Firework Reminder
|
|
| It's Illegal! Besides the risk of losing a finger or setting yourself or others on fire, remember that it is ILLEGAL to discharge fireworks or to have fireworks in your possession in the City of Houston. The fines are anywhere from $500 - $2000 for each individual firework. If a minor is caught with fireworks, the parent or guardian will
receive the fine even if they were unaware of the minor's possession
and/or usage.
Citizens should report all complaints regarding
the illegal use of fireworks directly to the HPD Tele-communicator
(non-emergency line) at 713-884-3131. If the citizen believes that
there may be a fire and/or medical emergency related to the use of
fireworks, he/she should dial 9-1-1 and request the HFD.

Dr. Will Webber
|
|
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Dr. Will Webber. Will was instrumental in the organization and success of the Neartown Little League. Beyond playing a key role in the transformation of Chew Park, he also led the partnership with HISD and the Hilton Foundation to create Hilton Field at Wharton Elementary.
Our hearts and prayers are with Will's family during this difficult time.

The North Montrose Civic Association is a non profit neighborhood association that for more than 25 years has promoted activism and social interaction through its civic minded volunteers with the purpose of improving our neighborhoods and overall quality of life. While our neighborhood has undergone a radical transformation over the past 25 years, many of the issues we face today are still quite the same. NMCA has been at the forefront of working with residents, businesses, elected officials and other organizations and institutions to provide a cohesive voice on those issues that affect our neighborhood.
While our neighborhood continues to change, so does our civic association. We are excited about our new online newsletter as well as our revamped website. Our hope is that these new interactive tools will allow us to keep you better informed of our upcoming meetings and events. We also intend to have periodic socials during the year that will allow old and new friends to meet and get to know one another.
We welcome all of our new neighbors to join NMCA and encourage our existing members and old friends to renew their memberships. It is an exciting time for NMCA and our neighbohood! I look forward to meeting and working with you.
Sincerely,
Lance Jones
President
