“Special Delivery” — Neighborly Kindness Makes Local Headlines

Timbergrove Manor residents in Section 5 were recently featured in The Leader — the local newspaper covering The Heights, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest and other North Houston neighborhoods — for their “Shay Day” celebration honoring USPS mail carrier Naquetta “Shay” Foote.

Organized by Courtnie Hayes, an 11-year resident of Timbergrove, the block party was held in honor of Shay and her incredible commitment to the neighborhood. Shay knows the homes on her route by name, adding a personal touch to her deliveries whenever possible.

The Leader reported that about 80 people attended the party, and 10 of Shay's relatives were also invited. When plans about the party were shared on the neighborhood Facebook page earlier this summer, The Leader also said that several other Timbergrove residents chimed in with comments and even photos of their own popular mail carrier.

It's wonderful to see such amazing community spirit in action!
