A great crowd of neighbors gathered at the Coffee Klatch on December 3rd at our home. Police Officers Lockett and Noiff joined us in enjoying lots of delicious homemade goodies and lots of good conversations. We were also pleased to have three-month old Grant bring his parents to meet their neighbors. If you haven’t been to a Coffee Klatch, please do so next year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Me, Myself & I, a luncheon group for Northaven women who are single, divorced or widowed, met on November 15 at Greek Isles. We meet the third Tuesday of the month and enjoy meeting our neighbors.

NPNA volunteers again turned their considerable energies to creek clearing and garden maintenance on Its My Park Day, November 5^th. With time and careful attention, the plantings have taken on a natural look that brightens the greenbelt.

The creek clearing efforts remove much of the unsightly trash, with the added benefit that so much plastic will not travel further down the watershed, polluting the Trinity River, and beyond. A substantial quantity of brush and tree branches was removed from the Alta Vista Bridge, where it was impeding water flow.

Typical of NPNA events, it was an enjoyable morning for the participants, including some new faces, some “veterans” and a good number of young volunteers, already good neighbors and citizens.  Thanks to the Social Committee for good coffee, donuts, and juice to fuel the efforts.

On behalf of all the creek volunteers, Merry Christmas, and Good Health in the New Year.

The September 15th Coffee Klatch was held in the beautiful home of Pam Shamblin – what a wonderful hostess!
