Tree Planting Ceremonial – Oct. 17, 2014

A tree planting ceremony was held this morning hosted by TXU for the Oak Meadows Civic Club. Eight crape myrtle trees have graciously been donated to the civic club to help beautify the entrances to the neighborhood located on Allen Genoa & Ahrens St. and Michael & Howard. Through its Committed to Community Growth Program, TXU Energy works with the Texas Trees Foundation to maintain the TXU Energy Urban Tree Farm and Education Center, the largest nonprofit urban tree farm in the nation. Never before since the neighborhood was created in 1952 had there ever been trees in both side of the entrances which will add to the beauty of the neighborhood and enhance our area.  This took quite some time in planning and I would like to “Thank” the following person(s) who diligently worked together with me towards this event.
