RESTRICTIONS Due to the anticipated high demand for the rest of this season, we must reluctantly limit use of the Aquatic Facility to MNW residents only. The sole exception to this rule will be for out-of-town guests staying with MNW residents. Guest passes for such cases should be obtained in advance from the Community Center office during normal office hours (Monday – Saturday, 9 am – 3 pm).
GRAND OPENING WEEKEND – “FAST PASS” OPTION Entry to the Aquatic Facility on Grand Opening Weekend will be via the main pool entrance by finger scan or PIN only. No exceptions!
If you want to avoid the lines at the pool entrance, you may wish to obtain a “FAST PASS” (family wristband) valid for Saturday 9/21 and/or Sunday 9/22. “FAST PASS” wristband holders will enter through a separate gate (adjacent to the main entrance), thus minimizing delays. To obtain a “FAST PASS” wristband, please come to the Community Center office during Scanning Hours (Tuesday – Saturday, 10 am – 2 pm, plus special evening Scanning Hours in September (Tuesday 15th and Thursday 17th, 5 pm – 8 pm).
The Committee is planning an event with all ages in mind. It is our hope to involve as many MNW and/or Community organizations/clubs, including Ladybugs, Tennis, MNW Marlins, MNW Grillers, etc., as our new recreation center is for EVERYONE in MNW.
We want to start the event with a bike parade at 10 a.m., just like the 4th of July bike parade of years’ past. Children will decorate bikes at home, prior to the parade. Wagons, tricycles, scooters, etc, can also be decorated. The parade will begin at Doerre and be led by a Volunteer Fire Department fire truck. It will continue down Theiss Mail Rt to the Community Center.
We will hold the ceremony soon after the bike parade ends.
Please check back here as more details are assembled. If you comment on the post you will be included in updates by email. We will have an email to subscribed users on the Thursday before the event with final details.
The Memorial Northwest Ladybugs
resume their meetings this month for the 2019-2020 calendar year. Gloria
Hemeyer will lead our club as President of the garden club.
The Ladybugs’ September meeting will be held on September 25 with Tony Huffman. He will give us some tips on floral arranging
techniques centering on “Fall Floral Designs”.
Judging for
Yard of the Month begins this month. Please read the article, “What Does it Take to Get Yard of the
Month?” for information on how your yard can win the Yard of the Month
award.
We are
expecting another busy and fun-filled year with the Ladybugs. Many fun and
interesting programs and trips are planned for the coming months.
Our October trip
is on October 16. We are touring the historic and beautifully landscaped
Glenwood Cemetery located on
Washington overlooking Buffalo Bayou. Developed in 1871, it was the first
professionally designed cemetery in the city and served as an entertainment
attraction in the 1880s. Howard Hughes, Gene Tierney and Bob McNair are some of
the famous people buried there.
The Ladybugs always welcome guests
and new members. We would love to meet
you, if you are interested. If you would
like information about joining the Ladybug Garden Club, call Membership Chairman, Kaye Neiss, at 281-253-7220 or email klneiss@sbcglobal.net.
Water well but less
often. With shorter days and
cooler nights – begin to reduce the amount of water applied as needed. Avoid
watering in the evenings if possible to prevent fungal diseases. It’s
time to feed your lawn to get it recovered from Summer. Watch for Chinch bug
damage and brownpatch and treat it ASAP with the appropriate product. If
you’re not sure what’s happening in your grass, bring in samples and pictures
to the nursery, or email me at sherriharrah@yahoo.com and I’ll be happy to help diagnose it for you.
In the flowerbeds
Refresh your flowerbeds
and containers: It’s time for snapdragons, dianthus, mums,
petunias, lobelia, crotons & more. This is my favorite time to plant
flowers!!! Our Fall flowers, for the most part, will last through the
Winter!!! You get so much bang for your buck this time of year!!!
In the veggie garden
It’s time to start your Fall vegetable
garden. Early September is your last chance to get tomatoes and peppers in the
ground.
Cool-season vegetables such as these can be planted directly in the garden from seed or transplants.
cauliflower
broccoli
brussels sprouts
cabbage
kale
mustard
lettuce, and kohlrabi can be planted September through January, look for seeds or transplants to add to your garden.
Maintain watering on newly planted seeds and transplants. Do not rely on your sprinkler system!!!! Get out the hose and hand water the first 2 weeks after planting.
Hummingbirds: Migrating hummingbirds can be found at
your feeders and natural nectar sources. Keeping feeders clean, filled, and in
a shady area will encourage visitors
