For most kids, May 28th will mark the end of the school year and the beginning of Summer 2009. It's a time for them to explore their surroundings, have fun, and nourish their minds with activities that have nothing to do with schooling. For parents, it's a time to explore hobbies, stop to take in the outdoor weather, and where one must do their best to keep their kid out of trouble and entertained. So, as many adults are trying to figure out what to do with the kiddos and themselves, I suggest to look little further than what the Houston Parks & Recreation Department has in place for this Summer at Selena Perez- Denver Harbor Park. As this is the only park in DH with a Community Center, there will be a good amount of going ons for children, adults, and Seniors. Here is a breakdown.

ReplyDeleteIt has been brought to my attention that you a may a volunteer who distrubutes food out to the seriors once a month. This person(s)are actullay stealing the food along with her daughter. seniors stand a line to receive food, just to be turn away cause there is "no more" and told to come back next month. This is wrong!! folks come out needing food to eat not to be turn away. Sad to say this is happening, but it is.. Martha Cavazos and her daughter Maggie, have contiue to load her surburan, and that is why there is no food.. i will also be notifify the proper authorities. thank you
