br />

community development. It uses the skills and experience of local<br />

people to create safer and better neighborhoods.<br />

Additionally, each representative is encouraged to communicate ideas<br />

for positive activities or events and we help them to put their ideas into<br />

practice in their community. This provides local people a platform to<br />

share their agenda for community development.<br />

Being a part of this committee will give you a unique opportunity to have<br />

your voice heard as issues or ideas arise. You will also meet like-minded<br />

people, giving them the potential to work together in order to have a<br />

greater impact for the benefit of your community. By partnering together,<br />

we believe this community group would be able to achieve great things<br />

with in our community. The committee will meet for quarterly in the<br />

community clubhouse. The first meeting will be Tuesday, October 16,<br />

<strong>2018</strong> at 7 PM. Please email the office at office@mphoa.org if you are<br />

interested or would like more information.<br />

2019 Board of Directors<br />

Annual Election<br />

An elected Board of 5 Directors manage the affairs of the HOA. Each of the<br />

Directors is elected for a 3-year term. The 5 Board positions are staggered<br />

in rotation meaning every year there is at least one Board position up for<br />

re-election. The Board election will be held November 13, <strong>2018</strong> at the<br />

Annual Meeting. For 2019, there will be two Board positions open for reelection.<br />

A bio can be found for each candidate on the website. A Proxy<br />

will be mailed out in the Annual Mailing in October. We have to meet<br />

the quorum in order to have a valid election. If we do not have enough<br />

members return the proxy/vote, then we will have to do another mailing<br />

which will cost the members, $1,200. Please help keep your HOA Dues<br />

down, by voting this year.<br />

2019 HOA Dues<br />

A statement along with the Annual letter will be mailed out to all<br />

homeowners in October. The 2019 Maintenance Fee are due on January<br />

1, 2019. If you want to get a head start and not have to pay all at once you<br />

can set up a monthly auto pay through your online bill pay. There is no<br />

charge to do this. Contact our office for more information.<br />

Questions? Comments? Suggestions?<br />

We welcome communication from homeowners and residents. The<br />

MPCA Board of Directors are your neighbors and are available to answer<br />

questions. We love having comments and suggestion from everyone as<br />

we strive to make <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong> a great place to live. Please contact<br />

us at anytime via email at mpcakaty@sbcglobal.net.<br />

<strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong> Roadways<br />

Please help us keep our streets clear. We are receiving many complaints from<br />

residents about cars being parked in the street with empty driveways. Please be<br />

considerate of your neighbors when parking your vehicles. Try to always park<br />

in your garage or on your driveway. If you can’t park in your garage because<br />

you have too much clutter, spend some time and clean out your garage! As a<br />

reminder, commercial vehicles are not allowed in <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong> subdivision.<br />

Street Gutters And Drains<br />

We ask that you keep the street area in front of your home clean, so that<br />

leaves, pine needles, grass clippings and dirt won’t accumulate in the<br />

gutters next to the curb and end up being washed into the drains causing<br />

them to back up and flood the streets. If you see someone putting grass<br />

clippings, oil or other debris down the drains, please contact the MUD<br />

District and the County at 281-463-6300. This includes lawn contractors<br />

that are blowing the leaves into the street instead of bagging them.<br />

How to Report Backyard Nuisance<br />

If you have a neighbor with a terrible backyard such as garbage dumping,<br />

unsanitary conditions, unsecured private swimming pools, etc., you can<br />

go to Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services’ Website<br />

to file a complaint, www.hcphes.org/eph/complaints.<br />

Need Curb Repair??<br />

Do you have a broken curb in front of your home... Did you know that<br />

Harris County Precinct 3 will come and fix it? It is as easy as going<br />

to their website and filling out the service request form. They will<br />

come and fix it for free (well, that is your tax dollars at work)! They<br />

will not fix the curved part that attaches to your driveway, that is the<br />

homeowner’s responsibility. You can go to www.harriscountytx.gov/<br />

servicerequestform/default.aspx?pct3 and fill out the service request<br />

form if you have a broken curb that needs repaired.<br />

Clubhouse Rental<br />

Clubhouse rental is subject to availability on a first come/first serve<br />

basis. The clubhouse is only rented to <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong> adult residents<br />

(owner or renter) in good standing (maintenance fee current and not in<br />

violation of deed restrictions). Resident must show valid ID when renting<br />

facility and must be present during the entire time of rental. A rental<br />

fee of $50 is required at the time the reservation is made. Rental of the<br />

Clubhouse requires refundable deposit of $275.<br />

HOURS OF RENTALS & FEE RATES<br />

• Monday-Saturday, 8 AM-4 PM: $50<br />

• Monday-Saturday, 5 PM-1 AM: $50<br />

• Sunday, 8 AM-1 PM: $50<br />

• Sunday, 1:30 PM-1 AM: $50<br />

• All Day Rentals from 8 AM-1 AM: $100<br />

Non-Profit Clubhouse Rental<br />

The <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong> Clubhouse is available to non-profit adult and<br />

youth groups for meetings. The meeting times and days are: 3 PM, 5:30 PM,<br />

6:45 PM and 7 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday (some<br />

exceptions regarding times on Sunday). Reservations must be made at<br />

least 2 weeks prior to reservation date. For additional details, contact the<br />

MPCA office at 281-492-2949. All groups who wish to use the Clubhouse<br />

6<br />

Garage Sales<br />

MPCA would like to suggest that garage sales be conducted the first<br />

Friday and Saturday of each month. This will eliminate the many signs<br />

that are out each week and also makes for a stronger turn out. Most area<br />

communities only allow sales twice a year. <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong> could be<br />

known for its “Once a Month” garage sales.<br />

Do not attach your garage sale signs to the STOP signs, as it is against the<br />

law and the County can issue citations for this. If a sign is on a public right<br />

of way, like the esplanades), they may be subject to fines of $500-$1,000<br />

per occurrence per day. We also ask that you do not post your signs on<br />

the property of another resident. When your sale is over, please go back<br />

and pick up all of your signs.<br />

Reminder For Dog Walkers<br />

Be a responsible/considerate pet owner by picking up your dog’s waste<br />

from your neighbor’s yard when you’re out for a walk. There’s nothing<br />

more frustrating than stepping in fecal matter in your own yard when you<br />

don’t even have a pet.<br />

Procedure For Reporting<br />

Barking Dogs:<br />

1. Contact your neighbor and work it out as good neighbors should.<br />

2. In the event that #1 is not possible, contact the Constables at 281-<br />

463-6666. It is our understanding that the Constables will investigate the<br />

barking dogs. In order to file a formal complaint you must be willing to<br />

give the officer your name, address and phone number for their records.<br />

Procedure For Reporting Loose Dogs,<br />

Dog Bites & Lost Pets:<br />

1. Contact Harris County Animal Control at 281-999-3191 or 281-999-<br />

3194. A recorded message will guide you through the system. When<br />

reporting a loose animal you will be asked to give your name and<br />

address, a description of the animal and the address of the animal’s<br />

owner (if known).<br />

Two Katy Isd High Schools<br />

Are “Best In Houston Area”<br />

Katy ISD is known to have some of the best schools in the area and just<br />

recently Cinco Ranch High and Seven Lakes High were recognized as part<br />

of the top 100 list of “the best high schools in the Houston area for <strong>2018</strong>”<br />

according to the nonprofit organization Children at Risk.<br />

For 13 years, Children at Risk has ranked Texas schools to help parents,<br />

educators and community members understand how their schools are<br />

performing and to spark dialogue on the quality of public education<br />

across Texas. This year Seven Lakes High School received an A+ and<br />

Cinco Ranch received an A.<br />

“Katy ISD has a total of 10 high schools, including our Miller Career &<br />

Technology School and Raines High School and many of them often<br />

find themselves ranking high on these prestigious lists,” said Assistant<br />

Superintendent for Secondary School Leadership and Support Jeff Stocks.<br />

“Katy ISD continues to be a destination school district where families find<br />

great opportunities for their children to reach their fullest potential.”<br />

To rank the schools, researchers examine student achievement,<br />

achievement plus poverty level, student growth and college readiness.<br />

GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY<br />

SEPTEMBER 28 TH<br />

Neighbors are an integral part of our social lives - whether at home or at work. Good<br />

Neighbor Day on <strong>September</strong> 28 th is an annual holiday that promotes neighborliness<br />

and niceness towards people who surround us.<br />

How to Celebrate?<br />

• Be nice to your neighbor - at home or elsewhere.<br />

• If you don’t know your neighbors well, maybe today is your<br />

chance to go up to them and strike up a conversation.<br />

• Bake some goodies and share them with your neighbors.<br />

Bring them to work for your work neighbors.<br />

• Invite your neighbors to your home for a meal.<br />

Did You Know…<br />

…that the word neighbor comes from the Old English word neahgebur,<br />

where neah means near and gebur means inhabitant?<br />

On <strong>September</strong> 28 th , National Good Neighbor Day is celebrated. This annual holiday<br />

was first proclaimed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Mrs. Becky Mattson<br />

from Lakeside, Montana came up with the idea of a national holiday recognizing<br />

the importance of good neighbors in 1971. In 1978, U.S. President Jimmy Carter<br />

announced the creation of a national day aimed at raising public awareness that<br />

good neighbors help achieve human understanding and build strong, thriving<br />

communities. Since then, National Good Neighbor Day has been acknowledged<br />

by various levels of government and is celebrated every year. The holiday was<br />

originally celebrated on the fourth Sunday in <strong>September</strong>, but in 2003 its date<br />

was changed to <strong>September</strong> 28 th . On this day, Nextdoor.com, a social network for<br />

neighborhoods, announces the recipients of Nextdoor’s Good Neighbor Award.<br />

Everyone can nominate a neighbor or a group of neighbors by writing a short story<br />

about what they have done to help their local community and make it a better<br />

place. National Good Neighbor Day is the perfect occasion to honor the people<br />

who make significant contributions to creating safer neighborhoods and stronger<br />

communities across the United States.<br />
