- The Houston Fire Department and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Care Van have teamed up again in 2009 to offer free childhood immunizations at neighborhood fire stations. This is the perfect time to get your child up-to-date on their immunizations for school and avoid the rush before school resumes after the summer.
- The immunizations are FREE. All you need to bring is your children, your identification and your children's immunization records.
- The Heights immunization location is Fire Station 11, 460 T. C. Jester
- Visit the Houston Fire Department website at http://www.houstonfire.org/ for more information. Any questions? Contact the HFD Public Affairs office at 713-495-7900.
- doxita is a traveling festival of documentary films that are under 40 minutes in length. The program, comprised of approximately ninety minutes of film, represents a wide variety of documentary – domestic and foreign, super-short and longer format, serious and funny. These filmmakers have crafted beautiful, and sometimes humorous, portraits of their subjects’ daily work through labor including Chinese jade mining, organic bread making in Edinburgh, Northwest US wood logging, shaved ice treats in Peru and a Pakistani tailor in Barcelona.
- Donate-what-you-can
- Location: Spacetaker, Winter Street Studios, 2101 Winter Street
- Interested in meeting some of your Heights neighbors in a relaxed situation with delicious food and friendly folks? Attend the monthly Heights Time Bank potluck! The Heights Time Bank is a time exchange system that builds community. For example, if you spend an hour doing something for a neighbor (like pet-sitting, small home repair, a guitar lesson, etc.), you earn a time dollar that you can then spend to get another neighbor to do something for you. The monthly potluck is a chance to connect with each other and meet new people.
- Location: 1133 Winston Street; 77009
- You can help keep graffiti at bay by bringing any gently used cans or buckets of latex paint, cans of spray paint, and empty (and clean!) 5-gallon buckets.

Box 70735, Houston, TX 77270-0735 and write "Graffiti Squad" on the memo line.
