z 4th of July Thanks z

The HOA Board would like to

thank everyone who gave of their

time, talent, muscles, opinions,

and suggestions to help put on a

great 4th of July Celebration.

Diane Webb did a fantastic job

of chairing the committee for

the Party at the

Pool along with

unending sup-

port of Doris

Johnson and

the 4th of July

Committee.

Ken Latimer

and his crew

gave us a

fabulous

parade with a

very wet finale

orchestrated by

the fire department.

We are so glad to have so many

people in the Parade! Jo Latimer

and her bicycle judging team had

a record number of participants.

Joyce Schnell did the sweetest

job of all at the bake shop. Polly

Frisbee and the “kitchen staff ” did

a great job of helping Doris get

us all fed. We can say without a

doubt that all the gentlemen who

cooked hot dogs and sausage were

HOT STUFF!

The children had so much fun

with basketball,

rubber duckies, a

sweet walk, face

painting, the

bike decorating

contest, and

other activi-

ties.

The bever-

age servers

and snow

cone makers

did their best

to keep us cool.

And we simply cannot forget our

bingo organizers and participants!

It was certainly our great fortune

to enjoy fun times and lovely

prizes due to the generosity of sev-

eral Greenwood Forest Neighbors

and retailers.

4 THE FOREST NEWS July 2016

Women’s Club Greenwood Forest was a great place to celebrate the

4th of July. The activities started with a bike decorat-

ing contest followed by a parade featuring fire trucks,

various decorated floats, trucks, corvettes, antique

cars, and many other groups including the Boy

Scouts.

The enthusiastic group then headed to the Club

House for refreshments, hot dogs, chicken salad crois-

sant sandwiches, and sweets at the Bake Shoppe.

Exciting fun activities included bingo, treat walk,

watermelon eating contest, snow cones, face painting,

kitty pool ducks, and basketball shoot contest.

When all of that concluded, it was time to cool off

in the swimming pool. What a Fun Day it was! A

HUGE thank you to all of those who spent many

months planning for this big day.

Home & Garden Club Everybody loves a parade! What a great way to start

the 4th of July celebration. Benette Schrieber built

“Uncle Sam” from various sized clay flower pots

and painted them in red, white and blue! A very

patriotic creation. Benette and her husband, Allen,

also provided the truck for the Garden Club’s parade

entry. Potted plants were handed out to residents

along the parade route.

A big “Thank You” to all of the members and

spouses who made the decorating move along pretty

quickly. Jim and Doris Hardwick were kind enough

to donate their driveway to the preparations. The

end product was awesome!

Congratulations to the July recipients of the Yard

of the Month Award: Pat and Mitch McLendon at

5326 Havenwoods.

Our next meeting will be September 22nd at the

clubhouse. Social time begins at 9:30 am, the

meeting begins at 10 am.

You will find a membership application in this issue

of the Greenwood Forest Newsletter. If you aren’t a

Home & Garden member, we hope you will consider

joining us. You can complete the form and give it to

Wilma Colbert, or bring it to the September meeting.

We hope you enjoy the summer and we’ll see you in September!

HURST PARK

While not within the actual confines of Greenwood

Forest, Hurst Park has been a well-received and valu-

able addition to our neighborhood. Its original intent

was as a detention pond to alleviate flooding issues

on the west side of Greenwood, for which it serves its

purpose. More recently, MUD added a walking trail

complete with lights, benches, water fountains, and a

small parking lot for the enjoyment of area residents.

It’s unfortunate that among the many who utilize

and enjoy this area, there are those who continue to

vandalize and destroy signage within the park. These

actions constitute a felony violation of the Texas

Penal Code. The uncaring perpetrator(s) responsible

for thousands of dollars of damage to the park will

face dire consequences, including their arrest and

prosecution. Additionally, there is a real possibility the

park would face permanent closure, which would be

unfortunate for those who use the park respectfully.

It is our sincere hope that this irresponsible criminal

activity will stop so neither of the above will occur.

In addition, for those residents using the gate at

Indian Wells to access the park, please be consider-

ate of the people who live on Indian Wells and in

the surrounding area. It is against the law to block

driveways, mailboxes, and fire hydrants, and doing so

may result in a traffic violation and even your vehicle

being towed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BURGLARIES

We have had several recent burglaries in our subdivi-

sion. The vast majority of these, if not all, have been

daytime burglaries while the occupants were away

for a brief period of time. Entry was made in all but

one instance through rear windows or doors that

were unlocked or not well secured. One house was

accessed through an unlocked window on the second

floor of the residence which was easily accessible due

to a patio cover and outdoor furniture. We ask that

you let this serve as a reminder to secure your home,

including the second floor, when away for even a

brief period of time.

Safety & Security HOME SECURITY INSPECTIONS

Our Precinct 4 Constable’s office offers a free securi-

ty inspection by a certified safety specialist to residents

of the neighborhood, as stated in our contracts. Many

insurance companies offer policy discounts for suc-

cessfully completing this inspection, so homeowners

could see an immediate financial benefit.

To request a Home Security Inspection, visit

the Precinct 4 website at cd4.hctx.net/online_forms.

php?formID=inspection and sign up. You will be asked

to indicate your Precinct 4 Contract – Greenwood

Forest – as well as your name, address, contact infor-

mation, and the time & day requested.

STREET SAFETY

Please continue to be aware of additional children

and vehicles on our streets now that school is out.

Obey the traffic laws and stay alert for anyone in or

near the street. Do not use an open street as a play-

ground and do not dart across streets without first

checking traffic in both directions.

Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable summer.

10 THE FOREST NEWS July 2016

UPDATE ON MAJOR THOROUGHFARE

On July 14th, the City of Houston Planning Com-

mission took oral comments on the W. Richey/Weeds

Rd./Bourgeois Rd. amendment request. As promised

at our June 29th meeting, the County Engineer’s office

presented a revised plan requesting the deletion of

West Richey/West Greens (Weeds) “S” curve on the

Major Thoroughfare and Freeway Plan, and expand-

ing Bourgeois Road to four lanes from Champion

Forest Dr. to Hollister. This revised plan eliminates

the road that would have impacted the southwest

part of Greenwood Forest and Hurst Park, as well as

Bourgeois Forest.

Eight residents of Greenwood Forest attended the

hearing along with several from Bourgeois Forest,

the owner of the horse farm, and a representative of

Glorious Way Church. No one spoke in opposition to

the revised plan, and the chairman of the commission

stated that they were well aware of the sentiments of

the impacted neighborhoods, having received over 200

comments submitted through their website.

I fully expect the Planning Commission to approve the

revised proposal on August 11th, and forward it to City

Council for final approval before the end of the year.

Thank you to everyone who submitted comments

on this amendment request. You made a difference!

There were a number of people at this hearing who

had just learned of proposed changes in their area,

some impacting family farms owned since the 1880’s,

and they were at a loss as to how to stop what the

county is requesting.

We were fortunate to have found out about the

amendment in time to address it, and fortunate to live

in a community of people willing to step-up to protect

our neighborhoods.

Thank you again,

Rebecca Rex
