Fairfield’s Fifty Plus Fun-Loving Group The Fairfield Seniors

The Seniors of Fairfield are an active, fifty plus, fun-loving group of couples and singles who enjoy fellowship, monthly trips, and various activities together. If you or your spouse is fifty or older, a newcomer to Fairfield Village or have lived here in Fairfield for some time but have never attended one of our functions, you are cordially invited. Come and be a part of our fun-loving group. We’re sure you will enjoy it.

OUR HISTORY: Over these past ten plus years we've taken over a hundred trips. The Fairfield Gazette's web-site has back issues available from September, 2004. In order to go back to our beginning, we must thank Kelly Peel of Peel Inc. for locating all our articles from their archives and sending them to us. We now have every article submitted, which enabled us to put together Our History, and a complete listing of all our trips. Just go to Our History in our weekly email to read about our beginning and all the trips we’ve taken. You can get the complete listing at… http://home.comcast.net/~seniorgroup/History.htm OUR OCTOBER BUS TRIP PLANS ARE FOR: Friday, October 12th, this will be a Mystery trip. Yes, Mary Ann Tully has put together another mystery trip for October. On this mystery trip there will not be much walking or standing and it’s only about an hour drive from Fairfield. Afterward, we will be going for lunch on the Kemah boardwalk. We will have about two to two and half hours to have lunch at one of the many fine restaurants, and some time even to browse through the shops or watch the boats. The cost will be $10.00 per person plus the cost of your lunch, along the boardwalk. To get your name on the list for this trip call: Mary Ann Tully at 281-2562342. Checks are to be made out to: Fairfield 50 Plus and are due no later than October 5th. Checks can be given to Mary Ann Tully, or Mary Lou Cook, and can also be mailed to Mary Ann Tully at 20310 Vaulted Chestnut Lane, Cypress, Texas 77433.

We will then proceed to the Gruene Historic District and to the Gristmill Restaurant. You will then be free to wander the district and have lunch whenever you please.

It is also at the Lakeside Trails Club House. However, plan on being there early. Doors open around 6:00 p.m. for socializing and fellowship.

Tuesday, October 16: Game Night at the Cooks’ House: It starts around 6:30 p.m. Just bring a little snack and a healthy appetite. This is always a fun evening with great fellowship. The directions are in the Activity page on our website and will also be in our October, 14 weekly newsletter. Thursday, October 25: Game Night at Lakeside Trails Club House: It starts around 6:30 p.m., and we have plenty of room at the club house. We would like to see you there to enjoy an evening of games and fellowship with us. Just bring a little snack and plan on having lots of fun.

Fairfield Community Gazette - October 2012

Around Fairfield An Important Message To Bradford Creek, Chappell Ridge & Garden Grove Homeowners

A very important proposal is coming up for vote early this October. The proposal is to combine the financial assets of Bradford Creek, Chappell Ridge & Garden Grove into a newly named Fairfield Central Neighborhood Association, Inc. A Transition Committee has been looking at how best to govern this community after Friendswood Development completes the build-out of Fairfield and departs. The proposed merger is basically a financial arrangement that does not change the identity of the individual neighborhoods. Based on the present financial arrangement these three neighborhoods have like costs for audits & tax returns, insurance, management fees, office supplies, etc. The combined Fairfield Central finances would have one set of costs eliminating approximately $12,000/ year in unnecessary fees per merged association. By combining the finances,

the neighborhood dues for Bradford Creek at $380.00 and Garden Grove at $340.00 would be reduced to the same $300.00 current assessment for Chappell Ridge. The current estimate of a $300.00 assessment should satisfy the needs of Fairfield Central for at least two years. Another problem with the present setup is the disparity in size of the various neighborhoods in Fairfield. As this community was developed, the number of lots in a neighborhood association was dictated by the economic situation at the time. The neighborhoods vary in size from 287 lots each for The Lakes and The Trails to the much larger 1561 lots in Fairfield South. At the present time as shown in the following chart, Chappell Ridge has only 5.66% and Garden Grove only 7.66% of the neighborhood lots and votes in the master association as of December 31, 2011.

The only available area for additional lots is in Fairfield Village South which will eventually have approximately 2000 lots. The percentages for most neighborhoods will be less than shown as Fairfield Village South adds lots and gains in percentage. Each neighborhood property owner pays an assessment to their neighborhood association in January each year. In July, each property owner pays an assessment to the master association, Fairfield Village Community Association (FVCA). This master association is responsible for the overall maintenance of common areas including green belts, boulevards, lakes, parks, etc. The new Fairfield Central Neighborhood Association, Inc. would speak with one stronger voice (33% of the decision) in the operation 12 Fairfield Community Gazette - October 2012

of the master association. And remember, your assessment is almost double to the FVCA so the power of the combined voice is meaningful when it comes to decisions that ultimately affect that assessment. Combining the three neighborhoods is a common-sense solution to controlling costs and maintaining a voice in the community. We encourage each homeowner to vote YES for the formation of Fairfield Central Neighborhood Association, Inc. a combination of Bradford Creek, Chappell Ridge and Garden Grove.

Fairfield Book Club

The Fairfield Book Club is a terrific way to meet other women in our community, enjoy great conversations, and develop new friendships. We meet the third Wednesday of each month (rotating homes) from 7 to 9:30pm. Book Club members share food and drinks while discussing the book selection for that month. We read all kinds of books suggested by our members - classics, contemporary fiction, non-fiction, biographies, romance, sci-fi, etc. There are no book snobs in our group - we read it all! If you are a book lover or simply want to expand your reading and social network, please consider joining us. We invite you to attend one of our meetings as a guest or a member. We currently have openings; however, because we hold meetings in our homes, membership is limited. For membership inquiries, please call or text Linda Locke at 713-298-6514.

For additional information, please visit our website at http://www.pack533cypress. scoutlander.com and navigate to the Parents' Page - Join Pack 533 section or email angela.hoang@att.net.

Our community can help to fund our scouting program through the first of two fundraising events that are allowed which provide the only income to support our Pack, our events and to purchase awards earned by our Scouts. Look for Pack 533 Scouts selling Trail's End Popcorn and purchase delicious holiday gifts that share the message of Scouting on each bag. When our Scouts go through the process of fundraising, it truly prepares them for life by imparting knowledge, self-confidence, ethics, leadership and citizenship skills while "earning their own way² since they know that 70% of the cost will support Scouting programs in our Sam Houston Area Council. Cub Scouting really is FUN with a PURPOSE! Please visit our website at http://www.pack533cypress.scoutlander. com or email angela.hoang@att.net for information on a scrumptious way to support Pack 533.

COUSINS 4 A CURE

Our team, Cousins 4 a Cure, will be taking part in JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes for the 10th year! We hope you will join us, for this fun yet very important day, on Saturday, October 27th, 2012, 8:00 am at Reliant Stadium. Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people. It has been affecting Matthew since 2002 (9 mos.) and Jake since 2008 (16yrs.). Matthew is a 6th grader at Salyards Jr. High and loves playing sports. Jake is a graduate from Cy-Woods H.S. and is in his 3rd year of college at U.T.S.A. where he’s currently the president of the Ultimate Frisbee team. Diabetes is Jake and Matthew’s worst enemy! How would you like to have your enemy follow you around every second of the day or have to prick your finger 5 – 8 times per day (that’s approx. 2,000 finger pricks a year)? Diabetes never goes away…even when you’re sleeping. If not treated properly, you face the risk of seizures, commas, or long term complications of kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, liver damage, and even death. But because of help from people like you we are closer every day to a cure! Through donations researchers are advancing more and more. Both boys have a device (CGM) that checks their blood sugars every 5 minutes! Matthew is also on an insulin pump that administers insulin on an hourly basis and when he consumes any

amount of food. Jake still administers insulin through shots at least 5 - 7 times a day. We thank you for your support…neither one of these is a cure but only serves as a life support! Please go to the JDRF website to register, donate and for more information.

Rewards for Recycling Coming to Fairfield Village on November 1st!

You may have heard that we’ll soon be launching a new program that will reward you when you recycle at home … it’s true! Waste Management, Fairfield Village, and MUDs 322, 354, 396 and 397 are proud to bring you Recyclebank—the rewards program that motivates you to take green actions, like recycling! Points can be used at Recyclebank.com for rewards such as groceries, apparel, merchandise and discounts at local businesses and national retailers. We believe that the Recyclebank program is a win-win-win for our residents, local businesses and the environment. WHO All residents of Fairfield Village are encouraged to participate. WHAT When you participate in the Recyclebank program, you earn points each time you recycle, each time you refer your friends and family, and each time you enter point codes from Recyclebank partners. You can also earn points while learning about ways to green your lifestyle. Report

your recycling activity through the Recyclebank website or smartphone app and earn BONUS points each week you report in! Waste Management and Recyclebank offer a hassle-free, single-stream, community weight-based approach to recycling. That means you do not have to separate any of your recyclable items and your points will be based on how much you and your neighbors recycle. The more the entire community recycles, the more points everyone gets, and the less waste we have to put in the landfills. It’s a win-win-win… so tell your neighbors to participate and recycle so everyone can reap the rewards! WHEN Single-stream curbside recycling begins on October 1st, and the Rewards program will begin on November 1st. WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU? Keep an eye out for a letter from Recyclebank and Waste Management towards the end of October with instructions on how to register and begin participating in the Recyclebank program!

School News

Fairfield Theatre Group Fairfield area middle school theater students are Broadway bound in June of 2013. The students and their chaperones will be travelling with Smithsonian Student Travel Company for a 5 day educational trip to discover Broadway and the Arts in New York City, and are looking forward to learning about theater in the Big Apple. The trip includes the opportunity to tour important theater landmarks such as the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Radio City Music Hall, NBC studios, as well as see Broadway shows and attend theater workshops. In addition, the students will visit many other NYC historical sites such as the World Trade Center site, Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State Building. The sponsors hope to make this a tradition to go every 2 years so that every middle school theater student who has completed 7th and/ or 8th grade theater has the opportunity to experience the trip of a lifetime. This is not a school sponsored trip so the students have created their own group called Fairfield Theatre and are working

hard to raise funds to cover some of the tuition for the trip. Fairfield Soccer Association has generously allowed the group to set up concession stands at both Central Park and Weaver fields for Saturday morning soccer games throughout the season. The students are also offering preorder team snack sales for any busy parent who would like the option of convenience. Look for the white tents where the students are busy selling concessions and entertaining the crowds, and ask about ordering team snacks for future games. In addition, Fairfield Baptist Church has allowed the group to use their facilities for our meetings along with some much appreciated office support. Good Shepard Methodist church has been a generous sponsor to our fundraising efforts also. We are very thankful for the support from FSA and both Fairfield Baptist and Good Shepard Methodist Church, as well as the generous community of families in our area. Thank You from Fairfield Theatre Group
