MCINGVALE SPEAKS AT CHILD ADVOCATES OF FORT BEND VOICES FOR CHILDREN BREAKFAST Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, was the featured speaker at Child Advocates of Fort Bend’s sixth annual Voices for Children Breakfast on Tuesday, September 29, 2015. McIngvale shared his family’s experience adopting 8-year-old Regina as their foster child and how they made a commitment to join her, step-by-step on the journey toward her healing. Nick McMillian, a courageous young man who survived child sexual abuse with the help of the staff at Child Advocates of Fort Bend, shared his personal story of hope and healing. During her welcome, Shelli LeBret, revealed how she came to adopt a child out of the foster care system. The breakfast was sponsored by Exchange Club of Missouri City.

YARD OF THE MONTH

LOST CREEK HOMEOWNERS

Welcome to Lost Creek’s homeowner newsletter. We are pleased to be able to provide this free to all residents of Lost Creek. Please support the advertisers in this publication. Our website is: www.lostcreekowners.com Our Facebook page is: www.facebook.com/lostcreekhoa Check us out on NextDoor: https://lostcreekrichmond.nextdoor.com

LOST CREEK BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Pete Lajoie, President Brian (Joey) Cox, Vice-President Cesar Solis, Secretary/Treasurer Kris Ellis, Treasurer Kerrick Castle, Assistant Secretary/Treasurer

Lost Creek

As always we welcome any and all suggestions from residents of Lost Creek as to what events they would like to have. Please email lostcreekactivities@gmail.com with your suggestions. Thank you to those who have joined the committee and continue to volunteer their time to prepare and put on each of these events. These events cannot go on without our volunteers, if you like having events in Lost Creek please consider volunteering!

Yard of the month will resume in March 2016. Thank you to everyone for keeping your lawn/yard looking great! Looking forward to next season!

LOCK YOUR GARAGE DOOR

Just closing your garage door does not provide security. Even if you have an electric door opener, you are not secure. There are illegal devices that can be used by a burglar to search through all kinds of codes to find one that opens your garage door. When you’re not at home, lock your garage door. Before you go to bed at night, lock your garage door. Also, lock the door that goes from your garage into your house. Keep your garage door closed when you are not working in your garage or not out in your front yard. If you are like most of us, you have many things in your garage, including expensive tools that you don’t want stolen.

December 2015

WANT TO WIDEN YOUR DRIVEWAY? THAT’S GREAT - BUT DO IT THE RIGHT WAY Don’t decrease the value of your property. Go to the Lost Creek website to see examples of driveways that were done well and others that were done poorly. As with any changes you want to make to your property, you must submit an Architectural Improvement Request. It is important that we maintain the character of our community and our property values by restricting what homeowners are allowed to do.

SIGN UP TO GET IMPORTANT NOTICES If you want information on Lost Creek, go to our website. BUT, if you are a Lost Creek resident and want to receive the latest notices on issues and events that are coming up, go to our website AND add your name to our email list! Our list is kept private and is available only to the HOA Board to send out important announcements relating to Lost Creek. You can also “LIKE” our page on Facebook to receive the latest updates in our community!

PLEASE SCOOP YOUR PET’S POOP When you walk your dog, please respect all yards in our neighborhood as well as Lost Creek’s community property. Remember to bring either a scooper and/or plastic bags to pick up the poop and trash it. Thank you.

PLEASE NOTE - PETS ON LEASHES

It is the law in Fort Bend County that all pets must be vaccinated for rabies, registered and restrained. All animals, when outside of an owner’s means of restraint (i.e., in a fenced back yard), must be on a leash. For the safety of all residents, please use all precautions with your pets and keep them on leashes when walking pets in the community EVEN IF YOU FEEL YOUR PET IS HARMLESS. If you see ANY animal roaming freely in the neighborhood, immediately call Animal Control at 281-342-1512. Even if you recognize the animal, be very careful approaching it, as you do not know how it will react; if you can safely retrieve the animal, then call the owner. Otherwise, Animal Control is your best and safest option.

GARDENING TIPS FOR DECEMBER

• If a long flowering period is desired, pansies should be placed in their permanent beds not later than this month. Fertilize monthly with manure, super-phosphate or a liquid high-phosphate product. Keep flowers picked for more bloom. • Take tulips out of cold storage and plant late this month. • Fertilize established trees, spring-blooming shrubs, spurias and sweet peas (after they are a foot tall) with a fertilizer such as 13-13-13; Louisiana iris with cotton seed mea and manure. • Azaleas and camellias may be moved now. Keep moist to lesson cold weather damage. May acidify again. • Last month to plant early blossoming spring bulbs, speciosum and other varieties of lilies. Mulch. • Water plants well before a freeze; dry roots are easily damaged. • Don’t forget to provide food and fresh water for birds. More birds die from lack of water than lack of food.

HOLIDAY VOLUNTEERING IN HOUSTON! Looking for something more meaningful to accomplish versus fighting holiday shopping traffic? VOLUNTEER! There are many opportunities available in our city. Here are a few: 1. Houston Food Bank: opportunities include organizing the pantry shelves and also preparing food bags for pick up for families in need. The holidays are the second hardest time for families who are unable to afford food due to more members being at home.

2. City Wide Club: this local group organizes the Thanksgiving and Christmas feast. Log on to citywideclub.com and the whole family can help serve meals, give food bags, coordinate clothing donations and much more. 3. Citizens for Animal Protection in Katy: many animals are abandoned during the holidays. Spend time with those who cannot speak for themselves. 4. Senior Assisted Living facilities: our senior citizens are the most neglected group of people. Coordinate a magazine drive and donate magazines to a local residential living center, sing holiday carols or better yet, visit and speak with the residents and offer holiday cheer. 5. Star of Hope: prepare or serve meals, read to children, join a prayer group. There is something for everyone here.

8 TIPS TO MANAGE HOLIDAY SPENDING Think you can’t get through the holidays without spending a fortune? Read on for some tips on how to make this season a spending holiday, rather than getting wrapped up in holiday spending. 1. Set Limits for Total Holiday Spending: Give your credit card and your mind a holiday by limiting what you buy to what can safely come out of your bank account. The money you can reasonably spend on gifts is money that isn’t going to bills. 2. Make Your Own “Naughty” or “Nice” Lists: If your shopping list includes more than five people outside of your immediate family, cut down on the number of people on your present list. Then, bake some cookies to give to all the people you snipped from your original gift list.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Don’t let your debt become the Scrooge that steals the fun out of your holiday season. Spend time with your friends and family, base your gift buying on sentiment rather than dollar value and avoid giving yourself a year-round debt headache. If you can follow these tips, when your holiday bank statements arrive in the New Year, you’ll find yourself singing “Joy to the World” all over again. Courtesy of Investopedia.com

3. Budget Based on Your Own Finances: If you have any doubts as to whether those on your list will appreciate the less expensive presents you buy them, think back to what your friends and family gave to you when their budgets were tighter. 4. Become a Coupon and Coupon Code Collector: Before you shop online or in stores, perform a quick web search for coupon codes for your favorite online stores and also comb through the coupons you received in your mailbox. 5. Give Your Time: Mom and Dad (or other far-away family and friends) might love nothing more than a visit from you. Give small gifts and large hugs. However, if you’re tight on cash and want to send a gift, try a calling card. 6. Give Yourself a Better Spending Habit: Give yourself a gift by developing a new and improved spending habit. For example, for every dollar you spend on gifts, you could find a way to remove that dollar from your regular spending. 7. Give Personalized Gifts Instead of Expensive Gifts: A small, thoughtful gift is worth more than an expensive gift that someone may never use. Avoid impulses to shop at trendy department stores and start the holiday by taking a moment to think about what those on your list could really use. 8. Organize Group Volunteering Instead of Holiday Parties: Your friends probably struggle with overspending as much as you do over the holidays. Give them the relief of forgoing buying gifts for you by organizing a group volunteer day instead.

RUOK PROGRAM Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Dept. has a computer-generated program called “Are You OK?” (RUOK). It is a computer-generated call intended for senior citizens (over 55) and disabled persons who live alone and could benefit from a daily check. A computer will generate a call each morning, at about the same time and the participant chooses a time frame. A voice will ask, “Are you OK?” After this, all they have to do is hang up the phone. If the participant goes out of town or leaves the residence for any time, you just temporarily un-subscribe and re-subscribe when you return. If the call goes unanswered, the computer will call back 3 times at 15-minute intervals. If there is still no answer, the Sheriff will dispatch a deputy or the local police. They will have with them a print out of information on the person that is not responding to the calls. This program was established by FBC Sheriff Milton Wright, Commissioner’s Court and Ken Whitt (FBC Sheriff’s Citizens Academy Alumni Assoc.) in 1998. Many police chiefs in the county are also participating in the program and will proceed with the welfare check for citizens of their

Your Neighborhood Realtor

Sell with Confidence!

David is just wonderful! He was both my agent for selling and then for purchasing my new home. I simply cannot say enough about how positive my experience was with David. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, patient, and was genuinely interested in selling my home in Westheimer Lakes and helping me find the right home to purchase. I always felt at ease with David. He went out of his way to assist me throughout the entire home selling process, getting me over asking price, and negotiating a phenomenal deal on the new house. I never felt pressured to make a decision – that was incredibly important to me as both a Seller and a Buyer. He understands the market and negotiated both deals with sensational results. I can truly say that David was not just a realtor, but a friend. I promise, using David as your realtor, you won’t be disappointed. -Pat Swigeart-
