Join us for our first holiday party on Friday, Dec 3 at 5:30. All are invited. We will have an outdoor movie, food truck, desserts, drinks, s’more, and music. You may want to bring a chair and/or blanket for the movie and drinks to share. This event is free unless you buy from the food truck. See you there!

We have some great plans for our holiday party on December 3!

Holiday movie on the lawn:      We’ll be watching The Santa Clause with Tim Allen.    Kids will be on blankets in the grass. PJs, movies, s’mores 🙂

Food:   We’ll have a food truck available to purchase dinner (food purchase is optional. Feel free to bring your dinner or we will have a few snacks)

Drinks and desserts:   We’ll have desserts and some drinks from the community.  

Music:  We’ll have festive music and karaoke

So please plan to attend. It’ll be a good time. We do need some help from the community. So please volunteer where you can. Also, if you have teens that need service hours for school, this is a great way for them to get hours.

1. Bakers: Who can bake cookies/brownies/pies? I KNOW we have skilled bakers out there.
2. Bartenders: We already have tea and lemonade. We’ll need water, other non-alcoholic drinks (punch? or hot chocolate?), and alcoholic drinks (beer, wine, spiked egg nog?). While we don’t need to serve guests, we will need to keep an eye on the drink table and keep it clean and stocked.
3. Decorating: Who has a keen eye for decorating? We just need simple decorations. table cloths, window clings, maybe battery operated christmas lights around the patio. If you have other ideas and are interested in helping, please let me know.
4. Cleaning up: Don’t have kids that need to be in bed early? Then please hang around and help us clean up. We’ll need to fold all tables/chairs and sweep/mop.
5. Other: Grill/fire master? Does someone want to set up a s’mores station and man a fire pit? The king of the party can help kiddos with a winter favorite treat.
6. Patio heaters: Anyone have a propane patio heater. I imagine we only need 1 or 2 mid-size ones. We want to be safe under the cover. But we also want to be warm and be able to spread out. A heater or two might be nice near the movie lawn area (but must be stable and safe for the kids). Who can help us plan heat?

Reach out to Evelyn Nordin at eveadele@gmail.com to express your interest in helping in one of these areas.

Fall Family Fun!

See the attached flier for a community fall event on  November 6, 2021 from 2:30pm – 4:30pm.  This is a get together where the families in our community can get to know each other.   We want to pull together some fall treats and fall photo props so that you can get some easy family photos during the nicer times of the year in Houston.

These events will only work if we get some participation from the community.    There are very simple ways to participate.

1. We need some volunteers to provide snacks and help set up. 
2. To have photo opportunities, we will need some props.  
3. Cleanup is always needed afterwards.

Further, we have invited a professional photographer to our grounds earlier in that day to provide family mini-sessions.   There are limited time slots for the photographer and a fee for the session should you determine you want professional photos.  Each family will have a 20 min session (no outfit changes, outdoors).  The session fee is $175, and you will receive ~ 25 digital pictures to use any way you’d like.  

Please visit this link to 1. sign up to volunteer, 2. RSVP for the event, and 3. claim a professional photographer time slot if you choose to go that route.   Sign  up soon as slots will fill up fast.
