If you ever see anything unusual, or illegal going on at Proctor Plaza please, the neighborhood cops have told us NOT to HESITATE to call (713) 884-3131 for an officer to come out to and attend to any matter. Proctor is a safe, fun community park and we will keep it that way. So everyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

Norhill neighbors we need your HELP! Please join us and invite you neighbors so we can be in the know of what is going on, being done, and what WE can do for our neighborhood.

Help our local police and neighbors kick-off the:

Keep Houston Safe Program In the Heights

with Chief of Police Harold Hurrt, Houston Police Department Command Staff Members, Central Division, and the Mounted Patrol Unit, congresswoman Shiela Jackson Lee, and other city council members from the City of Houston.

Keep Houston Safe is a citywide collaborative partnership between citizens, businesses and the Houston Police Department. The main focus is crime prevention and the implementation of proactive crime prevention efforts aimed at the elimination of criminal incidents, rather than responding to them after they occurred.

New Friends

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!!!!
