We realize you have a choice so we appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.Building clients for life while giving back to the community in order to make a difference!
as we head into a very special season, Christmas time, i’d like to take this opportunity to wish each of you a very merry Christmas and Happy new year. it seems like just yesterday we were kicking off another decade as we embarked on 2010. it flew by quickly. many memories were made in 2010; many friends, family members and clients come to mind. this time of year is a time of celebration for many. Christmas can be a tough time for those that lost love ones, are going through hard times or don’t have family close by. reach out to those around you that may need a friendly smile, a hug, or just a listening ear. giving back is something that is important to many of us. Following are several ways that you can volunteer or give back in your local community.
The Salvation Army – offers the following 4 options for volunteer involvement during the lead-up to Christmas: (1500 Austin; Houston 77002 Contact: Cindy Grove 832-201-8018 [email protected])• secret santa Warehouse - Volunteers come to the salvation army’s giant toyshop and help sort and package
gifts for underprivileged children and seniors. groups and individuals alike are encouraged to come out during november and december to help santa get ready for Christmas day. Volunteers must be 16 or older. Light snacks and beverages will be provided for volunteers by the salvation army. Volunteer slots are available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., monday – Friday and some saturdays.
• Host a toy drive - Help the salvation army provide gifts to underprivileged children this Christmas and col-lect new unwrapped toys. get creative and decorate a box with wrapping paper to make your own collection container. Please contact the salvation army about gift ideas and to get information about when and where to drop off your collected items. additionally, potential donors are also invited to participate in the KHOu spiritof texas toy drive benefiting the salvation army. starting thanksgiving day, new, unwrapped gifts can be dropped off at any randall’s store or at the Channel 11 studio located at 1945 allen Parkway.
• mall angel tree - starting on november 20, you can visit one of six Houston area shopping malls and adopt a child or senior from one of our mall angel trees. you can shop while you are there and place your gifts under the tree.
• adopt a Kettle -Come with your family, friends, church or organization and adopt a kettle location and help the salvation army raise funds for the salvation army’s Christmas programs. On the weekdays or saturdays of your choice, you’ll station yourself next to a red donation kettle at a mall, supermarket, or store in your preferred area and ring a classic Christmas bell to invite passersby to make donations. (if you like to sing or play an instrument, you’re certainly encouraged to exercise that talent and transform your volunteer shift into a “gig”!) assignments are available november through december.
Houston Food Bank (3811 Eastex Fwy; Houston, Texas 77026 Contact: Matthew Marcinek (713)547-8608 [email protected])• annual share your Holidays Food drive. this drive is designed to reach portions of the population ordinarily
overlooked or underserved by traditionally organized food drives. it will utilize a large number of volunteers, with assignments falling into 4 main categories:
• Phone Bank Volunteers (12/6/10 through 12/11/10): these volunteers will be stationed at the Houston Food Bank (address above) these volunteers will register clients for food donations by phone.
• Food Package Building Volunteers (11/29/10 through 12/17/10, weekdays except for tuesdays): these volunteers will put together food packages in preparation of the Food distribution event on 12/18/10 (see below). these packages are designed to support a family of 4 for 3 days. this activity will also be based at the Houston Food Bank.
• Food drive Collection (Friday, 12/18/10): this will take place at the Channel 13 studios, at 3310 Bissonnet, Houston tX 77005 (just west of Buffalo speedway). Volunteers will accept food from the general public, organize it and put together food packages intended to support a family of 4 for 3 days. shifts will be available between 4:30 a.m. and 7 p.m.
City Wide Club of Clubs (4715 Caroline (77004) Call:(713) 752-2582 )• Christmas eve Feast. Will take place the morning of Christmas eve (december 24) at the downtown george r. Brown Convention Center. 35,000 to 40,000
persons are expected to attend. Volunteers are needed to help with setup, serving the meals, distribution of canned goods to the needy, cleanup, etc. shift times are flexible and can be arranged for almost anytime between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Volunteers are invited to partake in the meal. teenagers are welcome.
the real estate season tends to slow down in december even though there are those that are trying to get in their home before Christmas, before the next school semester and finally so they can qualify for the Homestead exemption. if you are planning to put your home on the market to sell, January is when activity starts to pick up again leading into the spring selling season. With the new year brings less pricing pressure from the Builders year end clearance sales as well. allow me the privilege of helping you sell your home. Call today to schedule a Complimentary Comparative market analysisto show you a range of your homes value. i also offer a Free Local move and a Free Professional stager! Please call for details and restrictions of this offer. if you are in the market to buy a home, January tends to offer many new listings to choose from. i realize you have a choice and appreciate the opportunity to assist with finding your new dream home and/or selling your current home! Your Neighbor, Rebekah Snipp

Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital partners with the district’s athletic program to provide medical and financial support and services to more than 5,000 student athletes. This collaboration includes providing physicians at the football games, offering annual athletic physicals, Saturday morning injury clinics and continuing education opportunities for the athletic trainers and coaching staff.
Theo Shybut, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon fellowship-trained in sports medicine, is the team physician for Humble ISD with responsibility for Atascocita, Humble and Summer Creek high schools.
The district’s athletic trainers are enthusiastic about the benefits of the partnership since Dr. Shybut began attending games. “This partnership truly benefits our community’s student athletes, allowing them to compete safely while preventing and minimizing injury and illness,” said Amy Walker, head athletic trainer for Humble High School.
“I feel that our athletes are in excellent hands with Dr. Shybut,” said Sara Hansen, head athletic trainer for Summer
Creek High School. “His care and concern for our students is surpassed only by his willingness and enthusiasm to assist us in every way possible.”
“My hat is off to Dr. Shybut and the entire Memorial Hermann Northeast sports medicine team.” added Mike Romig, head athletic trainer for Atascocita High School. “They have done a great job watching the players, giving them thorough evaluations and, if needed, coming up with a treatment plan that will help them get on the road to recovery quickly.”
Dr. Shybut shares duties with two primary care physicians affiliated with Memorial Hermann Northeast: Doan Do, M.D., and Ismael Diaz, M.D., who are both board certified in family medicine.
“As an orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist and an athlete myself, I understand how important athletic trainers are to any team,” said Dr. Shybut. “Athletic trainers make sure the players are healthy and help them to be the best they can be. Our goal is to provide the same excellence and enthusiasm in healthcare that these athletes exhibit on the playing field.”
