Last year H.E.B. selected Jaycee Park to receive one of their water playgrounds (a $250,000 donation). Construction started on Valentines Day 2011 and all is finished except for some final details. So now it’s time to bring your family and friends out to Jaycee Park on Saturday May 21st at 10am for a celebration sponsored by H.E.B.! The firefighters and their fire engine are also scheduled to be at the party.
At past H.E.B. Water Playground grand openings, they have had ice cream, refreshments, their mascot, H-E-Buddy, and a visit from Scott McClelland, President of HEB Houston.
Please see the attached invitation. All are welcome, so feel free to forward to all your family and friends.
The husband of our beloved past Lazybrook Civic Club treasurer, Mrs. Mary Kathryn Peterson passed away Saturday.

The family requests that remembrances be made to Lazybrook Baptist Church Senior Adult Fund or to the charity of your choice.
Our prayers are with the Peterson family on this sad occasion.

A small group of homeowners that includes residents of Timbergrove, Brookwoods Estates, and Holly Park have filed a lawsuit against the Federal Highway Administration claiming that the agency approved the expansion of Hwy. 290 along the 38-mile stretch from 610 to FM 2920 last August without properly analyzing how noise from the project would affect their properties.

The City of Houston Charter requires that the City Council expand to eleven single-member districts at such point that census data demonstrates that the City’s population exceeds 2.1 million residents. The City is interested in hearing from you and your neighborhood regarding your suggestions for the configuration of the new council districts. Attend this Town Hall meeting and tell us what you think.

This public town hall meeting is open to all Houstonians! The City of Houston has set up a web page detailing information regarding the redistricting process. Please check back frequently, as it will be updated as new information becomes available. Vietnamese and Spanish language versions of the site are also available.
There will NOT be a map of new districts available at the redistricting meetings. This phase of the process is designed to hear from the public BEFORE the City of Houston draws any proposed map.
