Party on Chestnut Street

The residents of the 5100 and 5200 blocks of Chestnut Street in Bellaire gathered for a long overdue block party. Neighbors enjoyed catching up with each other, and the Bellaire Fire Department made an appearance to meet residents and show off their trucks for eager children. In addition to socializing, Chestnut Street families brought personal-hygiene items to donate to Wraparound Resources, a nonprofit started by Meyerland resident Kay Wasden, which serves HISD schools. Joined by firefighters and children, the festive neighbors are (top row, from left) Dan Lillig, Lisa Gilbreth, Marie-Claude Monier-Faugere, Lucie Loretz, Aude Faugere, Jay LeJeune, Traci Marable, Jennifer Bhardwaj, Greg Urbach, and Tabeen Urbach; (front row, from left) Erika Roberts, Meridith Flynn, and Megan Scharpf.
