Willow Meadows Civic Club

Check out the May 2013 issue of Texas Highways.  Dan Oko has a six page article (with photos by E. Dan Klepper) entitled "Child in the Wild: Learning and bonding on a father-daughter camping trip."

Dan and daughter Ursula camped at four parks among several stops on an eight-day trip through south-central and west Texas, including critter encounters ranging from a javelina through wild turkey to a black bear.  Nice work all around, Dan; especially enlightening was the "Tips for camping with kids" sidebar!

The next WMCC General Meeting will be at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at Willow Meadows Baptist Church, in the Fellowship Hall (not the chapel).  Councilman Green will be on hand to address some topics of concern to Willow Meadows residents.

If anyone has anything specific that he/she would like the Councilman to discuss (e.g. long-term solutions to water pooling on some streets, the replacement of the Police Department's Beechnut Substation, etc) please send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Willow Meadows Baptist Church is having another Community Garage Sale on Apr. 20 from 8 a.m. until noon. Call Shirley at 713-723-2870 for a space (there is no charge).  WMBC will provide a space and one long table.

METRORail's 18 light-rail vehicles (LRVs) have traveled more than four million miles (the equivalent of five trips to the moon and back) recording 100 million boardings in the process. METRORail reached this milestone four years ahead of schedule. And to celebrate this milestone the public is invited to ride the METRORail for free all day on Tuesday, April 9, 2013.

Take advantage of the Tuesday, April 9, 2013, free rides on the rail system and begin using public transportation to help reduce traffic congestion on Houston streets.
