The residents and team members of The Forum at Memorial Woods are very appreciative of the service and protection provided by the Houston Police Department. Our community hosted a Police Appreciation Breakfast to thank all Houston Police officers for their hard work and commitment displayed every day. We were honored to have Houston's acting Chief of Police Martha Montalvo, Captain J.B. Dale from the Midwest Division and several Police Officers from different divisions join us that morning. At The Forum at Memorial Woods we are committed to continued outreach to benefit our senior community and the city of Houston.

June 2016 Nationally Recognized Etiquette Authority “Miss Manners,” Annie Cater presented her rendition of “Proper Etiquette” and “Mannerly Tea Techniques.” This afternoon high-tea catered by local Houston business "Your Cup of Tea" was true British Tea & Crumpets style and highlighted the tradition of tea time and the kind of fancy-schmancy social affair where one must mind her manners while delighting on crustless finger sandwiches and an array of dainty scones, cakes, macaroons and other tempting nibbles. Miss Cater, age 87, presented a presentation on the etiquette and history of tea while educating her audience as she spot lights important stories and history of women in the ‘Social History of Tea.’ Who Is Miss Manners? Mrs. Annie Cater is a nationally recognized and respected authority on etiquette “Do’s & Don’ts” in both the business and personal arenas. You probably recognize her from her appearances on OPRAH, Great Day Houston, and The Mike and Matty Show. She has also graced the stage on various NBC and ABC network appearances, was “The Lifestyle Consultant for Tiffany & Co.,” and a columnist for My Table Magazine. For more than 40 years, she has helped men, women, and young children alike become more self-assured, organized and mannerly.

In honor of the hot summer heat The Forum hosted an all-day South of the Border Fiesta earlier this week. We served authentic Mexican cuisine during our lunch and dinner hours, and had plenty of chips and salsa for everyone to enjoy. During Happy Hour, many people were on their feet swinging to the music as the energetic Mariachi Band played classics like “La Cucaracha”, “Besame Mucho” and several others. The top shelf margaritas may have had something to do with the dancing, but either way the residents of The Forum had many reasons to celebrate, and celebrate, they did!

Beautiful summer days, perfect for playing with your pooch on the patio. We have enjoyed 26 years of being a pet friendly community and now we have a place to really enjoy. The fenced pet park is located on the North West side of the Forum campus, near the sidewalk loop around the building and lots of shade for two or four legged friends. Residents spent the opening celebrations snacking on hot Dogs and corn Dogs, while our pets played with each other. Professional photographers took portraits of dogs and owners so we could remember this moment forever.
