GREAT SEASON FOR LOEST

Another LOEST season is almost over and great fun is being had by all! The team has won 3 of the 4 dual meets and swimmers are dropping times and improving their stroke techniques. The meets have run very smoothly, thanks to all of our volunteers who are doing such a great job! Many swimmers enjoyed some extra competition at the Summer Thunder invitational on June 7th-8th. All the swimmers are looking forward to our last 2 meets and invitationals. After the season is over, we will once again offer a Fall Swim Program for swimmers looking for conditioning and stroke development. It will run from August 25th-Ocotber 29th. Registration will be open at the beginning of August on the LOEST website. The clinic is available to all families, new and returning, but slots are limited. For more information, please refer to the team website http:/loedolphins.swim-team.us.

CALLOWAY/CORNELIUS GOOD NEIGHBOR PROGRAM YARD OF THE MONTH

In the last couple of Newsletters, I had explained that this will be my last year to chair Yard of the Month. If no one is willing to take over this volunteer position, then the Yard of the Month Program will have to be disbanded. I hope this does not happen. People work diligently on their yards and deserve to be rewarded! I am looking for a couple of people who enjoy gardening and would love to oversee this volunteer position. You would be working with Cornelius Nursery. This would probably take up about 3-4 hours a month of your time. I will help you get started. Please let me know if you are interested.

CONSIDERING GETTING A NEW DOG?

…or if you know friends and family who are, please consider and suggest rescuing vs. buying a dog from a breeder. We have every breed of purebred dog available in our Texas pounds and shelters, in great quantities. This is because of the complete lack of any regulations or limit on breeding in Texas. • Approximately 30-40% of euthanasias in pounds involve purebred animals. • Mixed breeds in Texas stand almost no chance of making it out of the pounds alive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these dogs; they just had the misfortune of being owned by people who did not provide for their needs and care and obviously had no real commitment to their pet. • Countless numbers of people turn their own dogs in to high-kill shelters, dump them rurally in the middle of nowhere or let them roam and stray. It reflects a mentality that most dog lovers do not understand. • When you or someone you know considers adopting a dog, please check out one of our five local animal shelters: 1. BARC - Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care i.e. Houston’s animal control or city pound 2. Harris County Animal Control 3. Houston SPCA

We will also feature a dog in need as “The Adoptable Dog of the Month” in our Lakes on Eldridge newsletter in every issue. For any questions contact the Pet Safety Committee at www.lakesoneldridge. net or through i-neighbors.org

LAKES ON ELDRIDGE BIBLE STUDY

The LOE Bible Study Group began a new study on February 10, 2015. Does it even seem possible that 2015 is here already? Well, it is and we are not yet ready for the Lord’s return. What does it mean to be ready for the Lord’s return? Dee Brestin shows us through her study “A Woman of Beauty” that looks at First, Second and Third John in the New Testament. Each of these letters from the Apostle John is written to believers in Jesus Christ. They define the beauty that God wants to see in us when He sends Jesus to take us to our eternal home. This beauty is not just outward, but comes from deep within us. We can see from the scriptures exactly what God expects from His faithful followers. Our group meets every Tuesday at 9:15 AM, at the Lakes on Eldridge Beach Club for fellowship, music, study and prayer. We welcome all who would like to know more about growing in God’s love and grace. We finish around 11:30 AM and go out to lunch together on the second Tuesday of the month. If you need additional information or would like to attend, it’s not too late, please come to the Beach Club at Lakes On Eldridge.

The donation aligns with new statewide secondary health curriculum, which mandates that students earn CPR certiﬁcation prior to graduation.

July 3th - Student/Staff Holiday

TRHF President Lynn Lebouef said he was proud that the kits will allow 13,000 students to receive training over the next three years.

L - R: Ralph Foxworthy, TRHF board; Jack Smith, TRHF board; Jerry Till, TRHF board; Latrell Shannon, TRHF board; Rick Pritchett, TRHF board; Lynn LeBouef, TRHF president; Ellen Stutts, TRHF board; Marilyn Kinyo, TRHF chief administrative ofﬁcer; Leslie Francis, CFISD director of marketing and business relations and Sydne Marshall, CFISD science, health and wellness curriculum coach.

Chief Bragg was recognized on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Salute to Law Enforcement, a program that he started. The day allows various law enforcement agencies and the public to come together for a community event in which fallen ofﬁcers are recognized, scholarships are awarded and demonstrations are presented. Over the last 20 years, the event has reached more than 50,000 members of the public, and each year more than 80 different agencies are represented. “These recipients are true patriots and heroes in our community,” said Chapter Vice President Tom Jackson. “They have profound impacts in our neighborhoods and on our children. They make things better for everyone around them, and that’s exactly the spirit that the leaders, soldiers, merchants and laymen of the American Revolution would have appreciated.”

In a unanimous vote by the CFISD Board of Trustees on May 11th, Good Neighbor Healthcare Center was approved to bring quality health care services to the district’s new 179-acre multi-campus site at FM 529 and Westgreen Blvd. Later this year, GNHC will begin construction on a 10,000-sq.-ft. school-based Federal Qualiﬁed Healthcare Clinic. The new clinic will be located within walking distance from a CFISD high school, middle school and elementary school. CFISD, the third-largest school district in the state of Texas, serves more than 113,000 students.

BOARD APPROVES CONTINUATION OF RESIDENCE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS

The Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Board of Trustees approved a resolution to continue the residence homestead exemptions for CFISD residents for the 2015 tax year during the regularly scheduled Board meeting on May 11th. CFISD is among a select group of Houston-area school districts that offer a 20-percent Local Optional Homestead Exemption to all resident homeowners. Coupled with a state-mandated $15,000 homestead exemption, CFISD residents pay less per year than residents of most neighboring districts on homes of the same value. The district also offers local exemptions of $15,000 a piece for both property owners who are age 65 or older or disabled. These residents qualify for an additional $10,000 state-mandated exemption.

Dai’ja plans to accept one of the multiple offers she has received from colleges to compete in track and ﬁeld. “We are blessed she has been a part of Cypress Christian School,” says Athletic Director Marsha Martin, “and we are honored that TAPPS selected Dai’ja.” Photo by Jack Potts Photography

Senior Ryan Gibbs will join the LeTourneau University Yellowjackets on the baseball ﬁeld next year. Ryan was the starting catcher for the Warrior TAPPS 3A state championship run in 2014 earning honors in the division.

CCS STUDENTS VOLUNTEER FOR ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION

Cypress Christian middle school students Avery Smith and Maddie Beckmeier and their moms volunteered in downtown Houston at the Arthritis Foundation’s annual community fundraising 5K walk event. They organized t-shirts, assisted with the registration process and set up the food tables.

Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, selfconfidence, ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. 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. 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. Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys

“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 July. 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.
