PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
January
I hope 2012 is starting off right for you. Spring is coming fast. Our Hi Neighbor year is half over and we are still having fun and eating well!
I am sure everyone got back into the swing of things after the holidays with all of our fun activities which our Activity Chairmen have organized. We appreciate them all!!
Please consider volunteering for our HiNeighbor Board and let our Nominating Committee hear from you. Let's keep this party going?

December
Merry Christmas!
The Holiday Season is in full swing: Decorations, music, shopping, gift wrapping and eating ~ or should I say more eating. I have a feeling this month will go by very fast. Please make time for our December luncheon at Raffa’s on the 14th. Come enjoy friends, food and Christmas music! Our Community Service will be collecting Gift Cards for the Mission; a small way to give back to those in our community who can use a little Christmas Spirit. Also, we will have our Holiday Shopping Extravaganza provided by our own members. We all have last minute gifts to get! Some of us may not have started yet! I hope Santa is very good to all of you ~ because I know you have all been very good to Hi Neighbor!

October
Thanks to all who came to our October Luncheon at Sorrento’s! It was a great success! We had 156 ladies and we filled almost the entire restaurant! The food was very good and the service was great! We thank Roberto of Sorrento’s for helping us to organize a fun event!
November we will find ourselves at Raffa’s at Kings Harbor. I am really looking forward to Bernard Pierre at the piano ~ always fun! Thanks to the Heartbeat Bears for organizing the activities for this luncheon!
I hope your Thanksgiving is full of food, family, and fun!

September
I hope you are looking forward to all the ‘away’ luncheons. It should be an interesting and fun time. October will be at Sorrento’s a new restaurant in the Kingwood area. November through May we will be dining at Raffa’s with a wonderful lake view if it would rain again.
Our Activity Groups are gearing up for an exciting year! Keep in touch by reading our newsletters and web site.
I hope everyone is enjoying their Autumn’s busy season! Holiday time is coming fast!

August
It is almost time to start our new year for Hi Neighbor. Our board is really excited about a few changes we made for the luncheons dues to circumstances beyond our control. We are making the best of a changed situation and are looking forward to new experiences. We hope you come with us and enjoy the trip!
One thing about Hi Neighbor I really appreciate is all the good friends I have made. I know so many in the Kingwood area now that it feels like a real neighborhood or a small town. I also sincerely appreciate all the activity chairmen who do so much to organize their various activities. Even if I do not get to participate in most of them I hear how much fun they are having and see how close friendships are made. There is something for everyone.
Our first New Member Coffee is Tuesday, August 30. This is a great way for ladies to come and visit and find out more about our organization. We will be having another New Member Coffee in October. Pass the word and bring someone who has not been before. They will thank you later!
Our first luncheon will be Wednesday, September 14th at the Kingwood Country Club. It starts at 11:00 am and now is the time to make a reservation. Chico‘s will be there and we all love Chico‘s!
We are also going to branch out this year with our luncheons. In October we will check out the new Sorrento Ristorante Italiano Restaurant in the Luby‘s shopping center. Even though it is new to Kingwood they have another location on Westheimer with very good reviews. Then November to May we will be celebrating our luncheons at Raffa‘s at Kings Harbor. We will have the entire restaurant to ourselves for lunch. WOW!
I hope to see you soon!
Barbara
July
I hope everyone is having a good summer. It is a busy one for me and it is good to be busy!
We did have a change in our board over the summer. Sandy Keefe our 1st Vice President and her husband are moving to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a job change. We will miss her very much and hope for her the best! Luckily we have Nancy Berggren to step in and take over! She will be a great addition to our board. We all know Nancy and know she will do a wonderful job! It is good to have so many wonderful volunteers to keep us on track!
We will be doing a new Directory this fall. We hope to get it out by the end of September. Please make sure you pay your dues by the first luncheon, September 14th to have your name in the new Directory.
At our September luncheon we will hold our annual Fashion Show with Chico’s showing us all the new styles! We will also have assigned seating at our luncheons this year thanks to Gretchen Gehring and Caprice Percle who volunteered to handle this job!
Looking forward to another great year with Hi Neighbor!
