Lazybrook Easter Egg Hunt – March 29

Events

The Moms of Lazybrook have organized a Lazybrook Easter Egg Hunt and we would love to see and meet many of our neighbors of Lazybrook.  It is this Sunday, March 29th at 3:30 pm.


Please go around to the gate near the ball field on the Manville side of the school. There is a small parking lot that will be available for parking as well as parking along the street.

We will try to start the hunt as close to 3:30 as possible.

If you signed up to bring Easter eggs you can bring them the day of the hunt or drop them off with me or Melissa Cougle beforehand.  MCougle@enscopic.com

If anyone wants to come early to help hide eggs please feel free to come help : )

If you have any questions or suggestions please let Rachel Corbell or Melissa Cougle know!

St. Patrick’s Day

Events

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years. On St. Patrick’s Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

Letter From the President

Letters from the President

As I write this letter the weatherman is warning or a possible freeze here in the first few days of March.  However there seem to be a few indications that spring is coming as there are a few days predicted to be in the mid 70’s.

For those that were not able to attend the January Civic Club meeting much discussion was focused around the increase in dues for membership and the natural area of the bayou, Lazybrook portion of TC Jester Park that borders our neighborhood along West TC Jester Blvd.  The final vote for the annual dues passed and the new rate for 2015 has increased to $40. These dues will go towards making our community a great place to live.  The proposal to cut the natural portion of the bayou did not receive enough votes to pass and will remain a natural landscape. We ask that all neighbors respect this vote outcome and work through the Lazybrook Civic Club to propose further changes to this area.  I have committed to work with the City of Houston and the Parks Department to have a regimented schedule of trimming and maintenance in the area between where the power lines cross the bayou and Ella.

As we prepare for springtime I hope that many of our residents are able to participate in the many area and communities events planned including:

I would also like to thank Shawn Broussard for volunteering to chair the Hospitality committee. Her contribution and willingness to step forward is appreciated and we look forward to seeing her in action.

We are still in need of a Deed Restrictions Petition committee chair to lead the effort of getting the current deed restrictions updated to modern codes and building materials while preserving our Lazybrook neighborhoods character. If you are interested please contact me.
