NEWS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF COPPERFIELD October 2011

COPPERFIELD WOMEN’S CLUB We would like to extent an enormous Thank You to our shoppers, volunteers, vendors and everyone who supported us at our “Shop Til You Drop” Marketplace. We sincerely appreciate your efforts. If you missed it, we are truly sorry, but there’s always next year. See you there! In October, we are looking forward to Decorating Den’s presentation. They will be visiting with us just in time to help us chic up our homes for the holidays. In November, Wine Styles will enlighten us about the variety of wines available and how to adequately compliment our meals. Ladies, we will be set to impress this holiday season! Remember CWC is a service organization that gives bank to the community, so all funds raised will go right back to the community in scholarships for graduating high school seniors, at Lone Star College, Cy-Fair and grants to other non-profits in our community, as well. Membership in the CWC is open to all ladies in the Northwest Houston neighborhoods. Currently we meet the first Thursday of most months at West Houston Church of Christ at 7:00p.m. Our meetings consist of social time and refreshments, followed by a program at 7:30p.m. The church is located at Queenston and West Road. If there are any adventurous ladies out there, that love to have fun and would like to participate in giving back to the community, we encourage you to come join us! Our monthly meetings are not only educational and enjoyable, but they develop lasting fellowships. We look forward to meeting you! If you have any questions about our club or need directions to the church, please contact Susan McLeroy, Membership Chair at sudomac@comcast.net

COPPERFIELD COURIER THE L.C.H.S THEATRE ENSEMBLE & CHOIR PROUDLY PRESENTS

FOOTLOOSE: THE MUSICAL

The LCHS Theatre Ensemble and the LCHS Choir have joined together together to perform one of the most explosive movie musicals in recent history that bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise the control over the town’s youth that he cannot command in his own home. This heartfelt story is set to the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical.

FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with an open heart and an open mind. Showtimes are OCTOBER 13,14, and 15, 2011 at 7:00 PM: OCTOBER 16, 2011 at 2:00 PM. The show will be performed at Langham Creek High School Auditorium,17610 FM 529 Houston, Texas. Ticket prices are $15.00 reserve seating, $12.00 general admission at the door, $10.000 advance sale general admission, and a special student price for Thursday’s performance of $8.00. You can also visit lchsensemble.com or langhamcreekchoir.com for more information.

COPPERFIELD COURIER ZOO CAMPING TRIP Cadette Troop 16066 recently spent the evening camping at the Houston Zoo. The girls were given a private tour by zoo employees and experienced many interesting behind the scenes facts & activities as well as having the entire zoo to themselves! They enjoyed a pizza dinner with a snack in the evening. The next morning bright and early they had breakfast and a “hands on” experience with various animals such as snakes, hedgehogs, roosters and many more. As part of the camping experience the girls were given a complimentary pass to enjoy the remaining full day at the zoo. Pictured from front to back are Lauren Young, Shelby McMillin, Lindsay Webster, Kelsey Park and on top is Krista Coffman. I encourage all troops to look into this experience as our girls had a great time!
