Hope for Houston This Fourth of July, Newcomb Realty Group and Design For Peace are teaming up to make a difference for Houston families starting over after experiencing homelessness. Four years ago, LeTricia Wilbanks founded Design For Peace, a non-profit that helps give women and their families a strong start as they move into their new homes. Most of these women have successfully exited the residency program offered at Mission of Yahweh, a local shelter for women and their children. Design For Peace works alongside these families and helps to make their new residence look and feel like HOME. As you can imagine, most of these families are starting from scratch with nothing but the clothes on their backs. LeTricia and Selena (Mackay), co-owners of the luxury design firm WM, and their team work to furnish and decorate these homes with donated items collected from all over the Greater Houston area.

Newcomb Realty Group is passionate about serving the community and helping others achieve the dream of having a place to call home. On July 4th, during the "4th at Fairfield" celebration event (following the parade) NRG will be collecting items for these deserving families. We hope you'll visit our booth to say hi and drop off your donations. We will be collecting *NEW* and unused items such as: • twin bedding sets • queen bedding sets • bath towels, washcloths, shower curtains/rings • household cleaning products • small appliances (kitchen, iron, etc) • kitchen utensils, dishes, and cookware • IKEA giftcards If you have new/gently used furniture or decor you'd like to donate, please reach out to LeTricia directly at LeTricia@the-wm.com

JUNE – BRETT AXELSON www.facebook.com/Brettrenmusic Brett Axelson hails from The Woodlands, Texas. He’s an original singer-songwriter and sways a relaxed, laid-back personality. His style is one-of-a-kind. You might liken it to Kenny Chesney meets Bon Jovi. It’s rock, not in a crashy-loud but a funky-smooth sort of way.

Brett entered the music scene in 1982 as a teenager in Portland, Texas, eventually working his way to Austin, where his career took off. Now, he plays at our local Cypress, TX watering holes Brew:30 Taphouse (Telge Rd.) and Rosehill Beergarden (Cypress Rosehill Rd) and others. Among the live venue performances on his 30+ year music resume, Brett has also written the original songs titled “Headin’ Souced,” “Ride Another Day,” and “Miss That Train,” plus you can listen to the rest of his full original album titled “Slow Groove” on all streaming stations NOW! He’s got a Fan Page on Facebook called The Brett Pack – you can follow it for personal messages and updates that only the fans see! I held a much-awaited CMS “SPOTLIGHT” event for Brett Axelson at Creekwood Grill on April 29, 2022.

Pot Lucks are Back Submitted by JoAnn Lambert

It's common knowledge that social engagement is essential for well-being regardless of age. But, it takes on even greater importance for those of us who have retired. Our routines have changed, and so has our social life. Add to that the further threat of isolation for those who have relocated to Cypress to be close to our children. Disengage-ment and loneliness can arise.

Yes, the good news is: We've regained our family. But the bad news is: We've lost our former friendship network. Traveling Seniors of Cypress was created to offer a fun and refreshing way to help seniors take ad-vantage of social opportunities and help them share and connect with others in a friendly, supportive, and joyful way.

We are blessed to have the opportunity to travel together on day trips and longdistance tours. But for those of you wanting more engagement, we are proud and excited to announce that Pot Lucks will be back in the fall bigger, better, and more.

Our last event for the community is this month! The July 4th parade and 4th@fairfield event. Come one, come all for a fun 4th of July.

See the flyer attached.

The shop is owned by a local Cypress area couple, Sam & Julie Dunlap. For more on our backstory and nutrition information, check out our website at dliteshouston.com or call 281.304.2313.

Brandon has been in or near the construction business for almost 20 years, self-taught and hands-on learning. Heather has been a licensed realtor for 13 years and her construction and home improvement knowledge has served her clients well. Their next big step is to flip homes and they are gaining the reputation of being the Cypress version of “Chip and Joanna.”

Most married couples would say they could never work with their spouse, “but we genuinely LOVE working together every day. When a client says, “I love my kitchen so much I want to sleep in here,” says Heather. “We are thrilled and know that this is where we belong; it’s our niche.”

Home improvement project inquiries can be sent to wrandsons@ yahoo.com or our Facebook page messenger.
