November. . . Veterans
Remembrances, Voting and
Thanksgiving
As we have for many years,
November will have several activities
focused on remembering our
veterans. Please look for the specific
information inside the Newsletter
and try to attend at least one of these
events. Thanksgiving brings visits
to and from family, in many cases.
If you are going to be away, consider
using the vacation watch service from
the Sheriff ’s Department. And watch
for signs about any changed hours of
operation at the Yacht Club and the
Racquet Club/Fitness Center. The
Administrative Office will be closed
on Thanksgiving and the day after.
Turkey Trot
On Thanksgiving morning you are
once again invited to our Annual
Turkey Trot for pre-dinner exercise!
Look for additional details inside the
Newsletter.

Diseases Will Kill You.” Age-related
diseases cause 92% of American
deaths and 99% of disability in people

which, if understood, can be modified
for the better. Rick’s delicacies will be
served at noon for $15 and the free
talk will begin at 12:45 p.m. Make
reservations to assure your place.

Great Results for the Walden
Blood Drive
Walden again set a record this year
in our blood drive, contributing

Walden Market Trends
Brought to you by
WaldenHomeTeam.com
Fall is officially here! While the change of season has brought us some needed rain and cooler temperatures the local real estate
market is still hot! There were 31single-family home sales closed for the month of September. The 31 sold in September puts us at 230
sold for the year and well ahead of last year’s 192 for the same time period! The 230 sold also is just behind the pace of 232 sold
during the same time period in 2006…Walden’s most active sales year ever! Walden’s inventory of homes still stands at less than 3
months (as of 10/7/14)…if you have been waiting, now is the time to sell!! We are in the midst of a very active local market and the
only thing holding us back is a lack of inventory! There are currently only 30 move-in ready, non-waterfront homes available in
Walden. There are 27 single family homes pending to close for the month of October. Interest rates have remained low and more and
more people are moving to the area! The word is out….Walden is a great place to live! Whether you are buying or selling a home we
can help you make an informed decision. The following is MLS Walden single family home sales for the period of 9/1/2014 through
9/30/2014.

Summary of October 16th Board Meeting
Finance Committee – Carl Seidule presented the Finance
Committee report, reporting that the WCIA was ahead of
budget for September and slightly worse than 2013. The yearto-date results are better than budget and last year. The Board
approved up to $21,700 for the purchase of a replacement
truck for the 2000 deed restriction truck. The Board also
approved a $15,000 donation to MISD for the development
of baseball diamonds and soccer fields at Madeley Ranch
Elementary School.
Election Committee – Carl Seidule reported the first
Candidate Forum went well with all five candidates
participating. Election Day will be November 1, with early
voting available before then. Voting will be on the internet,
following the same approach as 2012, the last time we had an
election.
Storage Policy Amendment – The Board voted to amend the
Storage Policy to specifically prohibit BBQ grills from being
viewed from the street when not in use. Please store your BBQ
grill behind a fence or inside your garage when not being
used.

I hope when you read this article I’ve hit on all cylinders.
I’m actually writing this on August 31. Remember I have to
have my articles in one month in advance and since I was on
vacation, I’m going to have to wing it.
I hope everyone did their fertilization in October, if you didn’t
please do it now. Last month I told you to plant your mums
(dead head spent blooms to push out new blooms). Now you
can also incorporate more cool season annuals like pansies.
What the heck, add some snapdragons and dianthus to the
mix. I usually don’t have a lot of luck with my snapdragons
coming back but my dianthus are real troopers.

We live and work in Montgomery County,
so why not put your trust in a neighbor….
Bryan Williamson
With the trees shedding their leaves, don’t have your yard
guys bag them. They can either mow (mulch) them or apply
them to your flower beds. This will give you an added layer of
protection and they will decompose in time. There are a few
leaves that you do want to avoid which are pecans, live oak
and hickory as these have too much tannin (tannic acid).
If our October was mild and your potted plants are still doing
well, now is the time to consider shifting them to a more
protected area in case of extreme cold. You will also want to
reduce watering to maybe once every week or two. We tend
to over water potted plants in the winter and then wonder
why we have to replace the rotted things in the spring. You
would think we would learn our lesson. This is also the time to
turn your sprinkler system OFF. Let Mother Nature take care
of our watering.

If you need to move (transplant) azaleas or camellias you can
do it now. Make sure that you keep them moist to lessen cold
weather damage. Maintain mulch around them.
Tip of the Month:
This is a great time to plant parsley and cilantro in pots to use
for cooking during the winter. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Once again the Walden Ladies
Association blood drive in association
with MD Anderson set records for participation
and units collected. The final tally from the
October 4th event was 213 units of blood
collected (from 257 participants, of whom 44
unfortunately proved to be ineligible this year).
Although this is MD Anderson's highest tally for
any of their blood drives, we were informed that
this supply will be completely consumed within a
few days.

Thanks are due to everyone involved, especially
the donors and our volunteers. Increased
participation is reflected by the number of
appointments (203) and the number of walk-in
guests (100). The appointment increase from
previous years is attributed to an intensive
telephone solicitation process, the institution of
a dedicated Walden Blood Drive e-mail address
([email protected]), personal
contacts through Facebook and effective publicity
through local newsletters (LAW and Walden) and
media (MCN and the Conroe Courier) as well
as poster placement. Increased walk-in traffic is
attributed to the use of the Walden entrance sign
on strategic weekend days. An interesting fact
provided by MD Anderson is that 101 participants
were first time donors. Unfortunately, our own
records show that only 72% of those who made
appointments actually showed up.
The offer of free tickets to the Renaissance Festival
for participants played a huge role in the increased
attendance and we owe a debt of gratitude to
that fine organization. Thanks too to our blood
drive site volunteers, our telephone reminder
volunteers, our LAW cookie bakers, our poster
and sign placement volunteers and the fine staff of
the Walden Yacht Club. This is truly a community
effort.
