Are you wondering which type of tree to plant to best withstand the next hurricane, grow the most quickly, provide the best shade, or give the most beautiful fall foliage?

In an effort to make as much information as possible available to neighbors whose homes flooded during Hurricane Ike about FEMA “buy-out” options, I have arranged a meeting for Idylwood residents with representatives from the Harris County Flood Control District and the City of Houston.

Have you got photos from Hurricane Ike and its aftermath? Did you snap some pictures at last Friday's Gus Wortham Golf Classic? Do you have any other photos relevant to Idylwood that you want to share?

Garden Club would like to invite you to our next meeting, this Saturday at 10:00 a.m., held at Dianne Kopfensteiner's home, 6636 Fairfield.

Remember that Idylwood's By-Laws specifically prohibit political signs in yards until 60 days prior to the election.

Texas only is testing a pilot program to hold National Night Out in October rather than August due to the heat, humidity and mosquito problems prevalent in August. Idylwood is participating again this year and you don't want to miss out. Here's what's in store....
