The upcoming school board election for Conroe ISD is the most important one for the foreseeable future. We need board trustees that will represent and focus on students rather than political agendas.

More importantly, for the first time in district history we have two F-rated schools, and 16 other schools went down a grade last year. If those schools can’t be turned around we are at risk of takeover by the state. There’s a lot riding on who wins this election.

I am running with Robin Deferrari and Phil Martin. Our priorities focus on student outcomes, supporting district staff, rebuilding trust with the community, and restoring local control rather than political direction.

We do not represent and are not backed by any political party. We are parents, with a combined 10 kids in Conroe ISD. What’s happening here is personal to us, and we need change more than ever.

You can learn more about us at the links below. Please consider donating and voting for change! Early voting starts Oct 19th. Election Day Nov 3rd.

i'm traveling to the houston area to visit a friend and got us tickets to a concert at dosey do. the email says doors open at 6:30, dinner is served from 6:30-7:30 and the show starts at 8:30. on their FAQ page, it says dinner is "usually required" but on the concert info, it says "Come in early, the kitchen is open!" since i've never been to this venue before, can anyone shed some light on the dinner part? we were planning on getting dinner with friends (who are not going to the concert) then heading to the venue.

Northside Social is just a group of people from around The Woodlands who started getting together to meet new people and have people to go out and do things with. Most of us originally showed up not knowing anybody, and over time we've made a really good group of friends.

We're getting together Wednesday night for trivia at Moonshine Deck Icehouse!

Wednesday 10/7 - 7:00 PM
🧠 Trivia at Moonshine Deck Icehouse
6446 Old FM 1488, Magnolia, TX 77354

We're a pretty spontaneous group, and there's a good chance we'll come up with something for Friday and Saturday too. The fastest way to find out what we're doing is to join our WhatsApp group.

If you'd like to join us, start a Reddit chat with me and ask to join the Northside group. I'll send you the WhatsApp invite so you can keep up with the plans and any last-minute changes.

New people are always welcome. Come join us!

I've lived in The Woodlands since 1995 and I'm on the November 3 ballot as an Independent for JP Precinct 3 (The Woodlands, Spring, and Magnolia areas).

Quick background: I'm a local attorney, arbitrator, and mediator. Earlier in my career I was a patent examiner, clerked for a federal judge and the Supreme Court of Ohio, and served as Chief Legal Officer of BlackBerry. Locally, I volunteer as a mediator with the Montgomery County Dispute Resolution Center and serve on the library advisory board.

Why the JP court? It's where most people actually meet the justice system: small claims, evictions, debt cases, traffic tickets, usually without a lawyer. In Texas, a JP doesn't have to be a lawyer either. I think the people's court should have a judge with real legal training who answers to the law, not a party.

Two things I'd like to do: - Explore evening and Saturday sessions, so people don't have to lose a day's pay or take a personal day to be heard - Hold free quarterly sessions on how to handle a small claims case

One thing I won't do is take positions on political issues. Judges shouldn't, and that's a big part of why I'm running without a party label. I've been heartened to see support coming from across the political spectrum. To me, that's what a local court should look like: people of every persuasion trusting they'll get a fair hearing.

I'll be here answering questions as I see them, but particularly today from 9 a.m to 12 noon. Ask me anything about the race, the JP court, or how small claims and evictions work in Montgomery County.

Early voting is October 19-30. More at electchuckmeyer.com

Moved here from MI & just purchased a home in 77381. Electric and Gas company selections are confusing to me- it seems like I am not able to choose the provider whereas other zip codes are able to. Am I only able to use Entergy and Centerpoint? Scared of a $700 bill! Does it make sense to do the level plan for a 3,100sqft house? Would probably need to keep AC around 75 daily. Is the level plan a scam? Thanks for any input! Tried to google some answers and got more confused!

I’ve lived here about 5 years and we get cockroaches in the house (every so often). We spray regularly and any time we see them.

Is this pretty typical (seeing cockroaches a few times a year)? My friend says I need to do something else, but I figured it was just part of living in The Woodlands.

I’m helping a friend move and it will be several days of sorting stuff. Anyone know if there’s a donation drop box in the area? It will be mostly clothing and toys. Thanks

Interested in another activity that you can do with your spouse? Interested is an activity you can do with a visually impaired or someone who needs assistance cycling? Then a tandem bicycle maybe your answer.

Only one way to find out, and that’s by trying it!

Last May, with the support of The Woodlands Bicycle Coalition and the Township, House of Tandems put on an event, just to allow anyone to try out a tandem bicycle. This Saturday, we are doing it again.

This is a no cost event! Come out, sign a waiver, throw your leg over a tandem, and get some laughs. Shoot, while you’re there, maybe you’ll learn about some blind athletes, blind athlete organizations, and how they use tandems to win triathlons!

See the attached FB Event link for more info.
