Westgate Easter Egg Hunt! 

Once again, the Westgate social committee will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt in the pool/park area on Saturday, April 20 th . Please email the social 

committee if you can pitch in and help make this a great event for our Westgate families: social@westgatetx.net. 

We’re ordering over 4,000 eggs for more fun for the kids! If you’d like to help supplement the eggs that the HOA is providing and add to the kids’ fun, 

please fill 12 plastic eggs (with goodies that are NOT chocolate); please drop them off at 7422 Vine Grove Ct. by Wednesday, April 17 th . 

On the morning of the egg hunt, we will hide the eggs at the park before 10 AM, please show up around 9:30 AM to help hide eggs and the activities will 

begin at 10 AM. Each child will hunt and collect eggs in different sections of the park separated by age group. 

We do need volunteers to help keep this organized and to help hide eggs. If we have enough people sign up in advance, we’d like to have games and 

races. If you’d like to help and for questions, email social@westgatetx.net. 

Last year, the kids had so much fun finding toys and goodies in the eggs. We hope to see you there! 

Fire Ant Week! APRIL 7th THROUGH APRIL 13th 

It is fire ant season again. WE WOULD LIKE ALL RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE in FIRE ANT WEEK 

by treating your yard for fire ants during the week of April 7 th through April 13 th . Signs will be 

posted at the entry to our subdivision as a reminder. According to research as Texas A&M, if we 

all participate, we will be fire ant free. If you don’t participate, your neighbors will pass their 

fire ants on to you. This is only twice a year project-once in Spring and once in Fall. The optimal 

method for treatment is when the temperature is between 65 and 90 degrees and the following 

two step method is used: 

• Step 1. Once or twice per year, usually in spring and fall, broadcast a bait-formulated insecticide 

or use an outdoor bait station product as directed on the label. Most conventional baits are 

applied at a rate of 1 to 1 1⁄2 pounds of product per acre, although some products are applied 

at higher rates. 

• Step 2. Preferably, wait several days or more after broadcasting the bait and then treat nuisance 

ant colonies (such as those in sensitive or high-traffic areas) using an individual mound treatment method. Otherwise, be patient and wait for the bait 

treatment to work. 

For more detailed information, go to www.extension.org and search “fire ant treatment.” Please participate and we’ll all benefit and make it safer for 

our kids and pets.

Westgate Spring 

Garage Sale 

SATURDAY, MAY 4, 2018 

Westgate’s deed restrictions state that we can only have 

garage sales on designated days for the community; having 

them any other time can earn you an immediate fine. So, 

it’s time again for our Westgate Garage Sale; this year, the 

Spring event will happen on Saturday, May 4 th . While you’re 

spring cleaning, go through that extra “stuff” you have in 

your closets, declutter your house and make some extra 

money! 

That week, we’ll have signs out at the entrances of the 

neighborhood to advertise the event for the community. 

You can put additional signs to direct people to your house, 

but please remove them after your sale is over. 

Splashpad and 

Pool Season 

The pool will be open weekends in May, Tuesday 

through Sunday during June through August, 

then weekends again in September. The 

splashpad will be open spring break through 

October, depending on weather. 

We have installed gate access cards to enter 

the pool and splashpad. Once you receive your 

card, you should keep it and use the same card 

as long as you live in Westgate. If you need to 

replace yours, you must fill out the form, which 

you can get by calling Inframark or downloading 

it from our website (www.westgatetx.net). Send 

the form to Inframark and they will send you the access card. 

• Keep this card as long as you are a resident in Westgate. We will not be 

replacing them every year like we did the pool tags. 

• The first card is free. Any subsequent cards must be purchased. Up to two 

cards per house. 

• Each household can bring up to six people to the pool. It does not matter 

how many cards you have. 

• Tenants must get the card through their landlord. 


Difficulty Paying Your Annual Dues? 

If you haven’t yet paid your Westgate fees for 2019 and anticipate 

not being able to pay on time, be sure to call Inframark (281-870- 

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

tacked on-from the attorney, etc. $635 can turn into $1000+ 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. Also, go to our annual meeting and you will receive a 

copy of the financials.

Why You Should Always Call 

the Non-Emergency Number 

When an incident happens - suspicious person or vehicle, someone 

rifles through your car, etc - call the non-emergency number 

whether anything was taken or not, whether damage was done or 

not. 

Our contract officer spoke to some residents while he was 

responding to a call. They informed him that they did share info on 

social media but didn’t call HCSO. HCSO is not monitoring Social 

media. 

HCSO put their non-contract officers where there are problems. 

No calls = no problems. One call a week or so does not prompt 

a concern. But if everyone who posted on social media called it 

in, it would be, then HCSO would be justified in allocating more 

resources in our area to combat crime: 713-221-6000. 

2019 - Firing On All Cylinders 

by Westgate Resident and Realtor Tim Bogott 

The Houston economy has been very good the last couple of years and is 

now firing on all cylinders thanks to the tax cut legislation and business 

deregulation reforms. The Houston economy should pick up more steam 

in 2019 based off the economic gains, cited by Dr. Ted Jones, Chief 

Economist for Stewart Title in his real estate and economic outlook for 

2019 presentation given on February 14, 2019. 

KEY ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PRESENTATION: 

1. Personal Income in 2018 grew 3.2%, largest since 2009. 

2. Houston, The Woodlands and Sugar Land added 114,700 new jobs in 

2018. 

3. For the first time in 75 years, the United States will be a Net Oil Exporter. 

4. Oil companies no longer need $50-$60 a barrel pricing to be profitable 

with new improved drilling techniques and technology. 

5. The resurgence in U.S.-based manufacturing will continue as more 

companies take advantage of the business deregulation, tax reforms and 

cheaper energy prices. 

TWO REPORTS SUPPORT THE CONTINUED GROWTH AND 

STRENGTH OF THE HOUSTON REAL ESTATE MARKET: 

1. Zillow reported the 2018 tax cut legislation has provided an extra $80 

Billion in income and this money is projected to be spent on real estate 

between 2018-2021. 

2. A study by the consulting firm Accenture, states the Millennials (25-34) 

will benefit from the largest transfer of wealth in history of an estimated 

$30 trillion from the Baby Boomers.

Do You Know Your Deed Restrictions? 

In an effort to educate our residents, each month we highlight some deed 

restriction or other item that needs improvement in Westgate: 

GARAGE SALES: In the Declaration of Covenants…, Article VII, section 

B., pg. 11: “Garage sales or yard sales…[are] prohibited. The Association 

may…provide for a community wide garage sale.” Also, Texas state 

law considers garage sales an “uncurable” violation that can incur an 

IMMEDIATE fine. Our fine policy states that fine will be $50. 

Now is the time to start scheduling your next Generac 

Generator maintenance. This ensures your generator's 

functionality and overall reliability. We partner with 

Generac to provide our customers with the highest 

quality generator services. Call our professionals to 

schedule your next maintenance today! Not a generator 

owner, yet? We can provide you with a detailed quote to 

install one. 

Please only have garage sales on community wide garage sales days. We 

have one in the spring and one in the fall. Having them at any other time 

may result in an immediate fine. Why? Unexpected traffic concerns and 

parking congestion, as well as other kinds of disruptions, occur during 

random garage sales in the neighborhood. Also, people leaving their 

signs up after the sale is over increases the trash on the common areas. 

Having a community wide garage sale enables people to have warning to 

prepare for garage sales and limits the number of times they have to deal 

with difficulties, but also allows homeowners to occasionally have sales 

to clear out their clutter. It’s a compromise. 

Following these instructions helps keep our neighborhood looking neat 

and thus keeps up our property values. Home condition tends to be a 

contagious condition-good or bad. Let’s be considerate of our neighbors!

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. 

Recommended Tradespeople List on 

the Westgate Facebook Page 

Have you ever needed to call someone for repairs or to have work done, 

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 called “Westgate Residents who 

provide Services.” If you are a resident who owns a business, provide a 

description of your services, price range, history of your business, etc. 

Support your neighbors by checking it out; you might find what you need 

very close to home! To access the documents, go to www.facebook.com 

and search for “Westgate Subdivision.” Look at the top of the page under 

“Files” and you’ll see them there! Add yours to the list!

Annual Superintendent’s Fun Run 

And Festival Raises Record $110,000 

Nearly 6,000 Cypress-Fairbanks ISD staff, students, community members 

and business partners came together at the Berry Center and Cy-Fair FCU 

Stadium for the sixth annual Superintendent’s Fun Run and Festival on 

March 2 nd . The fundraiser culminated with CFISD and Memorial Hermann 

Cypress Hospital representatives presenting a check worth a record 

$110,000 to the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation (CFEF). 

The event featured a 5K run and 1-mile family-friendly walk/run. Both had 

new course layouts, with the 5K race taking place through Towne Lake 

and Lone Star College-CyFair. The family path included the walkways on 

the stadium’s home side and featured high school inflatable tunnels on 

the field and spirit teams encouraging participants. Sponsor and vendor 

booths, food trucks, bounce houses and student performances made the 

day even more special for all event guests. 

“We had great crowds and we brought in a record total. I can’t sufficiently 

thank our CFISD employees, community and of course, our title sponsor, 

Memorial Hermann Cypress,” said Dr. Mark Henry, CFISD superintendent 

of schools. “It’s just a great event. When you’re in a large community and 

a large district, a community event like this brings us all a little closer 

together. That’s what it’s really all about.” 

The event drew approximately 4,400 total race participants. In addition, 

1,400 registered for the sleep-in pass, which allowed an option for those 

who wanted to support the CFEF but were unable to attend. Nearly 550 

students volunteered, while 18 student performance groups entertained 

race and festival participants. Student performances included the 

Cypress Lakes High School R.E.D. Storm, Tipps Elementary School 

Synergy Squad, Pope Elementary School percussion ensemble, Francone 

Elementary School Hoopers and M. Robinson Elementary School choir. 

“This community comes out and supports Cy-Fair ISD and the Cy-Fair 

Educational Foundation and Memorial Hermann Cypress is just proud to 

be a small part of that,” said Heath Rushing, Memorial Hermann Cypress 

and Katy senior vice president and CEO. “The community supports us 

and we can’t do what we do without that support, so when there are 

opportunities for us to give back and help provide scholarships for 

students within the district, it’s really easy for us to come out here and be 

part of such a great event.” 


Cpas Helping Schools Grants More 

Than $8,700 To Cfisd Schools 

The Houston CPA Society awarded $8,713 in grant funds to five CFISD 

schools as part of the CPAs Helping Schools program, culminating the Fall 

2018 cycle with a reception in February in which the district accounted 

for more than 40 percent of the funds awarded. 

The primary focus of the CPAs Helping Schools program is to provide 

improved educational opportunities for all students, especially atrisk 

students or those in need of special programs to enable quality 

learning environments. Since 2002, the program has awarded more 

than $550,000 to over 200 schools in the 13-county area it serves, with 

financial support helping establish and continue initiatives for math and 

technology, library programs, science materials, fine arts programs and 

health awareness. 

In total for the Fall 2018 cycle, CPAs Helping Schools received 20 requests, 

with the committee fully or partially funding 13 proposals for a total 

of $19,613. Carol Spencer, the society’s member services coordinator, 

oversees the application process. At the reception, Houston CPA Society 

Board of Directors members Jim Stinson, Bradley Elgin, Kristie Ondracek, 

Darrell Groves and Brian Baumler, along with CPAs Helping Schools 

committee members David Garza and Laura Mardis, presented grants to 

the following CFISD schools: 

• Duryea Elementary School - support for the “Making Informational Text 

Relevant w/Hands-On Learning” project; 

• Hancock Elementary School - support of the school’s “Math in Motion!” 

project; 

• Jersey Village High School - support of “Quickbooks Pro Certification” 

proposal; 

• Kirk Elementary School - support for a “Keyboards for Kirk” initiative 

and 

• Postma Elementary School - support for a “Building on Biographies” 

project. 

National Volunteer Month 

National Volunteer month in the United States takes place in the month 

of April. This month is dedicated to honoring all of the volunteers in 

our communities as well as encouraging volunteerism throughout the 

month. April became National Volunteer Month as part of President 

George H. W. Bush’s 1000 Points of Light campaign in 1991. In the United 

States, volunteerism is instilled at a young age. In many parts of the 

country, it is the cornerstone of summer vacation or woven into after 

school programs. Most organizations in small towns, rural counties and 

the largest cities would not function without volunteers. In some families, 

the baton of volunteerism is handed down generation after generation. 

Rural fire and ambulance departments remain staffed due to the efforts 

of volunteers. The underprivileged receive much needed medical care 

thanks to volunteers. Long overdue repairs and upgrades are made 

to a senior women’s home thanks to an organization’s annual call for 

donations and skilled workers. A woman answers a call on a suicide 

hotline because she cared enough to give up a few hours to train and 

listen to someone desperate and alone. A team sets up tables at a soup 

kitchen every week. Another group delivers meals to men and women 

who can no longer cook for themselves. Boys and girls sell ice cream 

sandwiches during a fair to raise money for a homeless shelter. 

Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes. They pick a cause and make 

a difference in someone’s life. Sometimes the difference a drop in the 

bucket. Other times it creates a tidal wave of change. From the anonymous 

volunteers who donate their resources to those whose efforts are part of 

larger national organizations like 4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts of America or 

American Red Cross or a local grassroots group, their missions provide 

valuable support to communities in times of need.

students of Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. Our first tournament raised $3,500 

and over the past 30 years the B. F. Adam Golf Classic has successfully 

raised almost $3.5M. 

CFEF was established in 1970 as a non-profit to raise money to fund 

scholarships for high school graduates. Through the generosity of the 

Cy-Fair community and commitment from the Board of Trustees, the 

Foundation has grown tremendously with scholarship awards totaling 

more than $8.5M to graduating seniors from Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. CFEF 

is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, all contributions are tax deductible, 

as allowed by the law.

2Nd Annual Simone Biles 

International Invitational 

Dr. Scott Rand, primary care sports medicine physician 

at Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital and Olympic 

gold medalist Simone Biles at the 2 nd annual Simone Biles 

International Invitational. Houston Methodist Willowbrook 

Hospital sponsored the competition and provided medical 

coverage throughout the event, which ran February 14 th -

Still on the Fence About Hosting an 

Exchange Student? 

You don’t have any kids? Are you a single parent? Same sex couple? An 

empty nester? This is not a problem, we place our students in all kinds 

of families! 

You’re not rich? Neither am I! Your exchange student comes with their 

own spending money and health insurance. All you provide is room/ 

board and three meals a day. Oh and TLC…but that’s free. 

Live in the middle of nowhere? Small town? Not a big deal. Some kids prefer 

to get away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The exchange students 

also do pretty well in small schools, as they usually get to be the center of 

attention and make friends rather quickly. Our students also get chances 

to travel to New York, Washington DC, Hawaii and California… so they can 

get their fill of the city life and return back to the peaceful sounds of nature. 

Do you consider yourself a boring person? More than likely this is not true 

and you should quit being so hard on yourself. Your student will make 

friends. Your student will meet other exchange students. Your student will 

attend activities offered by our program. Your student will get involved in 

sports and school clubs. Your purpose is not to entertain them. But you 

might find that you bring a little adventure to each other’s lives. 

Kids are too young? Great! Lots of students love young kids and your kids 

will love them. It’s beneficial to introduce your kids to new cultures at a 

very young age. You’re preparing them to accept people no matter what 

the religion, color of their skin,or language they speak. That my friend, is 

good parenting. 

Don’t hold back! This is a great experience for both parties. You get the 

opportunity to change a child’s life. You get the satisfaction of seeing 

them grow, even after they leave your home into becoming a doctor, a 

lawyer, a diplomat, artist, teacher… the list goes on. And you contributed 

to that success! And the best part of it all, is you gain another family 

member for life. We need people like you to give these kids a chance. 

STS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to place 

exchange students in our area. If you are interest in hosting, please 

contact me at 832-455-7881 or at vicki.stsfoundation@yahoo.com. I’ll be 

happy to answer any question you might have and get you started on 

hosting your very own student!

CELEBRATE PASSOVER IN NORTHWEST HOUSTON 

This year beginning on sundown of April 19 th , we will be Celebrating 

Passover, marking exactly 3,331 years since the Exodus from ancient 

Egypt! Few Jewish holidays evoke the same warm sentiments as 

Passover. Memories of family and friends gathered as the four cups of 

wine are poured, the four questions asked and the Matzah served, all 

contribute to Passover’s popularity in the Jewish community. Bringing 

the warmth and tradition of this festival to the Cy-Fair Community, 

Chabad of Cypress & Northwest Houston is inviting all Jewish residents 

to participate in the Community Seder to be held on Friday night, April 

19 th . 

“The Seder takes participants through the wondrous liberation of our 

ancestors from Egyptian bondage, while sharing the relevance and 

beauty of the age old festival in our modern lives.” Included in the Seder 

will be a delectable catered dinner paired with a variety of fine imported 

wines and handmade round ‘Shmurah’ Matzah. 

“Passover is not simply a celebration of the historic liberation of an 

ancient people,” Rabbi Levi Marinovsky, Director of Chabad of Chabad of 

Cypress, stated in the press release. “Passover is about our own personal 

liberation - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Passover inspires us 

to break free from the shackles restraining us from reaching new heights 

- in our lives, relationships and connection with God.” 

Chabad’s community seder is part of a global Passover campaign that 

began in 1954, when the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of 

blessed memory, considered the most influential rabbi in modern history, 

launched the Shmurah Matzah initiative as part of an effort to create 

awareness and promote observance of the holiday. An estimated four 

million hand-baked Shmurah Matzahs will be distributed by the Chabad- 

Lubavitch movement this year. If you would like a Free Handmade 

Shmurah Matzah delivered directly to your door, please email rabbi@ 

chabadcypress.com. 

All are welcome to join the community seder, regardless of Jewish 

affiliation or background. To make a reservation or for more details, 

contact Rabbi@chabadcypress.com or 832-651-6964. To Learn More 

about Passover visit: ChabadCypress.com/Passover. 

Chabad of Cypress & Northwest Houston is a non-profit organization 

serving the Cypress, Jersey Village, Copperfield and other Northwest 

Houston areas with meaningful and joyful opportunities for Jewish 

living, learning and celebration. 

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.

Gardening Tips For April 

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great 

many pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you 

buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying 

ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more on bagged material 

and save lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” 

below the top of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will 

aid in minimizing pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate 

termite inspections. 

• Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12” 

- 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that 

is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can 

grow up next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of 

the slab. The most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover 

plantings, growing high against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy 

that grows on your walls. 

• Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray 

eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to 

resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The 

fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi from 

occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a healthy 

winter’s dormancy. 

• Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop 

brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin 

and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a) 

lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control. 

Most important is proper watering: Water once per week (unless you 

get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not water.) • Water heavily (1” - 2”) 

for total lawn coverage. • In severe drought, water every 5th day. • 

Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. • A heavy 

deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger and more 

drought resistant roots. • Less watering also saves you money!!
