LOEN Ladies Club Information

Another successful community event was held in the Clubhouse on Thursday, May 5. Our Afternoon Cuppa event, featuring coffee, tea, and homemade scones, brought together club members and ladies from the neighborhood that afternoon. Our last Afternoon Cuppa event was in December 2019, so it was amazing to see the response to this event. Thanks to all the ladies who came out and joined us that day! Since 2005 the LOEN Ladies Club strives to provide the women of the community with regularly scheduled events that provide opportunities to meet and socialize. Our current daytime activity groups are Bridge, Brunch Bunch, and afternoon Book Club. The groups meeting at night are Bunco, nighttime Book Club, Girls Night Out, and Dinner Club. Ladies, whether you are a newcomer or long-time resident, you are always welcome to join the LOEN Ladies Club! If you would like more information about the LOEN Ladies Club, email Jeanne MacKenzie at loenladiesclubpresident@ gmail.com.

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 Lakes on Eldridge North - June 2022

JUNE – BRETT AXELSON

www.facebook.com/Brettrenmusic Brett Axelson hails from The Woodlands, Texas. He’s an original singer-songwriter and sways a relaxed, laidback 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. CMS Members: James Womac, Jana Paige Schutt, Chuck Cavaleri, John Armour, and Rick Hanf came out as well as Axelson fans to raise the roof for the occasion! A PHOTO recap is available online now! Stop by @ CYPRESSMUSICSCENE on Facebook! If you haven’t yet, JOIN CMS, so you don’t miss a thing and view the fun at www.facebook. com/groups/498752134842508/media/albums. Watch for BRETT to appear on the CMS Weekend Line Up and JUNE 11; you can see him perform live at Creekwood Grill from 6:30 – 9:30 pm.

Please e-mail articles and/or photos to loen@peelinc.com. Submissions must be received by the 10th of the month for the following month's issue. (Advertising deadline is the 8th of the month.) 2

Lakes on Eldridge North Kern’s flower beetles Wizzie Brown, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Kern’s flower beetles are a type of scarab beetle, closely related to May and June beetles. These are medium sized beetles, reaching about 1/3 inch in length. There are multiple color variations ranging from all black, to brownish-orange or creamy white with black markings. These beetles are pollen feeders and can be found in multiple types of flowers. Often you will find numerous beetles in a single flower. Treatment of these beetles is optional as they feed on pollen and typically do not eat the flower itself. If you feel the need to remove the beetles, you can hand pick them and dump them into a bucket of soapy water. For more information or help with identification, contact Wizzie Brown, Texas AgriLife Extension Service Program Specialist at 512.854.9600.

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.
