Social Corner
The weather may have still been warm, but the home of Jerry and Doris Edmonds was overflowing with Holiday cheer. We had over sixty Wimbledon Champions residents come out to the beautiful home of Jerry and Doris Edmonds for our annual Holiday Party. It was a wonderful evening with filled with an unending supply of food, friends, and fun! To those that made appetizers and desserts, they were simply amazing! We all were full before the main course was even served! Thank you so much Jerry and Doris for sharing your beautiful new home with all of us. We all had a lovely evening! If you would be interested in hosting next year’s Holiday Party please contact Cheryl Garza. It really is a lot of fun to host and our amazing Social Committee help you with everything! Our Subdivision donated $372 towards a new computer and several suitcases and duffel bags for the children. Embracing Destiny is always in need of new or used duffle bags. If you find any at a used or new retail store or have some yourself you are not in need of, please contact Cheryl Garza to arrange a pick-up or delivery. I wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone on our Wimbledon Champions Social Committee. You ladies are the best! We have an amazing team and this special evening would not have been possible without all your efforts. I love and appreciate all of you! If you would like to be a part of the Social Committee in our neighborhood or have any suggestions for future events, please contact Cheryl Garza at 713-828-4780. Wimbledon Champions Social Committee Kelli Adams, Diana Eberhard, Gayle Jennings, Jean Kuecher, Cheryl Garza There was a never ending supply of food!
There was plenty of outside seating for residents to enjoy the “warm” Holiday weather.
Our local Klein Chamber Orchestra entertained our residents with the sounds of the Season.

Holiday Yard of the Month Congratulations to Roger and Vicky Weatherby at 6206 Becker Line Drive This month’s selection, for Yard of the Month (YOM), was very competitive with many residents brightening our subdivision with holiday decorations and landscape. The Weatherby’s home is all aglow with Christmas lights and holiday accents. The highlight, of their decorations, is the “one of a kind” Reindeer designed and painted by their talented daughter, Meghan. She is currently attending Parsons School of Design Master’s program in New York City. Nestled in all of their holiday décor are beds of multicolored Pansies and Snapdragons. Their yard is always an example of good landscape design with seasonal color, evergreen shrubs, Sago, Fan, Robellini and Queen Palms providing a winning combination. In appreciation for their efforts, Roger and Vicky will receive a $50 gift certificate from Plants For All Seasons, their address listed as YOM on the Wimbledon Champions marquee on Cypresswood Drive and color photos on the Peel, Inc. web site for Wimbledon Champions.
