Easton Commons Village (EC) Editorial

When we moved into Easton Commons twenty-three years ago, we did so because it was a beautiful neighborhood … a place where we really wanted to live. Today, I still believe it is both - beautiful and desirable. The only way that we can insure that it remains that way is by pride, both collective and individual. It is up to all the residents to do all they can to maintain an attractive and secure neighborhood. Don’t think “I’m only one person … there is nothing I can do.” There is plenty that each one of us can do. Pride in the neighborhood begins with individual pride in our own homes and yards. We should do those things that make our homes attractive and the neighborhood will be attractive as well. In the area of security, there is also a great deal that each of us can do. Get to know your neighbors. Let them know that you are willing to look out for them and their property and ask them to do the same for you. Nothing deters crime like alert residents. It all comes down to “What can I do to improve my neighborhood?” Take ownership of your neighborhood. Al Nash Easton Commons Homeowners Association

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ? We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor of chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, (procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. We will make this special program available through March. The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.

(EC) Trucks Prohibited

The parking of commercial trucks in the subdivision or on Easton Commons Drive by the Easton Commons Nature Park, is prohibited by law and signs are posted to that effect. When a large truck parks in the restricted area, residents are encouraged to call the Harris County Sheriff’s Office nonemergency number (713-221-6000) to make a report.

(EC) HOME IMPROVEMENTS

The Block Captain Program is off and running in Easton Commons. Block captains may be coming around to your doors and introducing themselves as Block Captains. It will not hurt their feelings if you ask for confirmation that they are who they say they are. Once you have become convinced of their authenticity, please cooperate to the extent that keeps you comfortable. Interested persons should send an email to Ken Johnson at admin@ eccrimewatch.com

To make changes to the exterior appearance of your home (i.e. painting, new windows, new roof, new fence, etc.) an ARC Application must be filled out and sent to SCS Management. All exterior changes must be approved via an ARC Application. A copy of this form can be found at www.copperfield.org under Easton Commons. Until the Architectural Review Committee Chair position is filled, the applications will be reviewed by the HOA Board of Directors.

(EC) Deed Restrictions

There have been a number of changes in the community volunteers. We would like to express our thanks to David de la Isla who stepped down as President of the Homeowners Association as his three-year term expired. At the same time, we would like to welcome Janene Thomas who was elected to serve on the Homeowners Association Board of Directors at the January Annual Meeting. We would also like to acknowledge Velma Nash who has consented to serving the community on the Architectural Review Committee and Mary Myers who volunteered to help out on the Pool Committee. In addition we would like to acknowledge Brandon Scott who volunteered several months ago to serve on the Pool Committee. Thanks to all of you.

Every month SCS Management rides through Easton Commons to check for Deed Restriction violations. The Deed Restrictions set the standard on how our property is taken care of. A well maintained community will impact the property value of your home, which is most likely the largest investment you have. If you have received a letter from SCS regarding a Deed Restriction violation, please take care of the violation as soon as possible. If you are having problems getting an issue resolved, please contact SCS Management to inform them and to schedule a timeline for the correction. If you ignore the letter, additional letters are sent out which can result in additional expenses, which will be added to your account. If you are not sure of the Deed Restrictions, you can access them on www. copperfield.org under Easton Commons.

Our deed restrictions state that all trash, including grass clippings cannot be on the curb until 6 pm the night before pickup and your trashcans must be picked up from the curb by 6 pm the day of pickup. Soâ&#x20AC;Ś you cannot have trash on the curb until Monday and Thursday nights until 6 pm and everything must be removed from the curb by 6 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Southdown Village (SD) COMMUNITY SERVICE GET INVOLVED

It’s easy to feel disconnected, as many parents juggle work, school, kids and activity after activity. But some simple things can bring a family closer playing a game, going for a hike or cooking a meal together. One of the most satisfying, fun and productive ways to unite is volunteering for community service projects. Volunteerism also sets a good example for your kids and helps the community. Reasons to Get Involved It feels good. The satisfaction and pride that come from helping others are important reasons to volunteer. When you commit your time and effort to an organization or a cause you feel strongly about, the feeling of fulfillment can be endless. It strengthens your community. Organizations and agencies that use volunteers are providing important services at low or no cost to those who need them. When a community is doing well as a whole, its individuals are better off, too. It can strengthen your family. Volunteerism is a great way for families to have fun and feel closer. But many people say they don’t have the time to volunteer after fulfilling work and family commitments. If that’s the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You could select just one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition (for example, making and donating gift baskets to care facilities for the elderly around the holidays). Volunteering on Your Own If you’ve never been involved in community service before, volunteering as an individual may be a good place to start. Want to improve your computer knowledge? You may get free on-the-job training. Have you been out of the workforce raising children? Volunteering may be a painless way for you to get back into the routine of working before taking the plunge into a paid position. And if you’re looking for a career change, community service is a networker’s dream. You can meet people who may offer opportunities you’ve never thought of. You can sample different workplaces and see how you like various fields. Your volunteering will definitely help others and may help you, too.

(WC) MARCH GARDENING TIPS

March brings us the first hints of warmer weather, but do not lose sight of the fact that there is still a slim possibility for a freeze at least through the middle of the month. Be vigilant a little longer to enjoy any tropical trees or plants you may have. LAWN/GARDEN CARE • If you haven’t already performed pruning duty to your crepe myrtles, roses, as well as other types of trees, time is quickly running out. Get that unwanted deadwood or hazardous growth removed before blooms appear, as time is now short. • March is when our azaleas really put on a beautiful show for us. Remember, we receive only what we give and with azaleas what is needed from us to enjoy their color is plenty of water and proper feedings. Following these steps will really help your azaleas put on a great show: • Feed with nutrients specifically designed for azaleas (azalea/gardenia/ camellia combinations are available). • Feed 6 weeks after first blooms, feed again 6 weeks later, then again, for a total of 3 times within 12 weeks. Do not trim until the blooming season has been completed • Be sure to monitor soil acidity – azaleas do best when the ph level is between 5.6 and 6.5, with 6.0 being ideal. If the acidity is too great, add sawdust, dried mulch or ferrous sulfate tilled into the soil. Have the soil tested to ensure the proper balance. • This past winter was challenging for Live Oak owners as they never seemed to stop dropping acorns and leaves. If they have stopped and have started to display new blooms, the latter part of March or early April would be a great time to replace bedding mulch around hedge and tree areas. • The warmer than normal days seen in late January and early February may have brought back the need to apply fungicide to prevent brown patch. If your lawn is showing signs of those dreaded yellow rings, use a product that contains Banner, Terrachlor, Bayleton or Benomyl. Follow manufacturer instructions, but realize you may need to treat all affected areas more than once.

• Your lawn may also be suffering from an excess of weeds commonly seen during the cooler season. Be sure to apply a post-emergent broadleaf product such as Fertilome Weed-Free Zone or Bonide Weed Beater Ultra to control weeds and prevent your lawn from having to compete for nutrients. Using a liquid product is usually always more preferable and environmentally safer than a granular product. • Be sure to use the above products before temperatures hover into the 80’s, otherwise warmer weather products such as GreenLight Wipe Out, Bonide Weed Beater for Southern Lawns and Fertilome Weed Out should be used to prevent your lawn from becoming stressed-out. Make sure the weed control is approved for southern lawns - many are not and will kill your lawn. • To get a head-start on greening up your lawn once potential weed and fungus threats have been addressed, use of a product with a 3-1-2 ratio in early March will help get you on track. Realize this is basic, immediate release fertilization and not slow-release. The best fertilizer for this purpose is a 15-5-10 product. • Your watering schedule should be altered slightly, but not to levels typically utilized during months where temps. hover around 80 degrees. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• END OF INDIVIDUAL VILLAGE NEWS •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Low Income Apartments

A developer, Galaxy Companies (San Antonio), has filed a preliminary application with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). They have applied for the 9% tax credit. They are planning on constructing a low-income housing complex (apartments) on Queenston near the corner of Barker Cypress and the Stone Gate main entrance (12447 Queenston Blvd). This is not the developer who was planning on building a low-income complex last year. This is a new developer who has filed an application (2013) for the same location. TDHCA will have a public hearing in Houston about potential housing tax credit units in May or early June. The last day the public has to submit comments (letters, phone calls, faxes, etc.) to TDHCA is by 5:00 PM on June 14, 2013. Contact your elected officials and TDHCA about your thoughts regarding the proposed unit. Contact Misael Arroyo at TDHCA, 512-475-2596, misael. arroyo@tdhca.state.tx.us

We will have Special Agent Anton Chapman from the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations and Human Smuggling/Trafficking. We will also have Captain Ricky Ricks from the Harris County Sheriff’s Vice Department and Cy-Fair ISD Chief of Police Alan Bragg. Topics will include Brothels and Human Trafficking, Drug Paraphernalia Shops around our schools and the safety of our children both on and off school campuses. The safety of our children is our utmost concern, especially after the death threats allegedly made by a sixth grader at Aragon Middle School (www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlsoSptPTfA). For more details on the threat at Aragon, view our website under News & Events. All these topics are related as brothels and drug paraphernalia shops bring in the unwanted element that endangers the safety of our children and community.

The Copperfield Coalition is concerned about the possibility that Lowery and Copeland Elementary Schools will be given Title I designation due to the increase of its economically disadvantaged student populations. We believe that if either school receives a Title I designation, our property values will be negatively impacted as they were in Aldine, Alief and Spring Branch. The Copperfield Coalition strongly favors all students receiving a quality education. This can best be accomplished by increasing the rigor of the school curriculum. The Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District Board of Trustees represents the community’s interest in the school district. They make the final decision on Title I designations. You are encouraged to send them an email, whether you support or oppose Title I and let them know your feelings. The email address is board@cfisd.net DeBra Edwards, Chair, CFISD Liaison Committee

Prostitution and Human Trafficking

The brothel at 18039 C FM 529 (across the street from Kroger) was raided by the Harris County Sheriff Department on January 31st. Two arrests were made for prostitution. Two citations were issued for not having a license for massage. All evidence gathered will be used by the DA’s office to file suit under the Abatement Law to have this establishment shut down permanently. This is made possible by the new SOB regulations that were passed by Commissioner’s Court late last year. We would also like to say Thank You to the Harris County Sheriff Department.

Virginia Noriega, DMD, MS

Dear Parents and Community Members: The journey toward an equitable state funding system took a positive turn on February 4th when a Texas judge ruled the current system unconstitutional. District Judge John Dietz ruled in favor of the more than 600 Texas school districts - including Cypress-Fairbanks ISD - that filed a lawsuit against the state last year. In a statement regarding the ruling, Judge Dietz echoed many of the same comments he made while ruling the state funding system unconstitutional in 2005. He also voiced the same confusion for school finance that I and countless other educators, have felt for many years: “I have to say, there are 26 million Texans and I doubt there are 26 people in this state who understand this system,” he said. Judge Dietz also declared that “there has never been a more expeditious trial of a school finance case anywhere in the United States,” cementing my belief that this was the only logical decision to be made during this 44-day trial. I applaud Judge Dietz, the four plaintiff teams that defended the school districts’ case and the dozens of superintendents and school funding authorities who provided critical testimony in reaching this key decision. The final, written order in the case is expected to be delivered in early March, at which point the state has pledged to appeal the ruling to the Texas Supreme Court. Although there will be more obstacles before an agreeable solution is reached, we look forward to working with legislators and other state leaders as we plot the path toward equitable school finance. Sincerely, Mark Henry Ed.D.

CY-HOPE GRANTS BENEFIT CFISD MUSIC PROGRAMS

A pair of grants from district supporter Cy-Hope, totaling $11,000, will benefit music programs at CFISD schools. One of the donations, in the amount of $10,000, will impact music programs at 18 elementary and six secondary campuses with 60 percent or more of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals. The other $1,000 grant will fund the CFISD Choral Festival in the spring.

Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) registration assistance, music equipment for classrooms and additional master classes for secondary campuses. “We are grateful and excited that Cy-Hope has made this generous contribution for our students. This will benefit many of our programs which otherwise would not have this opportunity,” said Larry Matysiak, CFISD director of fine arts. “Our teachers and students are very excited about this wonderful grant, which will go a long way to help our students succeed.”

For the organization’s support of CFISD music programs, the Board of Trustees recognized Cy-Hope representatives Lynda Zelenka, executive director and Dr. Betty Devine, during the Feb. 11th regular Board meeting at the Instructional Support Center (10300 Jones Road) at 6 PM. According to Zelenka, the donation came about when Dr. Devine - the founder and artistic director for the Houston Choral Society - expressed a desire to give back to Cy-Hope through her passion for music.

Lowery Elementary School

“Music crosses all generations and all demographics. It can bring joy to so many people, no matter their economic status,” Zelenka said. “I think that’s critical in the lives of our students. It’s a blessing for us to be able to fill a gap and make the community aware of some of these needs in Title I schools.” Cy-Hope provided an additional $1,000 grant to fund reinstatement of the district wide Choral Festival for fifth-grade students, last held in 2006. The upcoming event will be held April 11th at the Berry Center. “Our teachers and students are very excited to bring back this great tradition,” said Loretta Bourn, coordinator for elementary music. “It’s a special opportunity for 340 voices to come together to sing at the Berry Center.” The $10,000 donation is anticipated to benefit 16,564 elementary and 1,100 secondary students. A variety of needs will be addressed, including

Better Quality & Lower Prices Family Owned / No Commission Salesmen CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR THE TEXAS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Tashrima Hossain, Cypress Falls Key Club Editor It’s a cold winter morning. A small girl sits under a brightly decorated tree and eagerly tears the red and green paper from a large box. Excitement fills her eyes as the contents of her gift are unveiled before her - coloring books, art sets and other trinkets. Her hospital gown drags across the ground as she runs to present her treasures to the nearby nurse. She and other grateful children spread light in the dimly lit room of the Texas Children’s Hospital as they see what Santa has in store for them.

When the Key Club volunteers visited the hospital, the staff was enthusiastic to learn of the Christmas surprises in store for their patients. The children were quite grateful upon receiving their presents as well. Not only were the children thankful someone had them in mind this Christmas, but also the volunteers were enlightened by the experience. Without the generous donations from the Meadow’s Foundation, the project wouldn’t have been possible. The Cy-Falls Key Club was thankful for the funds to purchase the gifts for the hospital patients. This year, Santa took on a new name: the Cy-Falls Key Club. Every year, children throughout the world spend December mornings scurrying excitedly to their family’s tree to open gifts. At the Texas Children’s Hospital, however, the children are away from their home, their family and their traditions. Though many of them were tired from hours of chemotherapy or yet another surgery, they spent this winter smiling because Santa always cares. Key Club volunteers always care.

Scouts GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL Copper Corners Service Unit

The Cookies are here! If we missed stopping by your house, look for cookie booth sales at area businesses. Sales of Girl Scout cookies provide funding for individual troops and help to support our great Council camps. Girl Scouts who participate in the annual cookie sale are learning about goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. That’s a great start for their future careers! Copper Corners Service Unit appreciates the support of their friends and neighbors. Thank you for buying Girl Scout cookies! We would also like to thank Selena Henderson and Kathy Hawse, our service unit coordinators and all our troop cookie moms and dads for all their hard work! In February, Girl Scouts celebrated Thinking Day on February 22nd with activities to help us learn about the World Association of Girl Guides and Scouts. We learn about the World Centers and about Girl Guides and Scouts in other countries. February 22nd was the birthday of Lord Robert Baden Powell, founder of the Scouting organization and Lady Baden Powell and on this day we remember our Scouting history. March 12th will be the 101st birthday for Girl Scouting in the United States. Many of our Copper Corners Girl Scouts will be celebrating with birthday parties and special service projects. Girls may participate in special roles at their place of worship on Girl Scout Sunday or Girl Scout Sabbath.

Our leader/daughter weekend was a great get together. Leaders and their daughters made ice candles, went horseback riding and hiking and shopped in Wimberley. The t-shirts that were made at the event have been the envy of those who didn’t attend. This year’s Dutch oven cook-off had lots of entries and everyone enjoyed the results. All we can say about this year’s talent show is - you had to be there! Many thanks to Julie Mayer and her team for organizing the weekend! On March 2nd, Copper Corners Girls and their special guys will have a “Bella notte” at the “Me and My Guy” event. Plan to get dressed in your best for an exciting evening of fun, food, dancing, crafts and more - all with an Italian theme. A group of girls and adults from several troops paid a special visit to the Cypresswood Nursing and Rehabilitation facility on Feb. 9th. They assisted the residents in making “Valentine” Chinese lanterns and Valentine cards, decorated a Valentine mailbox and served cookies, brownies and other treats. Working and visiting together was a lot of fun and the results were really creative! We are already starting to make plans for a “Bridging event” this spring, as girls move on to new levels in Girl Scouting. As part of the bridging activities, older troops work with younger girls as they prepare to move on to the next level of Girl Scouting. Many of our troops will earn their special bridging patches in the process as they complete various activities. Girl Scouting is open to all girls aged 5 (must be in kindergarten) through 18, who are willing to live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Girls may join at any level and no previous Scouting experience is required. Copper Corners service unit serves girls in the residence areas for Birkes, Fiest and Lowery Elementary schools, Aragon and Labay Middle Schools and the corresponding high schools. Home schooled and private school students are always welcome. It is never too late to become a Girl Scout.

Cornerstone United Methodist Church “CHRIST IN THE PASSOVER”

What do the Jewish Passover and Jesus’ Last Supper have in common? A representative of Jews for Jesus will answer that question in a presentation called “Christ in the Passover” on Holy (Maundy) Thursday, March 28th at 7 PM at Cornerstone United Methodist Church. Using a visual display of traditional Passover accouterments, the “Christ in the Passover” presentation enhances the Christian’s understanding and appreciation of the Jewish background of the Christian Communion. Ancient and modern Jewish customs are discussed and described with an emphasis on the aspect of redemption, which Christ accomplished at Calvary.

Jews for Jesus has presented this demonstration in over five thousand churches. It was originally written in 1956 by Moishe Rosen, the founder and former executive director of Jews for Jesus. The presentation was abstracted from the writings of the late Rabbi Leopold Cohn, who came to faith in Jesus in 1894 and died in 1936.

St. Cuthbert is located at 17020 West Road, Houston (the northeast corner of West and Queenston). visit us at www.stcuthbert.org for more information.

A table is set with the traditional Jewish Passover items, including representative foods, which are explained, but not eaten. The ceremonial seder plate, the three-compartment pouch in which the matzo (unleavened bread) is kept, as well as the traditional cup of Elijah are presented and new insights to their christological significance are provided.

With any service. Available for most models. Not valid with any other offer. Expires 4/15/13.

• Palm Sunday, March 24th at 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM with Holy Eucharist and Liturgy of the Palms. • Maundy Thursday, March 28th at 7:00 PM with Holy Eucharist and Stripping of the Altar. • Good Friday, March 29th at 7:00 PM with Good Friday Liturgy. • Easter Sunday, March 31st at 8:00 AM with Holy Eucharist and at 10:30 AM with Holy Eucharist. Following the Easter Sunday 10:30 AM service, the church will sponsor an Easter Egg Hunt for all children.

7:30am-5:30pm 7:30am-5:00pm

Dr. Rosen contends that some of the most important elements of Christian doctrine, such as the Trinity, the principle of substitutionary atonement and salvation through a personal relationship with the Messiah, are implied in the Seder (Passover feast) as observed by Orthodox Jews even today. According to Dr. Rosen, “The Christ in the Passover presentation is one way Jews for Jesus can help churches appreciate the Jewish roots of the Christian faith.”

CORNERSTONE UMC HOLY WEEK WORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Holy Week represents the last week of Jesus’ life on earth, beginning with his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating with his glorious resurrection from the dead the following Sunday, Easter.

During this week, cornerstone United Methodist Church will be offering a variety of worship and fellowship opportunities at their West Road Campus at 18081 West Road (across from the CFISD Berry Center). The following is a list of the Holy Week worship opportunities for young and old alike presently planned at Cornerstone UMC. • PALM SUNDAY SERVICES (March 24th): At the 10:45 AM service, the children will lead a processional in worship waving palm branches as we remember and celebrate Jesus entry into Jerusalem.

The Journey Praise Band will lead an inspirational service at 9:30 AM with a special “Reader’s Theater” presentation. • MAUNDY THURSDAY COMMUNION SERVICE (March 28th): The word Maundy literally means “command,” reminding Christians that Jesus commanded his followers at the Last Supper to “do this in remembrance of me.” A representative from “Jews for Jesus” will be present a special program entitled, “Christ in the Passover.” The service will be held at 7 PM and will include the serving of Holy Communion. • GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE (March 29th): At 7 PM, we will gather to commemorate the crucifixion of our Lord with a blackening of the sanctuary. Special music for the service will be provided by the Chancel Choir accompanied by a Good Friday Drama. • EASTER MORNING WORSHIP SERVICES (March 31st): There will be several opportunities to worship the resurrection of our Lord.

Janet Clazzy is a musical original, having played in orchestras from coast to coast and often proclaimed to be “the female Kenny G.” “I have this fabulous instrument called the WX-5 Wind Machine, which gives me 250 sounds at my fingertips,” she touts. “We call the music clazzy - the spirit of classical with the soul of jazz - pop-minded.” Ms. Clazzy was also the founder of the Sumner Pops Orchestra and the first female conductor in the state of Tennessee.

Quilt Show, presented by West Houston Quilt Guild

The most important thing is that those who host students are doing so for the right reason; providing a loving experience and an exposure to American culture.

Cheers for 20 Years!

There are a few basic requirements, of course. Anyone older than 25 and can provide food and shelter for a student fulfills the requirements of being a host family.

Hosting a foreign exchange student is easier than you may think

During the 2012-2013 school year, students from all across the world will have the opportunity to travel to Houston and surrounding communities to spend the entire school year in the United States, learning and working with American Families.

There are not many strict requirements that need to be met to host a student.

Once the host families and students are matched, Ayusa stays involved by monthly contacts with the families, students and quarterly contacts with the schools. Ayusa coordinators also handle the host family orientations and the student orientations. Group activities, such as community service and seeing things with the group of exchange students is also arrange throughout their academic year. With the current school year quickly coming to an end Ayusa’s local staff is busy looking for families for students for the 2012-2013 school year. Many families are needed and with the schools having deadlines and limits for foreign exchange students the earlier the better. It also gives the families and students time to get to know each other via skype, facebook, etc. while waiting for their year abroad to start. Please contact Heather Wells by email ayusakaty@gmail.com or by phone 281-770-3414.

In order for the students to come to the U.S. they must have proper host families lined up. Now is a crucial time of year for the Ayusa program as local staff coordinators to find local host families for the upcoming school year.

GIVE AN HOUR™ NETWORK Provides Free Counseling to Troops and Families

Since September 11, 2001, 1.8 million troops have been deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Persian Gulf, with 17 percent of returning troops suffering traumatic brain injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder. Given the military culture’s emphasis on confidence, strength and bravery, many service members are reluctant to expose personal vulnerabilities to professional counselors. Give an Hour™ provides services that are separate from the military establishment, offering options to service members who might otherwise fail to seek or receive appropriate care. Give an Hour™ is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national network of mental health professionals providing free counseling services to returning troops and their families. Give an Hour™ offers services to veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and their family members. Family members are loosely defined to include married or unmarried partners, parents, siblings, aunts/ uncles—anyone connected to the veteran who is suffering a psychological effect related to the veteran’s service. Banyan Counseling Network has an office located near the North Cypress Medical Center and is trained to provide individual and family counseling. Family support groups are also currently forming. People interested in receiving services through Give an Hour™ are encouraged to call 281-855-1982 or log on to www.banyancounseling.com, (click Military Families link) or www.giveanhour. org to determine availability or to locate another provider in your area.

LA LECHE LEAGUE BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT GROUP

6830 N. Eldridge Pkwy #113

La Leche League is an international nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed. Breastfeeding is a simple and natural process, but you may need support and information on the correct positioning of the baby at the breast, working and breastfeeding, avoiding problems and overcoming any difficulties that may occur. Knowing other women who have breastfed their babies can be helpful and reassuring. Having accurate, upto-date information is also important. Attending La Leche League meetings can help you learn about breastfeeding from other nursing mothers. At these monthly meetings, mothers share not only their questions and concerns but also the benefits and joys of breastfeeding. Being in touch with La Leche League can give you the network of support you need. There are numerous meeting locations all over the Houston area. The CyFair group meets on the second Tuesday of the month, at 10:00 AM, in the Berkshire Community Meeting Room, 15607 Berkshire Manor Ln. Babies are welcome! The Group offers an extensive lending library of books, free information and materials for sale.

MOTHERS OF YOUNG CHILDREN (MYC)

POOLS, HARDSCAPES & LANDSCAPES

The moment a newborn baby wraps their tiny hand around a parent’s finger is a pivotal moment in the life of any parent. The baby not only tugs on the finger, but on the parent’s heart as well. It is in that awesome moment that the parent begins to understand the unconditional and abounding love that God has for each of us. But soon after the little miracle arrives so do all the questions and sometimes, without any clear answers.
