2nd Annual Coin Drive for Jaycee Park
Your generosity and that of local businesses has allowed us to change the park considerably and soon we’ll add a new playground, splashpad, and renovate the basketball court. However, we still need to fund the walking trail, tennis court renovations, and a new open pavilion. So, save your coins (we will even take checks and cash!) over the next four weeks and we will have 2nd Annual Coin Drive on September 25 from 10:00 a.m. until Noon!
5th Friday Social
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 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.
5th Friday social for July will be hosted at 2222 Lazybrook Dr. by Sherri Oldham and Birgitt Haderlein. Eddie Yarborough has volunteered to help since this is our first shot at it.

Central Division PIP Meeting
Citizens and Police … Friendship Through Education
The Houston Police Department has had a Community Service Division since the Seventies. When a group of citizens requested a presentation on a crime prevention topic, they would send one of their officers to the group and advise them what they could do to keep from becoming crime victims again. This is proactive policing. In 1982, out of the patrol division came the idea that citizens also need to know more about their police department before a crime occurred in their neighborhood. From this idea came the concept of the Positive Interaction Program, “PIP.”
At the July 28th PIP meeting, the Burglary and Theft Division of the Houston Police Department will giving us a presentation.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me or call me at 713-222-5196.

This month Officer Terry Bratton from the Houston Police Department’s Training Division will be at our meeting. He will be teaching us about the split second decisions police officers have to make through “Shoot,Don’t Shoot” videos. This will be an exciting presentation. Please feel free to bring a friend.
