Sincere thanks to all who joined the RPCA for 2013, attended the block party and are supporting our great neighborhood. I want to say a special thank you to a few folks who helped make last night a success.

Rita Cook helped with planning and took care of printing and mailing out the postcards. Thank you, Rita

Sam Brown, general manager of Papa Mio brought a wonderful dinner, attended the party, kept the amazing food hot and served and met the neighbors. Thank you, Papa Mio and Sam!

Sue Bailey, treasurer, helped with many last minute planning and errands. She was a huge help.

Cliff Helmcamp of Greenwood King sponsored our iPad Mini raffle and also was a big help with setup. Thank you, Cliff.

Thank you to Liz and Raymund Eich for loaning us and setting up the tent.

Again, thank you all for your support of our neighborhood. Getting out, meeting each other and getting to know one another is one of the greatest ways we can build community and support our great neighborhood.

What’s on the menu?

Papa Mio is donating dinner. Come hungry. They are providing Penne Pasta, Meat Lasagna, Salad and Bread.

Our neighbors, friends and many members of our civic association worked very hard to help protect this block with the minimum lot size/ building line ordinance through the city of Houston Planning Department and City Council. The block is protected and this particular lot is very much a win for protecting the residential character of our neighborhood. Thank you to each of you that worked to make this a reality. We appreciate your support and look forward to the home that will be built on this lot. Congratulations!
