Good Morning, Clear Lake!

Welcome to the latest edition of your local community newsletter, your go-to source for the freshest updates, events, and stories that make our Clear Lake community such a special place to live, work, and play.

In this edition, we’re bracing ourselves for potential turbulent weather as another topical cyclone brews in the Gulf, but we're also celebrating milestones with heartwarming events like the upcoming Community Blood Drive and the League City Fire Department’s annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. Business updates, local petitions, exciting opportunities for our students, and a jam-packed community calendar ensure there’s something for everyone.

So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s dive into what’s happening in Clear Lake this week!

Topical Cyclone Brewing in The Gulf

Not another one! We’re still catching our breath from Beryl, and now we have another storm brewing. We're crossing our fingers that this one passes us by, so we can enjoy yet another beautiful week in Clear Lake. In the meantime, it’s always best to stay prepared.

Help Save Lives at the Community Blood Drive

Spread the word about the upcoming blood drive on Thursday, September 12, at the League City Civic Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., organized by Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center. Each donation can save up to THREE lives, and all donors will receive a pair of special blood donor socks. Let's come together to support this crucial cause. Sign up for a time slot here

LCFD - 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb @ 9/14/24

Join the League City Fire Department for their annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. This poignant event is open to the public and will take place on Saturday, September 14, starting at 8 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Stadium, located at 2305 E. Main Street. Don’t miss the chance to pay tribute alongside our local heroes.

Street closure in Kemah causing issues for local businesses

We would like to inform you about an ongoing situation concerning several businesses and residents on and around 6th St. in Kemah. Bryan Stephens, a local business owner, has brought forward a petition regarding the illegal closure of this street by the city of Kemah, TX. According to Mr. Stephens, this closure has caused significant issues for businesses in the area, as it limits parking spaces for patrons, directly impacting daily operations and economic stability.

For those interested in supporting the local businesses' efforts to reopen 6th Street, Mr. Stephens has organized a petition. While we are neutral on the issue, we believe in keeping our community informed.

Exciting Opportunity for CCISD Intermediate & High School Students!

The Science Fair Innovative Grants (SFIG) are back! Applications are now open through September 12th, giving you the chance to receive up to $500 for your 2024/2025 science fair project. Visit the Clear Creek Education Foundation website for all the details. Don't miss out—the deadline is next week!
