While children accept chocolate goodies and other sweet treats on Halloween, Westbury area residents will have a chance to take home free trees.
The Westbury Civic Club will present its second Trick or Tree program from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at Westbury Baptist Church, 10425 Hillcroft St.
“After Ike, this is an opportunity for residents to replace trees that were lost,” said Robin Blut, executive director of Keep Houston Beautiful. Blut’s association has been helping the Westbury Civic Club get the word out about the event. “We think it’s a very wonderful opportunity for neighborhood groups to have trees that are well grown,” she said.

Not limited to Westbury
Trick or Tree is not limited to Westbury residents, Edmondson said. “With so much of our tree canopy destroyed by Ike and by the drought this summer, we know the surrounding areas needs trees just as much as we do.”

Come and say hello to your neighbors. Each month containing 5 Fridays we host a meet and greet at our home for all Lazybrook residents on the 5th Friday of the month.
In the 1960’s when our neighborhood began, impromptu social gatherings were the norm. Families got together for no reason other than saying hey and catching up. The Hooper House driveway was active most Fridays. 50 years later we are in a fast paced world and we have to actively seek our neighbor’s company. The Hooper House is now our home and we too love to visit with our neighbors. This past gatherings have been full and fun. We have some very colorful folks in Lazybrook. If you aren’t coming you are missed. Come help us get to know the new neighbors, visit with the original neighbors and hear about what’s up on the different blocks.

The one-day truck sale of rain barrels and compost bins will have limited supplies, and all sales will be on a first-come-first-serve basis beginning at 9:00 am. Historically, Norseman has sold out within the first couple of hours of the truck sale, and if you are not in line at 9:00 am you may not get the rain barrel or compost bin you want. By making a small tax deductible donation to BBAP, you can pre-order your rain barrel, compost bin, or kitchen organics collector today. This will guarantee that you get the rain barrel or compost bin you want, and support public art at the same time.
National Night Out is quickly approaching. It is set for next Tuesday evening, October 5th, 2010. We encourage you to talk to your neighbors and block captain to plan a gathering for your block. We should all use this opportunity to welcome new neighbors and spend time catching up with old friends. National Night Out is a nation-wide program designed to raise crime prevention awareness, generate support for anticrime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and to send a message to criminals that we are fighting back! Our City of Houston National Night Out coordinator has asked for us to come up with something special to do for our National Night Out parties. The Houston Police Department is once again collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the Houston Food Bank. This would allow us all to assist those less fortunate than ourselves during these tough economic times. Let’s try to make a difference in their lives!
If you are planning on hosting or attending a block party please let Matt Herring know so he can forward this along to HPD. They are going to try to send officers out to chat with as many neighbors as possible.
