Richwood Place – Houston Texas

Here are some photos of the sign toppers being installed in late October. These signs really look amazing. Thank you to all who helped install them. Especially Andrew Stefaniak for leading the team. Thank you to Moustapha El-Hakam for the great design and to Cliff Helmcamp for being instrumental in having the signs fabricated. We have many neighborhood realtors to thank for paying for the signs:

John Daugherty Realtors  – Jim Smith.

Greenwood King Properties – Ruth Adams and Cliff Helmcamp.

Heritage Texas Properties  – Jerry Blum and Suzie Herring.

Modern City Properties – Lisa Thompson.

New Leaf Realty – David Houston.

Thank you all for your contribution to our great neighborhood. Your neighbors appreciate you!

I also want to thank Andrew Stefaniak for installing our new neighborhood watch signs. They look amazing. Last year the Neighborhood Watch team logged 723 volunteer hours patrolling our great neighborhood. Great job everyone! Special thanks to Sue Bailey and Larry Wood for keeping our Neighborhood Watch group organized.
