We couldn't have asked for any better weather to enjoy an Egg Hunt with our neighbors.

It was great to see smiling, happy faces.

Our buddy waiting patiently at Proctor.

A cute little family enjoying the morning together.

There was a beautiful cake at the park. A really nice neighbor made it for everyone to share. The kids would stand in front of it, go into a trance, and just stare for a while. I will get the cake info. when Mrs. Pam gives it to me.

Our sweet Mrs. Pam. She is the park manager at Proctor. She does a great job serving our neighborhood and our community. Thank her when you see her please.

These two little guys are just learning the ropes when it comes to charging for eggs.

Simple fun.

And the reason why the kids were there....CANDY. Thank you to all who donated goodies and/or time to make this activity a success.

Please keep supporting POSITIVE activities like this in our neighborhood. The most important thing when it comes down to it.....is that we take care and watch out for our neighbors, strengthen our bond as a neighborhood/community, and have a wonderful time living here together.

New Friends

2009-01-11T08:37:00.000-08:00

Hi neighbors,

I don't know if any of you heard about the family in our neighborhood that lost their mother to cancer last year. They found out she had cancer and within 6 months or so she passed away.

They have a 16 year old boy who is really sweet. He has no physical limitations. You may have met Alex at the park. Mentally, he acts like he is a 5 year old boy. He's a really fun, kind boy.

Well we were wondering if maybe any of you neighbors ever have a couple of hours of free time on the weekends, maybe Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Who has time these days, huh?

But it would be nice to let the dad get a break from being with his son allllllll the time. He is a sweet dad. And loosing your wife and having to be in charge of a special needs child full-time all of a sudden has to be pretty tough right now.

He said it would be fun to go to Half-Price books for a little while on his own. Our family has offered to play with Alex for a couple of hours this month. It probably would be great for the dad to feel like he has friends in the neighborhood, too. He is a really nice man.

Would anyone else be willing to make a new friend(s) and help this family once in a while. It would be a special token of friendship.

E-mail friendsofproctorplaza@yahoo.com if you are interested in helping.

Thanks neighbors!!!!

PAC Plans for the Future...

2008-05-15T18:02:00.001-07:00

..
The Park Advisory Committee (PAC) has been thinking and planning about upcoming events as well as some updates we are looking into for Proctor Plaza.

Here are some ideas we have...let us know if you are interested in helping the PAC realize these ideas and activities.

Please suggest to us any ideas you may have for our park and activities you might think our neighborhood and community would enjoy.

POSSIBLE UPCOMING ACTIVITIES -

We have the ability to continue growing into a really amazing community, even more so than we are now. Can you imagine Live Music Nights at Proctor. Kind of like what we did for the Fall Festival with people and the security that was provided, while listening and dancing to really cool live music!

We would also like to ask the Parks and Recreation and corporate/local donors for a projector and screen for Movie Nights at the park. We could bring our blankets, popcorn, favorite soda pop and watch a fun movie together.

Also can you imagine running OR walking, for those of you who like to have a more "detailed" look at the scenery, together with your neighbors at Norhill's Friends of Proctor Plaza Neighborhood 5k Run/Walk. How fun to see all of our neighbors out there having a good time together. Can you imagine what this would do for our neighborhood? It would do so many great things. It would all have to be carefully planned and funded.

We are willing to make it happen....are you?

These activities are only possible if neighbors VOLUNTEER and donate monetarily. We can figure out how to get these things donated, but the community has to be involved and motivated to make it happen.

We are also looking to have donated: new landscaping for the park. Some pretty bushes, flowers and plants for those of you who like to walk yourselves and/or your dogs. Possibly turning the dirt in the baseball field...it's as solid as a rock almost.

We would love to have donated a couple of new playground pieces to the old repertoire for the kids.

Maybe some kiddie hoops under the plaza such as this one...

What would also be fun? HEB donated to Montie Park, the park across Main Street in the Brookesmith neighborhood, a small water playground for the kids. We have been a couple of times and it's really fun. There were people and kids enjoying themselves.

Wouldn't that be fun for the kids in this neighborhood? We could have that at Proctor. The city of Houston has several water playgrounds around the area.

Provided by the City of Houston website: "The Houston Parks and Recreation Department’s water playgrounds provide an engaging and interactive fun activity year-round for children, especially during the hot summer months. Water playgrounds have distinct advantages over swimming pools in that they are cost effective, low maintenance, and water-play activities extend well beyond normal pool season. Water playgrounds are controlled using a timer and touch-sensor. The timer is set for 12 hours of water activation, and the touch-sensor turns on the water for a two to three minute cycle."
Adult supervision recommended. No lifeguards are on duty.

Can you imagine how much safe, simple fun we could have in our little community.

Would you like to be a part of these exciting ideas?

...
Then please consider donating your time and resources to our neighborhoods future....

Do you have any suggestions or comments? Let us hear from you!

We are looking forward to being one of the best urban neighborhoods in the nation.

Spring Showers Bring May Flowers!

2008-05-05T16:48:00.000-07:00

Cinco de Mayo

Well even though it poured all day today our Cinco De Mayo Celebration wasn't a total wash out!

We celebrated with musical games and cupcakes. We played musical chairs and enjoyed playing with our friends on a wet day.

----------------------------

Nia Move Experience

Wednesday we will have Nia Moves at the 11:30 a.m. Wednesday morning Play Group.

It is fun when Nia Moves comes to the Park! The price to join in with Nia Moves is just $5 per family.

The rest of the park and center is free.

Good Morning

2008-04-30T06:12:00.000-07:00

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

This morning we will be meeting for the Wednesday morning Play Group at around 11:00 a.m. I'm sure there will be plenty of kids at the park enjoying this beautiful weather. Enjoy the park anytime though!

-----------------------------------

Please join us this Monday, May 5th, for a little Cinco De Mayo celebration.

Please volunteer if you would like to bring some snacks to share. We will visit and have some enjoyable music to listen to with our friends at the park.

----------------------------------

We are hoping to have a little something for Mom's in the month of May. We will give you details as we finalize planning.

---------------------------------

We have lots of activities in the works that will, we hope, bring together our neighborhood and community. Keep checking on what's going on at Proctor.

Have a great week!

Hop over to Wednesday morning playgroup!

2008-04-09T08:29:00.001-07:00

There will be somebunny special at the park this morning for story time and "surprise" 11:00 a.m.

Kids Safety and Fingerprint Kits

2008-04-07T07:36:00.000-07:00

The Houston Police Department will be at Proctor Plaza to get your child's fingerprints. You will have these records for the protection of your child. The police use fingerprints to help bring missing children home, and police departments across the country recommend that parents keep records of their children’s fingerprints along with certain other information.

Please contact Pam Foote at 713-862-6907 for further details.

Thank you neighbors!

--------------------------------

Preparing a Fingerprint Kit:
http://www.essortment.com/family/childfingerprin_sivx.htm#

Any fingerprint kit should include more than just a fingerprint record. Most importantly, it should have space where you can keep a recent photo of your child; this photo should clearly show your child’s facial features. There should also be space to record identifying information about your child, such as distinguishing marks, medical history, and your child’s description.

In addition to recording fingerprints, the kit should offer a way to keep a sample of your child’s DNA. Many commercial kits include a cheek swab with a container to store it, but this kind of DNA sample is not necessary. Instead, the kits distributed by police departments usually direct parents to save a sample of their child’s hair. The hair strands saved must include the follicle, or root (this will appear as a small lump at the end of the hair), and can be pulled from your child’s hairbrush. Enclose the hair in a clean white piece of paper, then place the folded paper in a plastic bag and keep it with the kit.

Finally, there should be space where you can note down the medical offices which have your child’s full medical and dental records, should these be needed by police.

Once you have assembled the kit, maintaining it is important. As mentioned above, fingerprints of young children will need to be repeated when they are older. The photograph kept with the records should also be updated quite frequently, two or three times a year. Each new photo should be of good quality, not distorted or fuzzy. Every time you update the photo, check over the information recorded in the kit and update it if anything has changed. Keep the kit in a safe place, but make sure it will be accessible in the event of an emergency.

2008-04-02T06:53:00.000-07:00

Join us for a Nia Tots creative movement experience this morning, Wednesday, at 11 am at Proctor Park! $5 per family.

See you at and around the park neighbors! Have a great week!

Have a great day!

2008-03-25T19:13:00.000-07:00

It's definitely the time to be outdoors here in Texas.

We have been gone since before Easter and didn't get to tell everyone Happy Easter. Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend.

We are working on getting the tennis courts lights on at night again. The lights have been out since there was a big light fuse blow out at the park a month ago. The park is working on that. Notice the baseball lights have been on Monday's and Wednesday's....baseball season - play ball!

There have been so many people out and about.

Get to know your neighbors and keep enjoying the weather while ya can!

Spring Forward...

2008-03-17T08:10:00.001-07:00

We hope everyone has an enjoyable Spring Break this week - or when ever yours is, if you get one this month.

There will NOT be an official activity at the park for this Wednesday Play Date at 11:00 a.m. because of spring break. But please enjoy the park and friends at the park any time! Mrs. Pam will be there after noon so there should be access to the restrooms and water fountain inside.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Egg Hunt. I'm not sure what the count is yet but we had at least a couple hundred or more people there. We had a fun time! The kids kept busy with face-paint, a big parachute, musical chairs, dancing, snow cones and playing with friends.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered in some way....especially the teen volunteers who did a lot of helping on Saturday during the event. We have great friends, a great neighborhood, and a great park.

Oh What a Beautiful Day!

2008-03-11T18:38:00.001-07:00

Haven't you been loving this beautiful, sunny weather?

Please join us tomorrow for 11:00 a.m. Park Day. You can show up earlier or later. We will have story time around 11:00 by the Nature Discovery Center (all about insects):

- Thank you to those who came to Wednesday's day Play Group. Ms. Pam had the firemen there and they even did a puppet show for the kids. Everyone ate yummy treats and had a great time. Please join the day playgroup every Wednesday at 11:00.

- We hope to do more fun things as a community like the really fun Fall Festival we had last year. We hope to get that funded again for us! If not, we will have to build our budget for that throughout the year.

We have a lot to look forward to in our little community with a BIG heart!

Welcome Friends!

There are always plenty of fun things going on a Proctor Plaza. Some of the kids right now are taking free tennis lessons at Proctor every Monday and Wednesday afternoons at 4:15 p.m.

Baseball and t-ball will be coming up along with soccer. If you would like your 4 to 12 year old children to be involved with these local sports activities....please see Mrs. Pam at the park.

Please remember Proctor Park is open to all the public. So long as people are being respectful of the park they are allowed to join us. Please report any interesting or non-appropriate things to Mrs. Pam or call 713-247-4400 (HPD Central Patrol Division) or 311 to get police assistance.
