Caroling in the park – December 18th
Arno Bommer and wife Erin Dietsch invite all Fonn Villas families and their friends to join them for the neighborhood's 7th annual Christmas sing-along. The caroling will be held at the gazebo in Bendwood Park on Sunday, December 18, from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. Come early and enjoy some pre-caroling treats. Guests are welcome to bring their own holiday specialties. The rain date is Monday evening. Arno and Erin will play French horns and provide lyrics for everyone to sing along with traditional carols and children’s favorites.
Holy Spirit carolers on the way
On the afternoon of Monday, December 12th, parts of Fonn Villas will be visited by a troop of Girl Scout Brownies from Holy Spirit Episcopal School, located just around the corner from us. The girls will be singing Christmas Carols and hoping to solicit donations of canned goods for the Houston Food Bank.
Fitness Station – Belated thanks
Your forgetful Fonn Villas News editor neglected to mention in the last edition our thanks to Vic and Nancy Condrey for donating the border limestone around the new fitness station. Thank you!
Alf and Lee Klaveness
Alf, 97, passed away recently; Lee, 96, passed away in March. Alf & Lee moved to Fonn Villas in 1962. Lee was a Garden Club enthusiast and Alf was a Fonn Villas Civic Association pioneer and long time supporter. Alf was instrumental in making sure that the part of Beltway 8 which passes by our neighborhood is below ground.
For the past few years they have been living in Florida, while maintaining their home here.
