SANTA AT RAINTREE VILLAGETo celebrate the holiday season, Raintree Village HOA will have Santa available for pictures along with holiday treats. There will be a minimal charge for the pictures with Santa. The event will be held at our pocket park located at the corner of Westgreen and Linden Tree. Please be on the lookout for a banner at the park as well as signs throughout the community for the date and time in December 2012.
If you’re interested in volunteering for this event, please contact Walonda Hollins at [email protected]
TIPS TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF BURGLARY DURING THE HOLIDAYS
Since the holiday season is around the corner, the list includes simple reminders towards minimizing our exposure to crime.
1. Breakdown boxes from gifts and put in garbage bags rather than placing on the curb. You are advertising or inviting unwanted guests to your home by simply placing such boxes from televisions, video electronics and other expensive items.2. Don’t keep garage door openers in the car, take them in the house with you; a garage door opener makes it easier for someone to enter your garage or house to remove personal property.3. Keep all shrubs and plants at a level low enough that passing by officers or other residents can see if someone is lurking in those bushes! Shrubs should also be trimmed high enough to show “feet” of someone hiding in them.4. Have keys in hand before leaving the store, house or office avoiding standing by the car searching for them. 5. Don’t leave ladders on the side of the house or in the back yard. Ladders provide easy access to open second floor windows and no one will be able to see.6. Make sure you close blinds when you are inside at night with the lights on, potential burglars can see right inside and know who is at home.7. Use sensor lights outside the home. It deters criminals by “spot lighting” their efforts to enter your home.8. Use double key locks: locks that require a key from the outside and from the inside.9. Repair any broken areas of your fence reducing the access of potential burglars or mischievous kids.10. When on vacation, let your neighbor(s) know so they can keep an eye out for suspicious activity.

11. When on vacation, keep yards mowed and trimmed, burglars spend a lot of time in a neighborhood looking for their next targets. Overgrown yards are a sure sign no one’s home.12. Know your neighbors and neighborhood, call in any suspicious activity, attend the crime watch meetings.
Texas Parking LawWe have received numerous complaints regarding vehicles, trailers and other items parked on the streets. As neighbors we must adhere to state law as follows:
• Vehicles parked on street must show valid current registration & inspection• 30 feet from stop sign• 20 feet from cross walk• 18” from curb – parallel to curb, turned toward curb, car locked• WITH the traffic direction• No more than 48 hours on a public street – sticker after 48 hours/tow after additional 48 hours• No parking on the sidewalks (except where sidewalk crosses driveway)• 15 feet from fire hydrant• Cannot obstruct another’s driveway
Let’s be mindful to not park in front of a fellow neighbor’s home and mailbox. If you own a boat, trailer and other vehicles our streets should not be treated as an extension of your driveway. We encourage you to not keep such vehicles parked on our public streets for extended periods. Some residential streets become more like an obstacle course and creating blind spots while driving through the neighborhood. More importantly, parking on some residential streets can make it more difficult for emergency vehicles to service our area.
residenTiaL addressA number of our residential homes need to ensure the address clearly visible and not obstructed by plants or other items. If you or someone in your home required emergency attention, the lack of a visible address may result in delayed assistance. Reflective numbering on the curb nearest the driveway is considered the most effective. Many of the newer homes have the address located on the homes under an external light. If this is the case, it’s critical to ensure the address is not obstructed by plants.
rainTree ViLLage HOa websiTeWe encourage you to visit our community website. The website includes a link to review current crime statistics for our community (www.crimereports.org) and pictures of Yard of the Month winners. As a fellow resident, you’ll have access to critical information regarding the HOA budget and annual meeting minutes. The aforementioned information can only be accessed by establishing a log-on user name and password. A request for an email address during the initial signup process will enable residents to receive alerts of upcoming events or critical notices. If you have any suggestions, please contact KPM Management Office at 281-685-3090.

Volunteers needed!The HOA sponsors at least two community events whereby neighbors can come out get to know each other and have fun. Additionally, we have standing committees, which require an ongoing commitment of service. As a result, we need volunteers to ensure continued and even greater success. Volunteers are needed for the following:
Pool Committee, Newsletter, Yard of the MonthCommunity Block Parties (Pool Party, National Night Out & Santa at Raintree Village)
Again, volunteering is an opportunity to make Raintree Village a better community for all the residents. If you’re interested in any of the above communities, contact Walonda Hollins at [email protected]
sPotlIGHtInG our YoutHIn the July 2012 issue, we congratulated Kaitlin Jones on her accomplishments as a sixth grader at Morton Ranch Junior High. Another school year is about to commence. If your child is recognized for high academic, athletic or other accomplishments, please submit the child’s accomplishments via email to Walonda Hollins at [email protected]
GaraGe salesNumerous complaints have been received regarding residents having multiple garage sales in a month. Garage sales are meant to be held twice a year at any one property. Having more than two yard sales a year constitutes running a business. Furthermore, a state tax permit is required and state sales tax must be charged.
Due to traffic problems some residents are causing, the HOA will report residents to the Texas State Comptroller’s Office that fail to compliance with state law. In addition, you MUST retrieve all signs advertising your garage sale. If you know of any offenders, contact KPM Management Office at 281-685-3090.

713-444-7577Trash PickuP services
Royal Waste Management encourages residents to call in complaints regarding trash pickup. The crews are participating in a competition whereby the best crew receives a cash bonus at yearend. All complaints are taken seriously and posted internally for all crews to view. Additionally, the crew suffers deductions for each complaint.
If you have a complaint regarding the trash service, contact Charles Gregory (Operations Manager) at 713-526-1536.
Let’s be mindful that as residents, we must do our part by placing waste in trash bags. If you can’t lift the bag or trash receptacle it’s too full. You should consider breaking up your trash into more bags. We encourage you to remove all trash receptacles from curbside before you retire in the evenings. Additionally, the crew cannot pickup paint and other hazardous materials. You must take such items either to a Harris County or City of Houston hazardous waste dumpsite.
harris counTy Leash LaWAnimals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances:1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access to sidewalk or street.”
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained.
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet. To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained please contact: Harris County Precinct #5, Contract #87: 281-463-6666Harris County Animal Control: 281-999-3191Harris County Health Department, Rabies/Animal Control Section 2223 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027-3588www.countypets.com

LOCAL TEACHERS ATTEND TSCA CONVENTIONSan Antonio was the site of the recent Texas Speech Communication Association convention (TSCA) which was attended by a group of six current and retired speech teachers and debate coaches from Katy. In addition to numerous interesting, useful and thought provoking sessions on all aspects of teaching speech and debate, several awards were given. Notably among the awards was Secondary Speech Educator of the Year, which was presented to Gay Hollis, James Taylor High School debate coach. She has had a very successful coaching career at Taylor and other schools and is a teacher looked up to by students and colleagues alike. Other teachers attending were the speech and debate coaches from Mayde Creek High School, Greg McGee; from Morton Ranch High School, Carrie Sanguinetti and from Seven Lakes High School, Charli Lennon.
Carrie Sanguinetti, Charli Lennon, Gay Hollis, Bo Williamson, Norma Coston and Greg McGee.
Gay Hollis being presented award by Sandra Jones of Alief ISD and
committee chair.
George Tennison being presented award by Sandra Jones of Alief ISD and
committee chair.
Rounding out the group were retired Katy teachers Norma Coston and Bo Williamson who currently own Custom Awards & Engraving in Katy. Although retired from teaching and coaching, the two remain active in their professional association and Custom Awards & Engraving donates the award plaques each year for the various categories of Educator of the Year. Both Bo and Norma are Life Members of the association and while Coston has been a member for 32 years, Williamson boasts a 48-year membership.
Another winner from our area was George Tennison, speech teacher and debate coach from Olle Middle School in the Alief School District. He was honored as TSCA’s Middle School Speech Educator of the Year.
Next year’s convention will be held in Corpus Christi and all speech and debate teachers are encouraged to attend and learn from the sessions provided as well as ideas of colleagues’ they meet. It’s a “once a year” opportunity to experience a “teaching growth spurt” over a short period of time.

CELEBRATION OF LIVESTOCK SHOW & RODEO’S 70TH ANNIVERSARY BRINGS COUNTRY ACT TO BENEFIT
SCHOLARSHIP FUNDFollowing the FFA motto “…Living to serve,” in 1943, L.D. Robinson, former Katy High School agriculture teacher, initiated the Katy ISD FFA Livestock Show & Rodeo to serve and better prepare Katy ISD students. To celebrate the legacy of Robinson and the anniversary of the FFA Livestock Show & Rodeo, the Casey Donahew Band will perform a concert on February 9, 2013 at 7 PM at the Leonard E. Merrell Center. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the L.D. Robinson Scholarship Fund.
The L.D. Robinson Scholarship Fund was established in 1970 to honor Robinson. Multiple four-year scholarships are awarded in the amount of $500 per semester to graduating seniors in the Katy ISD FFA and Agriculture Science program who meet the requirements of the scholarship. To date, the scholarship fund has awarded almost 90 recipients.
“We are so excited to feature the Casey Donahew Band to celebrate 70 years of grand achievements within the Katy ISD FFA Livestock Show & Rodeo,” says Diana Elder, daughter of L.D. Robinson and co-advisor/director of the L.D. Robinson Scholarship Fund. “In the spirit of my father, we would like to continue to give back to the community by increasing scholarship funds for students through this benefit concert.”
Casey Donahew released his fourth studio album, Double Wide Dream, in October 2011. In 2012, the Donahew organization received five nominations at the annual Texas Regional Radio Music awards and in June signed up for professional membership with the Academy of Country Music (ACM).
For more information about the concert, contact Ben Rolens, general manager of facilities at the Leonard E. Merrell Center, at 281-396-2562. Go to www.merrellcenter.org to get your tickets online.

Company 2012-2013 sEasonKimberly AKimbo, By David Lindsay-Abaire, Directed by Ron Jones, Through December 15, 2012, STUDIO 101 (1824 Spring Street, Houston 77007).
Kimberly Akimbo is a play written in 2000 by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire. Its title character is a lonely teenage girl suffering from a disease a lot like progeria, that causes her to age 4 and a half times as fast as normal. Thus, Kimberly is trapped inside the frail physical body of an elderly woman. She meets another misfit (a teenage boy) and the two form an attachment to one another that borders on attraction. The situation is not helped by Kimberly’s rapidly deteriorating health. Soon Kimberly’s family gets mixed up in some crazy money schemes and the family gets emotionally destroyed.

Living WOrd LutHerAn CHurCH MAKeS QuiLtS FOr KrAuSe Center
Each September, the Piecemakers quilting group from Living Word Lutheran Church takes a break from making quilts for Lutheran World Relief to make quilts for the children at The Krause Center in Katy. This year, they presented Tawana Goodwin with twenty quilts. Each child receives a quilt when they arrive at the Center and takes the treasured quilt with them when they leave. During the rest of the year, the Piecemakers make quilts for Lutheran World Relief. These mission quilts go out into the world to provide people in need with the warmth and comfort of a quilt. LWR’s goal in 2013 is to provide 500,000 quilts for people in refugee camps or in areas hit by a natural disaster. The Piecemakers meet twice a month to tie quilts. The public is welcome; if you can tie a knot they need you! For more information, call the church office at 281-392-2300.
