La Centerra at Cinco Ranch is hosting the Making A Mark Children’s Art Exhibit in partnership with the Katy Visual Arts and Performing Center (KVAPC). Lakemont residents are invited to come out to see the inspiring art!
Making A Mark, is the Texas Children's Cancer Center and Hematology Service's touring art exhibition presented by The Periwinkle Foundation. All the art in the exhibit was created by young people with cancer or blood diseases, and began and continues as an effort to allow expression and focus for the personal issues these children face. Some of it is very remarkable in its positive and inspiring content!
The art exhibit will be on displayed April 19 - 28 in Suite C140 of La Centerra, between Simply Cinco and Panera Bread. The art itself is collected and displayed throughout the year at the Texas Children’s Hospital, and special selections from that exhibit are sent on tour across the state.

Three Friendswood Development Company communities are among the newest to host open house weekends, where visitors can tour new and resale homes.
Lakes of Savannah, located just two miles from SH 288 in the Pearland area, Lakemont, located along the Westpark Tollway and Mason Road; and West Ranch located in the City of Friendswood - will all showcase a variety of new homes ready for move-in, decorated models and resale homes open with Realtors on site to answer questions.
The event, which began in Fairfield and has continued for years, is popular among residents and home shoppers because it gives them the opportunity to see the wide variety of homes available, talk to Realtors and new home sales professionals, and often talk to residents and find out why they are making these Friendswood Development Co. communities their home. Earlier this year, Friendswood Development Company’s north communities of Graystone Hills and Oakhurst at Kingwood joined in participating in open house events, and now its south and southwest communities will do the same.
