in age from 5-18. Boys and Girls Country provides a warm, loving, family-like Christian environment where kids have the opportunity to grow up safe and secure and develop to their full potential.
Residents live on campus and attend public schools. They also participate in outside activities such as band, church, sports, summer camps, etc. We have been home to over 1,200 children since 1971.
Boys and Girls Country does not rely on federal or state grants for ongoing support and we are not a United Way member agency. Our funding and volunteer support relies heavily on caring individuals,
businesses, civic groups, churches and foundations in the community. We are committed to serving children who need our Home and no child is turned away because their family cannot afford to pay.

- A Hunters Pledge Responsible hunting provides unique challenges and
rewards. However, the future of the sport depends on
each hunter’s behavior and ethics. Therefore, as a
hunter, I pledge to…
• Respect the environment and wildlife.
Hunting & Fishing Guide
• Respect property and landowners.
• Show consideration for nonhunters.
• Hunt safely.
• Know and obey the law.
• Support wildlife and habitat conservation.
• Pass on an ethical hunting tradition.
• Strive to improve my outdoor skills and
understanding of wildlife.
• Hunt only with ethical hunters. By following these
principles of conduct each time I go afield, I will give
my best to the sport, the public, the environment and
myself. The responsibility to hunt ethically is mine;
the future of hunting depends on me.

- The Seven C’s of Camping Care. We will care how we camp by being
considerate of others.
Caution. We will use caution in the use of
camping equipment both on the road and at the
campsite. We will handle fire and flammable fuels
so as not to endanger others or ourselves. We will
improve our camping skills, knowing the right way
is the safest way.
Courtesy. We will practice politeness because
it enhances the camping experience. We will
respect the privacy of others, control our children
and leash our dogs.
Cleanliness. We will be clean in our camping
habits and teach our children the importance of
cleanliness. We will pick up litter no matter who
left it and be proud of the campsites we leave
behind.
Cooperation. We will observe the letter and spirit
of camping regulations and rules established to
protect our enjoyment of the outdoors. We will
work cooperatively with others to make it better
for everyone.
Conservation. We will protect the environment
in which we enjoy camping and help those whose
job it is to guard and wisely manage our country’s
natural resources. We will endeavor to leave a
better outdoors for those who follow us.
Common Sense. We will apply common sense to
every situation, knowing that reason, and humor
make camping better for ourselves and others.

- Quick Tips • Always Wear A Life Jacket
• Avoid Alcohol
• Be Especially Careful On Personal Watercrafts
• Children Younger Than Age 13 Must Wear A Coast
Guard Approved Life Jacket While Underway
• Enroll In A Boater Education Class
• Don’t Overload Your Boat
• Operate At A Safe Speed

In Addition To The Operator
• Watch Out For Low Water Areas Or Submerged Objects
Did You Know?
Everyone should wear a life jacket when boating. Boaters often don’t have time to retrieve stowed life jackets
during an emergency. Wearing a life jacket not only makes sense, but in many cases it’s the law. All recreational
boats including canoes and kayak must have one wearable U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFD or life jacket for each
person on board. Babies, small children and non-swimmers should always wear a life jacket when near the water,
not just when boating or swimming. It’s just common sense.
Follow state law — and common sense — when it comes to wearing a life jacket!

ROCK THE VOTE

Why Should I Vote?
We live in a democracy and
the only way a democracy
works is if its citizens, young
& old, are active participants.
Voting is an opportunity to
exercise one of the privileges
of living in a democratic
nation. Do you realize
some of the most significant
election issues oftentimes
directly effect the youth of
the country? The war in
Iraq, the economy, education,
employment & job training
programs are just a few of
the issues that effect your
life today but think about
the future and you can add
environmental issues, fossil
fuel consumption, farming & livestock
funding and the list keeps growing. If
you don’t vote, you are surrendering
your power to have any say on how
these issues play out. Also, by not
voting, you are agreeing to “taxation
without representation.” Don’t you want
a say in how your tax dollars are spent?
Not to mention, if you choose not to cast
your vote, you really have no right to
complain about political policies of the
government. You are basically saying,
you don’t care what your government
does. If you don’t care, then why
complain about something you don’t care
about? But above all else, you should
vote because you can. People all over the
world fight & die for this right and it’s a
gift that is yours for the taking.
Voter Registration
• You must be a U.S. Citizen
• You must be 18 years old on Election Day
• You must reside in the state in which you
wish to register
• You must register 30 days prior to an election
to be eligible to vote in that election
• You cannot be a convicted felon
(unless sentence, probation and/or parole
are completed)
• You are not declared mentally incapacitated
by a court of law

Reduction Tips
Buy items, such as liquid detergent, in bulk or larger packaging.
Buy products, like paper towels, that consist of a higher percentage of recycled material.
Change from disposable to reusable - such as fabric napkins, glasses, permanent coffee filters.
Use a battery charger.
Keep your business local - such as farmers markets & co-ops.
Buy only what you need versus buying multiple packages.
Notify companies that send you unwanted catalogs to remove your name from their mailing lists.
Reusing Tips
Take reusable totes to the store instead of using store bags.
Use plastic shopping bags as small garbage can liners.
Start a “lend & borrow” program with your friends & family.
Use newspapers, boxes, peanuts, bubble wrap & brown paper bags for wrapping & shipping packages.
Use sheets, towels & blankets to pad items when moving instead of disposable packing supplies.

In our effort to promote and support community
recycling we are proud to announce that we have
joined forces with Shred Pro Services, a local
document shredding & recycling company.
As an enduring commitment to help protect the
environment & conserve resources we have
implemented an in-house recycling program as
well as a telephone directory recycling program.
Some facts, our directories are 100% recyclable
including the paper, glue, ink and coating. The
paper we use to print our directories has a 40-60%
recycled content. A common fallacy about phone
books is that we save trees when we eliminate
directories. The truth of the matter is, paper is made
from the wood chips & pulp, which is the wasted
portion of lumber. Did you know, recycled phone
books are made into many useful products such as home insulation,
animal bedding, bathroom tissue, cereal boxes, roofing shingles &
of course, new phone books.
Here’s how you can help... when you receive your new
Metropolitan directory, bring us your old one.
Our office is located at 220 W. Main • Tomball, Tx 77375

• Use your ceiling fans - counter-clockwise in the summer &
clockwise in the winter.

Hurricane Safety
58
•
•
•
Hurricanes are severe tropical storms
that form in the southern Atlantic
Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico
and in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Scientists can now predict hurricanes,
but people who live in
coastal communities should plan what
they will do if they are told to evacuate.
Step 1: Get A Kit / “To-Go Bag”
• Get an Emergency Supply Kit
• Have a “to-go bag” ready in case you
need to evacuate
Step 2: Make a Plan
• Make a Family Emergency Plan. Your
family may not be together when
disaster strikes, so it is important to
know how you will contact one
another, how you will get back
together and what you will do in case of an
emergency. Your family’s plan should also
include your pets as well.
Step 3: Be Informed
• A hurricane watch means a hurricane is
possible in your area. Be prepared to
evacuate. Monitor local radio and television new
outlets or listen to NOAA Weather Radio for the
latest developments.
A hurricane warning is when a hurricane is expected
in your area. If local authorities advise you to
evacuate, leave immediately.
Hurricanes are classified into five categories based
on their wind speed, central pressure, and damage
potential. Category Three and higher hurricanes are
considered major hurricanes, though Categories
One and Two are still extremely dangerous and
warrant your full attention.
Hurricanes can produce widespread torrential rains.
Floods are the deadly and destructive result. Slow
moving storms and tropical storms tend to produce
especially heavy rain. Flash flooding can occur due
to intense rainfall. Flooding on rivers and streams
may persist for several days or more after the storm.

Deciding to Stay or Go
Depending on your circumstances and the nature
of the storm, the first important decision is whether
you stay put or evacuate. You should understand
and plan for both possibilities. Use common sense
and available information, to determine if there is
immediate danger.
In any emergency, local authorities may or may not
immediately be able to provide information on
what is happening and what you should do.
However, you should monitor TV or radio news
reports for information or official instructions as
they become available. If you’re specifically told to
evacuate or seek medical treatment, do so immediately.
Here are some questions to ask yourself when deciding
whether or not you should evacuate.
1. Do you live in an evacuation area?
2. Are you able to care for yourself and/or your family
in the event that your home is damaged and /or you
have no power for an extended period of time?
3. Is your home safe?
4. Are you required to evacuate because of the type of home
you live in?
5. Do you live in a low lying area?
The most important thing during & after a hurricane is that you &
your family are safe.
