ALPHA CHARITY LEAGUE COPPERFIELD CHAPTER PARTICIPATES IN NATIONAL LEMONADE DAY Alpha Charity League is mother/son organization for young men in middle school and high school who are committed to community service, becoming leaders and developing closer relationships with their peers and their mothers. The Copperfield chapter members were enthusiastic to support a city-wide effort in May, Lemonade Day, that supports a variety of Houston centered charities. National Lemonade Day is a fun learning program that teaches today’s youth to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs through operating lemonade stands throughout the nation. A successful stand requires group planning meetings to set goals, budgets, stand locations, recipes, marketing ideas and to select charities to make donations to. ACL took part in the National event and set up numerous lemonade stands all around the Houston area raising over $10,000. The ACL Copperfield chapter set up 3 lemonade stands in the Copperfield/Cypress area and alone raised $1,600 to donate to 10 different charities. On June 11th, the Copperfield Chapter presented Habitat for Humanity with a $489 donation. The balance of funds raised were distributed to other Houston-based charities. This could not have been done without the help of our location sponsors Walgreens, Wal-Mart and Ace Hardware. The boys from Copperfield made donations to the following charities: Texas Children’s Hospital, Citizens for Animal Protection, Houston’s Children’s Charity, Brighter Days Horse Refuge in San Antonio, Spring Spirit Baseball Program, Camp for All, Chris Saiz- Point the Way Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Alpha Charity League and National Lemonade Day. Not only did the young men enjoy raising money for many good causes, but they also enjoyed a nice cool glass of lemonade whenever the scorching Houston heat decided to give them a good sweat. The young men would surely agree that the hard work put into making posters, perfecting the lemonade recipe, doing the heavy table lifting and standing under the sun, taught them the valuable lesson of hard work and the good feeling of giving back to our community.

We reach out with hands-on community service projects addressing such issues as domestic violence, human trafficking, childhood literacy and Houston’s hungry, as well as advocacy on related local, state and federal issues. NCJW members are in the trenches working to change lives every day. NCJW welcomed new members at Pictures Plus Gallery. The event was organized by Marcia Pappert, Sharon Rance, Linda Caplan, Joyce Greenfield and Barbara Mandelstein. After presentations by each Branch leader, Governing Board Chair Joy Friedman introduced Shawna Murland of Pictures Plus. She described the works of Allan Rosenfield, whose unique work features large scale, multi-sided works on canvas that can be rearranged into many configurations. Joseph’s Coat is part of the permanent collection at Congregation Emanu El’s art gallery. The artist has said: “Each painting has its own way of telling me what it wants to be as it develops.” His fascinating approach also explains why NCJW members perform Tikun Olam service helping others to expand their educational horizons, reverse their socio-economic situations and conquer their current adversity in order to move in life. They know that it is a group of Jewish women who help them. That makes us feel good!
THUNDERBRID COMPOSITE SQUADRON CIVIL AIR PATROL GETS A NEW HOME
The Thunderbird Composite Squadron Civil Air Patrol has transferred their program to a new home located at Bear Creek Community Center. The CAP Program previously met at the West Houston Airport. This arrangement is a win for our organization. As we have been able to expand our program with a larger meeting area and more access to the public eye. BCCC has welcomed the unit with open arms and this has been a great partnership for the West Houston Community. The local CAP program has two areas; one is for youth ages 12 through 21 and a senior program for those over 18 years of age. Both are very active and support different missions and roles throughout the Squadron. The Cadet program provides youth with a safe, encouraging environment in which to learn, mature and explore opportunities to help them reach their potential as adults. The Senior program gives adults a chance to mentor youth and support the cadet program and/or to be part of the emergency services and operations missions. . Cadets participate in a structured program through group and individual activities that include aerospace education, physical training, leadership and moral and ethical values. Seniors help support more than 90 percent of all inland air search and rescue that are tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC). Seniors can take flight in air crew which includes mission pilots, mission observers, mission scanners, airborne photographers. There is also opportunity for cadets and seniors to be part of ground crew, which includes: mission staff assistant, mission radio operator and ground team members and leaders. Thunderbird is actively recruiting for cadets and seniors from all walks of life. We need doctors, nurses, technical operators, computer programmers and IT, accountants, attorneys, public relations and many more! We have a place for YOU to serve! Connections

14TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CHARITY LEAGUE, INC.,
CYPRESS BELLES CHAPTER “SCAVENGER HUNT FOR FOOD”
The 14th Annual National Charity League, Inc., Cypress Belles Chapter “Scavenger Hunt for Food,” held in Coles Crossing on Sunday, October 27th, was a HUGE success. NCL, Inc. is a mother daughter organization that supports many philanthropies in our area. Our girls ages range from 7th to 12th grade and they work closely together as classes. Our goal was to restock the pantry of Cypress Assistance Ministries before Thanksgiving with non-perishable items such as boxed potatoes, stuffing, macaroni and cheese and cake mix - as well as much needed toiletry items such as deodorant, toothpaste and shampoo and conditioner. We collected 241 bottles of shampoo and conditioner alone. December 2013

Doug and Donna Kurz of the Kurz “Good Bread” Company generously provided the bread delivery truck which served as transport for all the donations, as well as fresh baked buns for the Cypress Belles picnic lunch. The mothers and daughters of the Cypress Belles chapter of NCL, Inc. are extremely grateful for the outpouring of support from the residents of Coles Crossing. Together, we were able to provide CAM with a total of 4, 474 items for the holidays. We are currently gearing up for other projects that support both Boys and Girls Country and TEAM (Tomball Assistance Ministries) for the holidays. For Boys and Girls Country, each class will be given a cottage with 8 girls living in it and will shop and provide gift cards for each girl in that cottage. The girls shop, wrap and deliver the gifts to Boys and Girls Country. There are 11 cottages at Boys and Girls Country and 8 children in each cottage. We feel blessed to support this organization. We recently provided cookies for Tour De Donut Bike Ride in which 750 riders participated and all proceeds went to Boys and Girls Country. For TEAM each of our classes will be assigned a family in need. As a class, our girls shop for the family from a list provided to us. Each of their gifts are also wrapped and delivered. Earlier this year the Cypress Belles collected donations of back packs and Walmart gift cards to kick off back to school items needed by TEAM.
HARRIS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT GOES LIVE!
Harris County began live streaming meetings of Harris County Commissioners Court to the public in November, a step designed to make county government even more accessible to the public it serves. Anyone with access to the Internet can log on to www.harriscountytx.gov/CourtVideo. aspx and watch entire scheduled court meetings from the perspective of cameras mounted around the Commissioners Court courtroom.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School “Living, Loving, and Learning in Christ and the Church.”
Links to the live streaming also will be posted on Harris County’s main website - www.harriscountytx.gov - under the “Court Agenda” heading. Harris County Judge Ed Emmett also intends to include a direct link to the live streaming from his website, www.judgeemmett.org. Members of Commissioners Court unanimously approved a proposal this summer to begin making its meetings available to the public by Internet as soon as possible. Officials with the county’s Information Technology Center then set to work implementing the policy and were able to complete the process quickly. The result is a more open and transparent Harris County government and a valuable research tool in having archived court meetings.

THE RIGHT WAY TO GIVE • Give with a cheerful heart. • Give within your means. An expensive gift doesn’t mean it’s the best. • Giving comes from your heart, not from the wallet. • Some gifts are priceless... love, time, effort, encouragement, prayer, etc. • Observe the needs and wants of the person you’re giving to. Consider his/her hobbies, lifestyle and what he/she wears. • Be creative, imaginative and crazy. • Shop for gifts early to avoid last-minute frantic rush.

in his family graduated from college, even though his parents made a meager living as custodians. Pham talks about viewing circumstances as opportunities. The ninth grade PACE classes sat engrossed throughout his presentation and asked lots of questions afterwards. One student commented, “This was exactly what I needed!”
CY-LAKES SHOWS ITS BIG HEART, AGAIN!
CY-LAKES AP SHARES STORY OF THE AMERICAN DREAM WITH PACE CLASSES
Recently, Cy-Lakes Assistant Principal Hoang Pham shared his story of achieving the American Dream with ninth grade PACE classes. Beginning with his birth in Viet Nam, Mr. Pham relived the journey to America when his family escaped from Viet Nam in 1975 during the war. Using photographs in his Power Point presentation, Pham brought his journey to life for the ninth grade audience.
CY-LAKES DIANA LOPEZ NAMED STUDENT OF THE WEEK
Among the many interesting stories he told, Pham spoke of how his family, consisting of two parents and ten children, split up as they escaped Viet Nam. After experiencing many remarkable events while traveling on boats at sea, including surviving on powdered milk and water for a period of time, Pham’s family eventually made it to America where they got an American family sponsor, which helped them settle in Port Arthur, Texas.
Cypress Lakes High School senior Diana Lopez was named student of the week and featured on the CFISD website during the month of November. Lopez has won numerous awards and accolades throughout her years in high school. Recently, she was selected by The Center for Hearing and Speech (CHS) to participate in the seventh annual Via Colori street painting festival, joining nine fellow emerging high school artists in the Via Apprendista section, creating a 6-foot by 6-foot street art mural.
One of the messages Pham drives home to students is that education is important to their futures. Eight of the ten children

orable mention for her art and writing. She has also been a Scholastic Writing American Voices Award Nominee and a Recognized Hispanic National Scholar. When asked about her passion and what inspires her, Lopez says, “I am passionate about languages; politics; social issues regarding race, gender and class; animals, literature and art. My inspiration spawns from different cultures and languages.” She hopes to attend the University of Texas at Austin and travel the world.
Cy-Lakes staff and students have shown their big hearts in a big way, again! Each year the school focuses on raising money for the annual Heart Walk to fight heart disease. This year the goal was $3,500. Principal Sarah Harty encouraged students and staff to donate, pointing out that if everyone just donated $1 each, the goal could be met. However, with the dedication of the PALS class, clubs, students and staff, Cy-Lakes raised $5,117.12, well above the goal that was set. As donations poured in, neon hearts were given out to donors. Each year, those donating money to the Heart Walk at Cy-Lakes receive a neon heart sticker to wear. For the past five years, Central Tape and Label has donated the neon hearts to Cy-Lakes High School. It is the combination of all these efforts that has resulted in CyLakes donating over $15,000 to heart research over the past years.

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ?

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 December.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING SAFETY!
We’re going to be out and about and this means our focus and attention are compromised. Be sure to put safety as your #1 wish item on your holiday shopping list. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind: • Do not buy more than you can carry. • Save all receipts. • Wait until asked before taking out your credit card or checkbook. • Tell a security guard or store employee if you see an unattended bag or package. • Carry your purse close to your body or your wallet inside a coat or front trouser pocket. • Have your keys in hand when approaching your vehicle. Check the back seat and around the car before getting in. • Do not leave packages visible in your car windows. Lock them in the trunk or if possible, take them directly home. • If you are shopping with children, make a plan in case you are separated from each other. • Select a central meeting place. • Teach kiddos to know they can ask mall personnel or store security employees if they need help. • Before surfing the Internet, secure your personal computers by updating your security software. • Keep your personal information private and your password secure. Do not respond to requests to “verify” your password or credit card information unless you initiated the contact. • Beware of “bargains” from companies with whom you are unfamiliar. • Use secure websites for purchases. Look for the icon of a locked padlock at the bottom of the screen or “https” in the URL address. • Shop with companies you know and trust. December 2013
