VILLAGE INDEPENDENCE FESTIVAL
SATURDAY JULY 4TH
The Fourth falls on a Saturday this year, so make plans to attend the Villages Independence Festival. As Mayor- Chair this year of the VIF, I want to extend a special invitation to all Hedwig residents to participate in this year’s parade and festival. Suzanne Greene’s art class at Spring Branch Middle School has designed the Volunteer T-shirts this year.

The Festival focuses on family, neighbors and patriotism and is free to all attendees. Therefore, the success of the Festival relies heavily on donations of money, items and volunteers.
The Festival begins with a parade at 9:00 a.m., from Memorial Church of Christ, 900 Echo Lane to the Memorial Drive Baptist Church grounds at 325 North Piney Point Road (the site of the Festival). Parade participants may ride in their decorated cars, on bicycles or skates, or in wagons. The parade is followed by games, food, entertainment and visiting until 1:00 p.m.
The VIF Steering Committee asks that you consider two additional things:
First, we need volunteers! Please email steve.peters@amegybank.com to volunteer at least one hour of your time. Over 360 volunteers are required to make this event happen.
Second, please consider donating a few dollars to help defray the costs of the Festival.
Nearly half of the money is budgeted and provided by the six Memorial Villages; the balance comes from donations by residents, vendors and service providers in and to the Villages. Your tax-deductible gift of $25, $50 or $100, and/or your assistance with obtaining vendor donations will help to ensure that there is plenty of fun and food. Make your check payable to Villages Independence Festival and mail it to the following address: 11977 Memorial Drive, Houston, Texas 77024. Hope to see you there.
