e presideNt’s letter very year, Lucy convinces Charlie Brown that she’ll hold the football until he kicks it. And every year, she snatches it away, causing Charlie to land on his back in the autumn leaves. That’s what our picnic with the Cherryhurst Civic Association is starting to feel like for me. Once again, we’re postponing our picnic, this time until Spring of next year. I started doubting the likelihood of us getting a bright, sunshiny day on Saturday, Nov. 2, especially before 2 PM. And Cherryhurst holds their annual chili cook off the next day, which likely would’ve decreased their attendance at a picnic the day before. at Rudyard’s to elect board members, officers and Deed Restriction Committee members for next year. The complete slate is listed elsewhere in this newsletter. Our meetings now start at 6:30 PM so we can vacate the room before 8 PM when a comedy club kicks off in the same space. Treasurer bill curry chose not to run again, which is our loss. Besides being a nice guy, Bill worked behind the scenes to accomplish tasks for which he did not get much credit in public – until now. Thank you, Bill. Having you on the board made my life easier and our civic association better. May you always be blessed with an abundance of tasty and exotic cheeses (it’s a Bill thang). My Cherryhurst co-organizer of the picnic says “third time’s the charm.” Spring may be the perfect time for that to come true. I’m grateful to have volunteers to fill spots on the board and the Deed Restrictions Committee. People cherish our neighborhood enough to offer their time and talents to maintain and improve it. record croWd at NNo holidaY partY dec. 2 A record crowd turned out Oct. 1 for our annual National Night Out celebration in Lamar Park. Local businesses outdid themselves with generous contributions of food and drink. Neighbors shared those contributions under twinkling lights in the trees above. Those lights are soon to reappear on our annual Christmas tree near the dolphin fountain. Mark your calendars for our annual Holiday Party on Monday, Dec. 2, at Rivas. That’s about a month after you receive this newsletter. We always have a good time at Rivas, which is decked out with enough Christmas decorations to bring a smile to any Grinch. To promote our National Night Out, local Realtor Mike spear once again produced and mailed at his expense a postcard announcing date, time and location. Thank you, Mike. Vice President Macy bodenhamer herded the “cats” – otherwise known as volunteers – into picking up food, tables, and chairs, then cleaning up and returning everything afterward. Thank you, Macy. I know you’ll make a terrific president next year. doNate to the FoUNtaiN The end of the year is also a good time to consider a tax-deductible donation to renovate the dolphin fountain in Lamar Park. We’re raising $150,000 to rebuild, renovate and improve the fountain and surrounding area, making it a eyecatching feature of our neighborhood for years to come. To make a taxdeductible donation, visit houstonparksboard.org, click the “Donate” button, then “Pay by Credit Card,” then “Donation for” and select “Lamar Park” as the recipient. aNNUal electioN I hope to see you Monday, Nov. 4, at Rudyard’s for our annual election.

She is a licensed professional engineer in the oil and gas industry, and enjoys the local parks and restaurants, her pets, and volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Diana has lived in the Montrose area for most of her time in the city, and is excited to permanently be settled in Hyde Park and become part of this unique community. Finis Cowan and his family moved to Maryland Street in Hyde Park after getting flooded out by Ike. They love their new neighborhood. Cowan’s office is within walking distance and his family enjoys the neighborhood parks. George has served as president since May 2011, initially completing the term of Trevor Eade, who resigned due to illness. Subsequently, he was elected president for 2012 and 2013.
