1GO TO OUR COMMUNITY WEB SITE: www.mygreatwood.comGreatwood News The publication of the Greatwood Community Association, Inc. January 2014 Avoiding Conflict with the Neighbors We all CAN get along. The key?
Communication. It’s often the best way to prevent and resolve conflict before it reaches the legal system. You don’t have to be friends or spend time together to achieve a peaceful coexistence, but you should try to be a good neighbor and follow these tips: Say hello. At the mailbox, while walking the dog or when you see a moving van arrive, introduce yourself. Learn your neighbors’ names and regularly offer a friendly greeting.
Provide a heads up. If you’re planning a construction project, altering your landscaping or hosting a big party, contact your neighbors beforehand.
Do unto others. Treat neighbors, as you would like to be treated. Be considerate about noise from vehicles, stereos, pets, etc.Know your differences. Make an effort to understand each other. Differences in age, ethnic background and years in the neighborhood can lead to different expectations or misunderstandings.
Consider the view. Keep areas of your property that others can see presentable.
Appreciate them. If the neighbors do something you like, let them know. They’ll be pleased you noticed, and it’ll be easier to talk later if they do something you don’t like.
Stay positive. Most people don’t try to create problems. If a neighbor does something that irritates you, don’t assume it was deliberate.
Talk honestly. Tolerance is important, but don’t let a real irritation go because it seems unimportant or hard to discuss. Let your neighbors know if something they do annoys.
Be respectful. Talk directly to your
Tolerance is important, but don’t let a real irritation go because it seems unimportant or hard to discuss. Let your neighbors know if something they do annoys.
Be respectful. Talk directly to your neighbors if there’s a problem. Gossiping with others can damage relationships and create trouble.
Remain calm. If a neighbor mentions a problem they have with you, thank them for the input. You don’t have to agree or justify any behavior. Wait for any anger to subside before responding.
Listen carefully. When discussing a problem, try to understand your neighbor’s position and why he or she feels that way.
Take your time. Take a break to think about what you and your neighbor have discussed. Arrange to finish the conversation at another time.

and hello to 2014 at the City of Sugar Land’s New Year’s Eve on the Square celebration on Tuesday, Dec. 31, at Sugar Land Town Square. To ensure visitors of all ages have a chance to celebrate, the evening will be divided into two segments. A children’s celebration beginning at 7 p.m. will feature music and entertainment from Radio Disney on the main stage, a bubble artist, LED balloon artists and other great street performers roaming City Walk Drive. The celebration will close with a spectacular fireworks show at 9 pm. The party resumes at 9:30 p.m. with the New Year’s Eve celebration where alcohol will be available for purchase to responsible adults until 1 a.m. A brand-new, never-before-seen 3D video projection mapping show with fireworks is scheduled for this year’s midnight presentation. Illuminated statuesque “Light Beings” will seem to glide along the columns of Sugar Land City Hall while elaborate cirque jugglers and stilt walkers entertain the crowd within the plaza. An entertainment staple in New Orleans’s French Quarter, the Dragon Masters interactive comedy team will keep everyone laughing while Flipping Out, a stunt trampoline group from Florida, will amaze the crowd with their air-catching moves. This is a free event with parking available at both the Texas and Lonestar Garages. There will be additional parking at Mercer Stadium, 16403 Lexington Blvd., with a free shuttle service to Town Square from 6:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Sugar Creek Baptist Church is sponsoring this year’s Get Home Safely program –people who identify themselves as designated drivers will receive free soft drinks and water throughout the evening from any beverage station at the event.

Now we do the same thing with our children and grandchildren. Some of our Greatwood neighbors produce some truly beautiful and spectacular Christmas lighting for the rest of us to enjoy.
Here in Greatwood we have an annual Christmas Lighting Contest and for the past 10 years, Shelley Buechner has organized this event, gotten judges, gotten signs to indicate the winners and posted the results on the community web site. She has done this because she really loves the season and wanted to do something for her neighborhood. For the past two years, it is Shelley wh o was also responsible for hanging wreaths on most of our neighborhoo d entrances. After this year, she has decided to pass the event on to someone else.
On behalf of the residents of Greatwood, your HOA Board wishes to thank Shelley for the wonderful job she has done.
THANKS, Shelley!

Our annual program night will feature The Morris Brothers: Social Super Heroes. They’re hip, they’re hot, they’re cool, and they’re nerds?! That’s right, but they believe N.E.R.D. stands for a Never Ending Radical Dude. With their ofϐbeat appearance, the Morris Brothers capture the attention of young and old alike. They may look like nerds, with their taped glasses, pen-stuffed pockets, and less than stylish clothes, bu t they believe they are “Superheroes” on a mission to save the world. Only one thing is certain… kids love them! They will be presenting their ϐifty minute Bully Buster presentation in a humorous way via music, skits, comedy, and audience participation.

Originally it was a poem that was put to music and then “tweake d” to the version that we know today. It became a popular song to sing on New Year’s Eve when Guy Lombardo played it at midnight durin g a live radio broadcast.
So in tradition, as we ring in the New Year…For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we’ll take a c up of kindness yet, for auld lang syne (for old time’s sake) .
