NEWS FROM THE RESIDENT HOA BOARD MEMBER HI WESTGATERS!

As the summer comes to a close, I want to thank the pool committee and other volunteers that saved Westgate residents between $5,000 and $6,000 dollars by volunteering their time to pass out pool tags. We had between 500 and 600 households that picked up their pool tags during the free pool tag registration period. Otherwise, it’s $10 for the two pool tags allowed per household. Thanks to everyone who volunteered and it was fun to visit with you! Kent McGaughy, Jay and Penny Zaffino, Elizabeth Olson, Manny Padilla, Denia Rivera, Clyde Kriekenbeek, David Hsu, Linda Matos, Nia Broadway, Kristey Bohannon, Lillian Wanjagi, Patricia Freiman and Leslie Noyola. I hope I got everyone!

I would like to thank the many volunteers who pitched in this year to create a fabulous July 4th Parade and Picnic event for Westgate families in no particular order: Kent McGaughy, Jay and Penny Zaffino, Kristey Bohannon and family, Nicole Gerrard and family, Clyde and Maed Kriekenbeek, Helen Daglas, Neil Staley, Bill and Dawn Friend with their daughter, Robert and Dora Gonzalez, Jorge and Gloria Arizpe, Tony Rue and his snake expert, Marcus Rivera, Theo Taoushiani, Lillian Wanjagi and several others who volunteered on the spot when needed during the parade and picnic. We have photos available on Westgate’s Facebook group page. www. facebook.com/groups/WestgateSubdivision. Yea! The firetruck showed up on time this year. Thanks to the CyFair Volunteer Fire Department, Station 8 for coming and leading us on the parade with the American Flag perched proudly on the front. And then staying and talking to residents. We appreciate your time and dedication! As far as the parade contests, no vehicles were decorated this year. However, the kids really got into making their hats and decorating their bikes! We had five top costumes and five top bikes and scooters. We even had baby strollers and dogs stroll along with the parade. Lots of flags and red, white and blue! Westgate did the USA proud! And I want to take the time to thank several who donated great prizes this year: Bill Friend donated two photography sittings with up to four people each from his photography studio Baby’s & Bellies: a value of $375 each! Jessica McKenney of Fireworks Cheaper donated two giant packs of fireworks! Kerilyn Scoville arranged for a great basket with a kid’s Sonicare and games from Eagle Ranch Dental Care and Orthodontic and Dr. Cameron Wallace. We appreciate your support! We also purchase prizes for the other contests and games. It was a great day for the Old-Fashioned Town Picnic, as it was about 7-10 degrees cooler than the previous week. We had a giant bouncy house slip-n-slide that poured water on the kids as they went through the tunnel; just what they needed on a July day! The little kids seemed to really enjoy the trackless train as it went around the park. It was even in the parade! Tony Rue brought in a snake expert, which garnered a lot of attention. People lined up for slices of watermelon, Pop Ice and cups of lemonade, just like a traditional picnic. We had the traditional games, too: the kids flocked to the multiple sack and three-legged races and the waterballoon toss was fantastic! The concentration on the kids’ faces during the watermelon seedspitting contests was priceless. When those were finished, the adults wanted to try; I think they got into it even more than the kids did! Send in your ideas for next year’s event to wgsocialcommittee@ yahoo.com. The social committee’s next event is the Halloween Party; we’ll also be helping the Crime Watch committee with the National Night Out event in October. We’ll be having a meeting on September 4th to help plan those. The more volunteers we have, the better the events. And it’s more fun! Email wgsocialcommittee@ yahoo.com to be included! Several other important issues: • Be looking for announcement of our next Residents’ Meeting with the HOA Board Member in September on our website (www. westgatetx.com), Westgate’s Facebook page and on NextDoor.com and by email from westgatehoa@yahoo.com. • We called the company who applied anti-graffiti stain to the gazebo to correct a problem with the floor at no cost to Westgate. • We are adding trash cans to the main park, a couple of benches in the new park area that connects Westgate Park Dr. to section 14 and we are discussing places to add dog waste containers to discourage leaving pet waste behind while walking our pets. • By now we will have begun our projects to maintain our wood and

metal fences with staining and painting. Fences close to the main thoroughfares will be repaired and stained. • As a response to notes from residents, I’d like to highlight some pool rules to remember: 1. Wear proper swimwear, not every day clothes: some materials help clog the filter. 2. No Foul language. 3. No Rowdiness or rough play. 4. No alcohol or glass containers allowed. 5. No smoking allowed. 6. All children should be out of the pool during adult swim, except in the wading pool (not behind the rope in the main pool). Even in the wading pool, they should be within reach of an adult. 7. People bringing kids to the pool MUST be 18 or older. Children 1217 must pass a swim test to swim without a guardian, but still cannot bring other kids to the pool without an adult. 8. Lifeguards have the ultimate authority; follow their instructions. Failure to do so may result in suspension of your pool privileges. We want to keep our pool family-friendly. The pool committee chairs and I have been talking with the pool management company and we are all working to make sure that safety issues are addressed. If you have questions or see issues that need to be addressed, email wgparkspools@gmail.com. Thank you so much for the wonderful job in maintaining your homes’ appearances. Homes have been selling well in Westgate, thanks to efforts of our residents and community. Sincerely, Kimberly McGaughy Westgate HOA Board Member

THIEVES STRIKE AT 3 AM IN WESTGATE

Even though Westgate is known to the Sheriff’s Dept. to be a quiet and safe neighborhood, we are not immune to crime. On July 2nd, at about 3:19 AM, three teens were caught on security camera opening a resident’s car and stealing his iPhone car charger. They were on bicycles. The resident reported the incident to the police and they are running prints on the car. Please be sure to lock your car doors and keep all valuables out of sight. Make it more difficult for the thieves and they are more likely to move on. All neighborhoods are victims of crimes of opportunity.

LOST PETS IN WESTGATE

We’ve had many reports of lost animals in Westgate on our Facebook page, several of which were found and returned home by residents. Others found animals, but not their owners. Please make sure your pet has tags with an address and contact number so they can be returned home quickly if lost. Many times collars come off or the pet escapes during a bath in the yard; to prepare for that, get your pet microchipped. If you find a lost pet, take them to a vet to see if they have a microchip. It’s been heartbreaking this summer to see all the lost pets that don’t find their homes. Shelters are especially busy during the July 4th period. Euthanasia happens too frequently. Don’t let that happen to your pet. Microchipping is easy and inexpensive, with great rewards and peace of mind.

AUGUST YARD OF THE MONTH WINNER 7502 PARKCROSS PLACE

Yard of the Month will be given out April through September. Spruce up your yard for bragging rights and a gift card to Ace Hardware!

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS

Every May, many of us take steps to prepare our families and our business for the seasonal threats posed by hurricanes and other inclement weather. If you live in a coastal county, (Harris County is classified as a coastal county) you are encouraged to prepare a basic emergency kit to provide essential needs when the risk posed by hurricanes threatens the availability of those needs. To begin your preparations, visit the link below or assemble your own kit with the following considerations: • What is your plan for surviving a severe weather event? Does it include meeting locations/alternate locations, insurance information, phone numbers and a basic needs kit for 3 days? • Where is your alternate shelter located pre, during and post evacuation? • Do you have enough water for each family member to hydrate regularly, wash clothes and dishes or meet your hygienic needs? • Do you able to provide food, fuel, fire for your family assuming no stores are open? • Do you have a first aid kit, with medications and are you properly trained to administer aid? www.nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/ready.php\ FEMA Private Sector Resilience Tip 6/3/13: Help your business prepare for severe weather like hurricanes with weather alerts, social media tips and tools. http://go.usa.gov/bWbR.

With the outlook for storms and hurricanes on the rise this year, individuals should consider every facet when planning for an emergency including food storage. All living things must eat to stay healthy, so you may think that the foods you store must be of the highest nutritional content. While nutrition is very important, it is not the single most important thing to be concerned about when storing food. Your food storage program must be designed to sustain life. Here are a few suggestions for keeping life in your food storage program:

Many residents took advantage of the PrePayment Coupon Plan that we began in 2012, for the payment of 2013 dues. It was an excellent way to spread out the cost over four months. Now I’d like to encourage residents to take advantage of prepaying over most of this year for next year’s dues, so you don’t have to be burdened by one big payment at the end of the year; some residents have been doing this for a few years. You can arrange for automatic withdrawals from your checking account each month at www.vanmor.com, VanMor’s website. You can pay in installments online by accessing VanMor’s website, type in “Westgate,” select autopay (not “make a payment”) and set it up with a checking account for only a $2 fee/payment; this is for prepaying next year’s dues. At the Annual Meeting in March, Lynette Rink of VanMor also commented that partial checks for PREPAYMENT OF DUES are accepted before the final due date.

WESTGATE’S NEW PET DIRECTORY

Thank you to A.J. Hutchinson for getting us started on a great new idea for Westgate - the Westgate Pet Directory on our Westgate Subdivision Facebook group page. In an effort to reunite lost pets with their owners, upload your pet’s photo. In the event your pet ever gets loose, they can be identified in this photo album and returned to you via the contact info you provide as a description or comment on the photo. Any group member can click on each photo to see that individual pet’s home contact info. For any Westgate group member that wants to add a picture to the directory, please follow these directions (Cannot be done from a phone): 1. Click on tab that says “photos” at the top of page next to the tab that reads events. 2. Select the album that says Westgate Pet Directory. 3. Select “add photo” in the top right hand corner and browse for the photo on your computer. 4. When you add the photo, you can add the contact info as a description or as a comment. Thanks everyone for helping with this and posting your pets we are hoping this helps with finding the homes when our loved ones get out on the loose. When looking for the info., click on an individual photo.

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: This month, because we’ve had so many loose dogs, we are highlighting the COUNTY LEASH LAW that can carry some stiff penalties. Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person, which could result in the person getting hurt trying to avoid the animal. Also, your pet escaping your yard is a heartbreaking situation for your family and your pet. Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances: 1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access to sidewalk or street.” While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it is against the law unless the animal is restrained properly. If you dog repeatedly escapes from your backyard, be responsible to your pet, your neighbors and yourself by taking steps to prevent it from happening. When dogs or cats are stray, the animal control officer has the discretion to: 1. impound the animal and/or 2. cite the custodian of the animal to appear in a justice of the peace court to answer charges of violation of these Regulations; Let’s all help keep Westgate a safe and comfortable place for all our residents by being responsible for our pets. The residents will be safer and the pet owner can avoid being held legally responsible or being sued for failing to properly restrain their pet and injuring someone. To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained please contact: Harris County Sheriff NonEmergency Dispatch: 713-221-6000 Harris County Animal Control: 281-999-3191 Harris County Health Department, Rabies/Animal Control Section 2223 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027-3588 www.hcphes.org/vph

WESTGATE COMMITTEE CORNER

CRIME WATCH COMMITTEE: Hello Westgaters, First: FEMA Private Sector Tip of the Week: Prepare for wildfires by removing dried brush near the office, trim tree branches and add several evacuation routes to your emergency plans. http://go.usa. gov/bSc5. I hope this message reaches each of you in the highest of spirits on this fine summer evening. Great news to report prior to our August 6th Crime Watch Mtg (at the time of publication). All NNO 2013 party favors have arrived. Free stuff includes the following: • String style back packs • Tattoos for tikes • Children’s activity kits • Child ID kits sponsored by the FBI • Tee shirts • Frisbees • Block Captains Handbooks (Issued based on records) • and many more prizes that will be awarded during NNO on October 1st, 2013 in the big park!!!! A tremendous amount of resources have been committed to ensure success with emphasis on free to encourage attendance. I will also be asking several committees for food support to again encourage attendance (+ food makes everything better). Your input is valued and would be greatly appreciated in providing ideas and activities. Thus far I have proposed the following: • Flashlight walk (symbolic gesture of unity against criminals) Simply walk home from the event and keep your flashlight or lantern on the entire time. Teams are always encouraged. • Spot the burglar (fun game for all which helps build your observational skills) - Need volunteer burglars w/costumes. Remember..kids are participating too so make it fun not scary. • Announcing ‘Project 365’ - Vote on a community improvement initiative to create a noticeable change in crime prevention/deterrence within a certain area of the community. Ideas: Graffitti proof paint for parks, free curb painting, lighting improvements, better access

100 CLUB FUNDS ENDOWMENT FOR TERRY TAYLOR

Six months ago the Taylor familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world was turned upside down with the sudden loss of Terry Taylor. Leaving behind a wife, two children and a nearly one-year-old grandson, Terry was killed while helping a police officer in the parking lot of the Bellaire-area Maaco Collision Repair he owned for 21 years... on Christmas Eve. Â Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selfless act will be honored by a $50,000 endowment that will give a $5,000 scholarship in perpetuity to a Cy-Fair ISD student who wishes to pursue a criminal justice degree. Board members of the 100 Club, a non-profit organization that gives financial aid to families of those in law enforcement and fire fighters who are killed or catastrophically injured in the line of duty, voted unanimously to make this gift to the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terry was a citizen who went above and beyondÂ the call of duty to help an officer in need,â&#x20AC;? said Rick Hartley, Executive Director of the 100 Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a small way we can say thank you to Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family.â&#x20AC;? Â The Taylor family was first offered financial assistance by the 100 Club but Kevin, Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son who owns another Maaco Collision Repair in the Cy-Fair area, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel right about accepting the offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to give back to the community instead.â&#x20AC;?Â Â A 27-year military officer veteran, Lieutenant Colonel Terry Taylor was honored in February by the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation at the annual Salute to Heroes event. Impressed by positive impact the organization is making in the lives of community students, Kevin had already started to visit with the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation about making a contribution for someone in need when he was approached by the 100 Club with their generous gift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad believed strongly in the importance of a solid education. My sister is an engineer in St. Louis and my father and I both earned master degrees,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to help someone attend school who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t otherwise be able to afford it.â&#x20AC;?

The Taylor family moved to the Cy-Fair community in the 1970s from Kentucky. “My mom still lives in the same house I grew up in,” said Kevin. Terry was a quiet man who worked hard but also enjoyed camping and fishing. “He was an old-school military guy who always helped someone when they needed it,” said Kevin. “He never drank alcohol or smoked a day in his life and loved walking every night with his dogs,” said Kevin. On Christmas Eve morning, with his wife Judy by his side and plans to close up early to celebrate the holiday, Terry saw an officer having trouble apprehending a criminal after a car chase ended in the parking lot of his shop. Both Bellaire Police Department Sergeant Jimmie Norman and Terry Taylor were allegedly shot and killed by the criminal who is awaiting trial for the murders. Kevin’s son turned one on the day of Terry’s funeral. “My son will never get to know his grandfather. My father didn’t get a chance to know his only grandson,” said Kevin. “We are trying to make sense of what happened and why. We know that bad things happen to good people and that we are living God’s plan so there is a reason, a purpose... I feel like this scholarship is one positive thing that will come out of this,” he said.

BUS BUDDIES, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2013 - 2014 SCHOOL YEAR

Bus Buddies is a partnership between the Cy-Fair community and Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District to provide assistance to elementary students helping them get off the bus at the correct location. The program requires one “Bus Buddy” per elementary bus the first three days of school. The approximate time commitment is from 2:45 PM - 4:45 PM on August 26th, 27th and 28th. You may choose to volunteer one, two or all three days. Your job is to simply assist the bus driver with making sure the children get off the bus at their correct stops.

As Superintendent, Dr. Mark Henry, says, “each volunteer plays a very key role in the lives our students and staff and it has not gone unnoticed.

Girl Scouts GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL COPPER CREEK MEADOWS THE COMMUNITY IS BIGGER NOW!

You do not need to be Ranger Rick or Martha Stewart (though you may find yourself developing unexpected talents). Don’t feel that you could make the commitment to be a troop leader? Do you have a special skill that you would be willing to share or a willingness to help on a limited basis? Please give us a call - we’d like to talk to you! A special event may need YOUR particular talent or skill! Please contact Dianne Massie (dianne.massie@att.net) or call 281-5509148. The council website is www.gssjc.org.

Due to the administrative changes in San Jacinto Council, we have moved away from our service unit structure. The Copper Creek Meadows community has been created by merging the former Bear Creek, Copper Corners and Blue Bonnet Meadows service units. A team drawn from members of each of the three service units has been at work for several months during this transition process to create the structure for our new community. Membership is drawn from fourteen elementary schools and the corresponding middle and high schools. The elementary schools served are: Lieder, Metcalf, Wilson, Tipps and Texas Christian School; Birkes, Fiest and Lowery; Horne, Owens, Hairgrove, Kirk, Lee, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and Christian Life Center Academy. The plan is that more people and more resources mean more activities and more fun for all of us! You can read more about these changes in the Golden Link or on the Council website, www.gssjc.org.

Boy Scouts BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA 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, selfconfidence, ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.

An open planning meeting was held on July 14th. Rally Days (when we recruit new members and leaders and form new troops) will be scheduled after schools are back in session. Look for more information soon!

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.

Girl Scouting is open to all girls ages 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. Home schooled and private school students are always welcome.

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.

We also need adult (over 18) leaders for our troops. We can’t form new troops without new leaders! You need a background check and a little training to get started, but lots more training is available. Our leaders are of all ages, both sexes and a wide range of interests.

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

August 2013

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.

An Eagle Scout service project is the opportunity for a Boy Scout to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of any religious institution, school or community. This is the culmination of the Eagle Scout candidate’s leadership training and it requires a significant effort on his part. The Scout must develop a project plan, coordinate fundraising to provide the necessary materials, schedule the work organize the personnel needed and give leadership to others in order to direct the project to its completion. Jacob, 15, is a Boy Scout with Troop 1283 based out of St. Elizabeth Ann-Seton Church in Houston. He has worked his way through the ranks from a young Cub Scout to the final rank in Boy Scouts, going above and beyond the requirements and, is now awaiting his Eagle board-of-review to become an Eagle Scout (the highest rank a Boy Scout can achieve). We would like to thank Jacob, all of his volunteers and the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for their efforts and a job well done. The benefits of providing your service to the needs of our local wildlife and to this community are greatly appreciated.

The summer has started off as an action-packed and adventurous time for the organization. At our Bridging Ceremony on June 2nd, we promoted Tiger Cubs to Wolves, Wolves to Bears and Bears to Webelos and wrapped up an extremely successful year for Pack 1445. Next, we had 12 Scouts attend the District Day Camp, earning numerous achievements towards their new rank and learning a variety of new skills. The Scouts had a great time with activities like Archery and BB gun shooting; Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee and working on craftsman activities including building a TV tray table. On the 4th of July, several of our Scouts participated in the Southdown parade and one of our leaders carried the flag through the parade. The boys had a terrific time. If you are interested in joining Pack 1445, please keep an eye out for our Fall Rally night coming to Lowery Cafeteria in September. We look forward to seeing you there!

MILDRED’S UMBRELLA THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES ITS 2013-2014 SEASON!

FOXFINDER by Dawn King. US Amateur Premier - August 15-31, 2013. Finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn award. William Bloor, a “foxfinder,” arrives at Sam and Judith Covey’s farm to investigate a suspected contamination. He is driven by his education and beliefs to unearth and destroy an animal that threatens man’s civilization and to remain free from its influence himself. As his investigations proceed, the events that follow change the course of all their lives - forever. Dawn King’s play won the 2011 Papatango New Writing Competition (in partnership with London’s Finborough Theatre). A darkly comic exploration of belief, desire and responsibility, set in a world both strange and familiar, from a striking new voice in British theatre. CARNIVAL ROUND THE CENTRAL FIGURE by Diana Amsterdam. Regional Premier - November 7-23, 2013. A wild ride through theatrical terrain that sears the senses and impacts the audience at a visceral place, which also manages to be hilariously funny and heartbreakingly real in the five core scenes of a young woman’s visit to the death bed of her friend. Her moment of acknowledgment and comfort comes hard in the face of denial, moralizing, insane positive thinking, desperate chit chat and the existential fears we all harbor about the end moments of life - the great mystery. MUSEUM OF DYSFUNCTION IV - December 6-14, 2013. Short plays from 200 writers who submitted from all over the US and were chosen by a panel. Co-produced by Wordsmyth Theatre. ROME by John Harvey - World Premier - March 6-22, 2014. This original script is being written by local playwright, John Harvey, workshopped by designers, musicians and actors, video documented

‘BEGINNING WITH BEETHOVEN’ TAKES HOLD OF HOUSTON

‘Beginning with Beethoven,’ the premier of the Transformation Trilogy concert series produced by local arts ensemble the Houston New Arts Movement (HNAM), stunned a packed house as it came to life on the stage at Dowling Music. Some of Ludwig van Beethoven’s most ambitious works were resurrected including the incomparable “Ghost Trio,” performed by HNAM members Adam Vincent Clay, Cony Ruiz Tamez and Laura Cividino. “Throughout his compositions, Ludwig van Beethoven took the form that predated him and transformed it,” said HNAM founder and pianist Adam Vincent Clay. “He composed with more personal and emotional intensity in his music, the beginning of a major transformation of the history of music composition. With these concerts, we are taking the audience on a journey through a range of emotions. Beethoven’s musical style changed much as he did, moving through the structures of the classical and romantic era and ultimately the heavy dissonance of his later works, even foreshadowing the compositional language of the twentieth century.”

‘The Transformation Trilogy’ continues with an additional ‘Beginning with Beethoven’ performance sponsored by and held at St. Cyril of Alexandria Church (10503 Westheimer Rd. Houston, TX 77042), August 17th, Saturday at 7 PM. Each of the upcoming concerts showcases the music of another transformative composer. The next in the series will reveal the powerful works of Dmitri Shostakovich

DECIBELLES (A BARBERSHOP CHORUS)

Do you like to sing? Are you looking for a place to display your talents or just to have fun with music? You should be a Decibelle! We are a (ladies only) daytime chorus rehearsing every Friday morning from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM at the Treemont Retirement Center, 2501 Westerland, near Westheimer and Gessner. Some of us read music, but it is not required. We are provided a CD to help in learning new songs. Our director, Martha Upton and assistant director, Cay Eckland will help you find out if you are a Tenor, Lead, Baritone or Bass. We have been performing in the Houston area for over 35 years. We prepare two types of shows each year; a Christmas show with old favorites, but always a new fun tune including props, narratives and choreography. Our regular show this year includes songs from the 1920s, as well as a Spiritual Medley that will start your toes tapping. Come visit any Friday. We would love to see you and if you decide to join us, we would be delighted. For more information, please call Pat at 281-497-4904 or visit our website, www.Decibelles.org.

HOSTING A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT IS EASIER THAN YOU MAY THINK

During the 2013-2014 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. 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. The Ayusa program is celebrating its 30th year this year and is responsible for more than 60,000 students from 75 different countries spending the school year in the United States. There are not many strict requirements that need to be met to host a student. 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. 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. There is a background check, reference check and an interview. Background checks have to be done on everyone over 18 living in the home. The host families have to be interested in it for the right reasons, the cultural exchange of learning from them and them learning from us. It’s the language, the cooking, the music, the food. The host family has to be genuinely interested. 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 2013-2014 school year. Many families are needed and with the schools having deadlines and limits for foreign exchange students the earlier the better. I t 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.

EXCHANGE STUDENTS FROM AMERICAN COUNCILS

The U.S. Department of State sponsors exchange programs that bring high school students from over 50 countries from all over the world in the United State for an academic year to live with an American host family, attend high school and learn about American society. American Councils is always looking for interested and excited host families to host one of their students. For more information, visit http:// inbound.americancouncils.org or email inbound@americancouncils. org. You can also contact Assia Baburi by email: assia.baburi@hccs.edu or by phone at 713-856-5020.

Copperfield Church is pleased to announce bestselling author and speaker, Don Piper, as its special guest on Thursday, August 22nd, at 7:30 PM. Doors open at 7:00 PM and admission to the event is FREE!! On the way home from a church conference in 1989, Don Piper’s Ford Escort was struck head-on by an 18-wheeler, He was killed instantly - pronounced dead by four sets of paramedics. But God worked a miracle and sent Don back to a broken body. To date, 34 surgical procedures have taken place. He walks only as a result of miraculous and in some cases medically unexplainable circumstances. During the time he was dead, Piper was granted the extreme privilege of glimpsing Heaven itself. Ninety minutes after dying, Don Piper came back to life where he faced a long and grueling recovery. Don travels across the country and around the world sharing his amazing story of hope and healing. His message is simple... We can have a better life now and an eternal life someday through faith in Jesus Christ! Don has appeared and shared his miraculous story in numerous nationalmedia outlets, including Fox News, CBN, “The Today Show” on NBC and Newsweek.

LADIES BIBLE STUDY ON JONAH

Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted video study by Priscilla Shirer Interruptions. They’re aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. They make us want to tell people what we think of them. But how we handle interruptions actually tell us more about ourselves. The prophet Jonah’s existence was interrupted by a call of God that would require a complete change of life. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session video Bible study, Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. Come join us every Tuesday morning at 9:30 AM beginning Oct. 22, 2013 at Christ Covenant Church, 17000 Longenbaugh, Houston, TX 77095. Registration begins Sept. 24 - Oct 15, 2013.

HELP WANTED

Teacher needed for a Christian Preschool. Our hours are Monday - Thursday

August 2013

“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 August. 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.
