From The Editor's Desk Welcome to April. It is the time of the year when many of us begin thinking about getting out our brooms and sweeping away the dust bunnies. As you go about your spring cleaning, remember there is no need for a dump run.

After you've unloaded those bulging closets and the cast-offs you've relegated to the attic and the garage, why not give the community a chance to repurpose the things you no longer need. Support The Fairfield Women's Club Fundraising Spring Garage Sale which will be held on April 6th.

I'll bet some of you in Fairfield may be considering April a good month to start thinking about moving into a bigger or smaller home. If that's the case, check out our lead story on The Newcomb Realty Group—Kristi and Michael operate a remarkable company with an award-winning track record. You will be amazed at what they have accomplished in six short years.

Speaking of success and finishing strong, make sure to read Joshua's personal story submitted by his mom, Andrew's Team Nichols campaign results, and Logan Stallone's VFW accolade.

As we are saying goodbye to winter, let's welcome in and take advantage of our local Easter celebrations, baseball and softball competitions, school and community events, picnics, parties, and parades. Fairfield is a fun place to live, play and work. If you see something, say something! We want to hear about all the great opportunities and stories surfacing in our neighborhoods. You can contact me at jackiedevine@ peelinc.com or 832.316.6006.

Giving Back and Helping Others COVER STORY by Jackie Devine

Years ago, my dad, advised me, “Jackie, if you want to be rich and successful, you’ve got to do two things, dabble in real estate and become involved in politics.” I’ve always wondered if old Norm knew what he was talking about. However, after meeting Kristi and Michael Newcomb, I've discovered he might have been on to something. We didn’t discuss politics, but it seems the field of real estate has allowed the Newcombs the freedom to define success in their terms by offering them the quality of life and a standard of living that enables them to follow their passion of giving back and helping others live richer, fuller lives.

Affiliated with Keller Williams, Kristi and Michael are the owners of The Newcomb Realty Group. In six short years, Kristi has risen to the pinnacle of the industry winning accolades such as Top 20 Under 40, the Rising Star Of Texas, Hall Of Fame, and the Platinum Club. Moreover, she has gained fame as one of the top 100 REALTORS®, out of a total of around 35,000, operating in and around the Houston region.

I asked how The Newcomb Realty Group advanced so rapidly when others have been out pounding the pavement for years.

Michael, who joined the team in 2015 answered, "Tenacity, skill, years of proven success, and collaboration are what drives our team."

Meeting the two, it's immediately apparent that the professional cohesion and balance Kristi and Michael share, both in business and in life, reinforces the delivery of their unparalleled service to the degree that about 85% of their business comes from referrals.

Michael said, "When Kristi first approached me with the idea of going out on her own, I supported her totally. Together we developed a plan, and she ran with it using social media and networking to boost her exposure. Amazingly, she built the business organically.”

Kristi proudly claims, "My forte is working one-on-one with clients. I love connecting with them and thrive on conducting methodical market research to maximize their investment. Their trust quickly deepens as they begin to benefit from the research conducted not only on their home, but also on market area, as well as our calculated strategies to help them get the most price per square foot for their house.

Copyright © 2019 Peel, Inc.

"Some agents want to stick with the time-honored plan of taking a few pictures with a cell phone, sticking a For-Sale sign in the yard and praying that it sells. We go the extra mile by obtaining a professional photographer, staging, utilizing social media, optimizing internet presence, and connecting worldwide not only through the internet but with email campaigns, and much more."

Evidence of Kristi’s self-evaluation is the comment of Rocky Martinez, Houston Branch Sales Manager at Hawk Security Services, "The Newcombs are top of the list in their industry. However, they are less motivated by their success and more motivated to help individuals and families achieve the dream of homeownership. They truly care about the satisfaction of their clients and then exceed that every time.”

I asked Kristi and Michael what the most rewarding aspect of their job was. Kristi jumped right in, "I feel I'm there by Divine Appointment. Sometimes I walk out of a house where the owners are getting a divorce, or maybe a spouse has just passed away, or someone is dying of cancer. I realize at these moments that my part is not only to sell their home but to be a steady force during the transition, or to foster care and concern during those difficult times."

Another example of The Newcomb Realty Group’s commitment to the community is supporting Fairfield Sports Association, Boys and Girls Country, Camp For All, Community Of Faith, DEA Cheer, Cy-Fair Schools, Rescue Pink, Toys For Tots and other non-profit organizations around the city.

“Our company culture is based on scripture—specifically Proverbs 27:17, which says, ‘As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another’” stresses Kristi. “We see this as the next stage of our development, and, we hope, as an opportunity to widen our circle of clients and friends.”

Summing it up, Michael adds, “We are proud to be part of the Fairfield Community. It is where we live, work, play, and add meaning to our lives! If anyone in the community is interested in real estate but needs a little boost, please contact The Newcomb Realty Group, we would be honored to help.”

Loving Thought From A Mom

Written by Katherine Schmidt With Joshua Schmidt

As a mother of four, watching your youngest prepare for high school graduation brings up a flood of nostalgic and heartfelt memories. Our experience in the Cypress community has been a wonderful mix of challenge, discovery, collaboration, connection, and joy.

After several wonderful years living in inner-city Houston, I found myself having sleepless nights worrying and wondering how best to feed my youngest child, Joshua’s, voracious curiosity and intelligence, while also meeting his unique needs. It was apparent to us that we were on a completely different journey from anything we had previously known and were going to have to think out of the box about Joshua’s future.

By happy coincidence, Joshua’s Godparent’s, Jim and Michelle Smith had relocated to Fairfield at about the same time. “Far-field” as we once called it, turned out to be a beautiful community.

The more we visited, the more we appreciated all it had to offer and upon closer investigation, discovered Cy-Fair ISD had a very progressive and highly regarded program for children with disabilities.

Joshua’s story began on June 07, 2001. He was born in the Texas Medical Center at the height of hurricane Allison. Joshua had some issues at birth, and due to some unforeseen complications, he arrested for 30 minutes when he was 10 days old. This led to his Cerebral Palsy, causing significant physical disabilities.

Despite Joshua’s rough start, doctors frequently said that his early success was in large part due to his three older sisters, Melissa, Zoe, and Alyson. Their constant love and attention and typical sibling banter was good medicine for Joshua, and he wasted no time learning how to hold his own in a house full of girls.

Joshua has been described by people who know him as very hard working, perseverant, resilient, courageous, hilarious and most likely to be CEO. So, it was wonderful to find a community that opened its arms and encouraged Joshua’s zeal and “work hard play hard mentality, without exclusion.”

Indeed, the assurances given by the Cy-fair Independent School district that Joshua would be educated in the most inclusive environment possible consistently exceeded anything I could have hoped for. The complex challenges we faced were at times daunting but always addressed in the most positive, creative and collaborative spirit. Even when we had to go back to the drawing board, Joshua’s best interests were always prioritized by the teachers, administrators, and staff.

But our community is particularly special in that the educators who teach in Cy-fair ISD, also raise their families in this community and are a huge and integral part of the strength of the community.

Whether it was being invited to help coach the Keith Cougars football team, play a game of pick-up basketball in his walker 8 Fairfield Community Gazette - April 2019

One of Joshua’s greatest achievements was working out with Coach Todd Holloway doing adaptive Crossfit. After working tirelessly for years to walk independently, Joshua, now fourteen with the heart of a champion and Todd’s help, was finally able to meet his goal of walking independently. Shortly after, Joshua ran his first 5K. Fortunately, Todd’s gift for working with Joshua was greater than my fear of him falling!

Working out is now one of the most important aspects of Joshua’s life, for body, mind, and spirit. Joshua is also a comanager of the Cy-Ranch Baseball team and is enjoying the final days of a wonderful experience with great friends, gifted and talented teachers, administrators and staff in CFISD. Next year Joshua will be attending Lone Star College to pursue a degree in adaptive recreation, where he hopes to share his joy of working out with others with disabilities.

As a mother, I can only echo Joshua’s sentiment when he says, “Thank you to everyone who stood beside me while I struggled and still gave me room to grow. There are no words that can fully express my gratitude.”

A very special thanks to the teachers, staff and administrators at Keith Elementary, Salyards Middle School, and Cy-Ranch High School for always being on “Team Josh.” An especially big thank you to those who worked with Joshua the closest and longest: Heather Faunce-Estay, Julie Neira, Sherrie Kostura, and Terrie Surtain, Jacob Leonhardt, and J. R. Satchel.

We will forever remember the fun, laughter, challenges and the successes of our journey with you, and carry it forward into an exciting future!

VFW's Update on Logan Submitted by Donna Morse Gazette readers were introduced to 10th grader Logan Stallone in the 2018 December issue. Since then, his handmade pens are now carried at two gift stores at Auburn University.

Logan Stallone won the Patriots' Pen from the VFW POST 8790 for his essay on “Why My Vote Matters” and was presented with his check at a formal dinner on January 8, 2019. He will continue to compete with a topic that is to be announced in the next couple of weeks.

In addition to winning first place at the VFW 8790 for his speech on "Why my Vote Matters," Logan placed first in two categories and third in one in the regional TSA competition through Bridgeland High School.

Glow Girls

Submitted by Julie Clements

Glow Girls is a program for Ault 4th and 5th-grade girls that was started last year by AP Julie Clements, and teachers Kendall Ginsburg, Tara Willis and Courtney Wren. Their focus is a quote from Maya Angelou, “Nothing can dim the light that shines from within,” and the goal is to help our students find, grow, and share their light.

Also, another goal is to foster leadership, health, and service.

Each week, a lesson about one of three topics is included. Fun lessons include playing games and incorporating movement.

After the lesson, they run/walk the track. The girls set a goal for themselves each week and track their growth over the year. Toward the end of the year, they compete in the CFISD Superintendent Fun Run 5K as their culminating event.

The Glow Girls also hold social events a few times throughout the year in which the coaches meet the students and their families in the community to build relationships. They also do a community service event during the year as a combined effort with the Iron Boys. The service project is selected and run by the students. For the past two years, students have chosen to collect donations for Cypress Lucky Mutts as the service project.

Community of Faith Mission Spotlight: Community Development Submitted by Laura Shook According to the United Nations, more than 700 million people still live in extreme poverty and are struggling to fulfill the most basic needs like health, education, and access to water and sanitation. Yes. The overwhelming majority of people living on less than $1.90 a day live in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and they account for about 70 per cent of the global total of extremely poor people.

However, this issue also affects developed countries. Right now there are 30 million children growing up poor in the world’s richest countries. That’s a lot of people!

• Community development is rooted in the belief that all people should have access to health, well-being, justice and opportunity.

• Community development cannot happen without addressing poverty in our world.

• Poverty relief is directly linked to health, education, safety, and stable governments.

• Nearly 1/2 of the world’s population — more than 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day.

• According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die every day due to poverty.

• In the US, those living below the poverty threshold include people working at minimum wage, even holding down several jobs, seniors living on fixed incomes, and people who find themselves suddenly out of work.

Community of Faith serves alongside partners who are making a difference in these statistics in communities in Houston and around the world. We would love for you to join us! For information, contact Kristy at 832-875-2520 or visit Community of Faith at 16124 Becker Road, 77447. Weekend services take place at 6:00 PM Saturdays and 9:30 AM & 11:30 AM Sundays.

You’re Invited to Celebrate Easter at Community of Faith!

Good Friday Service: Friday, April 19th at 7:00 PM 4 Identical Easter Services: Saturday, April 20th at 4 PM & 6 PM Sunday, April 21st at 9:30 AM & 11:30 AM COF Kids has an exciting, safe, and fun Easter celebration planned for all kids infants to 5th grade, complete with a giant Easter Egg Hunt!

We are located just one exit west of the Grand Parkway at Hwy 290 & Becker Road. For more information contact us at 832-8752520, info@cof.church or visit www.cof.church. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Fair Ladies of Christ the Redeemer Fair Ladies of Christ the Redeemer, or FLOC, is a faith and fellowship group for the women who live in Fairfield and Lakes of Fairhaven that attend Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church.

We generally meet once a month, usually at a member’s home, or a local restaurant, and occasionally at Christ the Redeemer. Our meetings consist of food and drinks, prayer and fellowship! We occasionally have a speaker on topics that pertain to our faith, have fun craft nights, attend Christ the Redeemer events, try out new restaurants, and we also “give back” to the community and the church with some sort of charity or donation activity several times a year.

Our main goals are: • To bring the CtR women of these two neighborhoods together to make social connections with each other, • To support one another, • To surround ourselves with women who share a common faith, and • To bring those that are hesitant to attend CtR each weekend for Mass (due to the large size of the parish) back to Mass because there will be a friendly face in the crowd.

For more information, please contact Amy Wilkes at apw1974@ juno.com, or search for our group on Facebook - Fair Ladies of Christ the Redeemer (FLOC) - and request to join our closed group.

We look forward to meeting you at our next event!

Testimonial from Client

Kristi@NewcombRealtyGroup.com www.NewcombRealtyGroup.com We recently sold our home in Fairfield with the help of Kristi Newcomb and her team! We had moved out of our home and moved 2 hours away for business. Kristi went above and beyond going over to our home, while it was on the market, from the time it was listed up until the night before we closed doing things at the home that we weren't able to do being 2 hours away. She kept a great eye on the house for us. She was always super quick and responsive throughout the entire process.

She is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and it was a pleasure working with her! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home ~ Lauren Fairfield Community Gazette - April 2019
