2011 Back to School Drive, Health Fair and Business Expo
On Saturday, August 13, 2011, the Annual Back to School Drive, Health Fair and Business Expo was held at the PlazAmericas Mall in Houston, Texas. Hundreds of volunteers along with community leaders and corporate partners donated their time and money to make this a very memorable and successful event.
School supplies for the upcoming HISD school year were distributed to approximately 7200 students grades K-5. The students and parents were also given the opportunity to receive free health exams and consultation at the health fair as well as receive valuable information and services from the local business partners at the business expo.
As an added bonus, the kids were treated to a book reading and signing by Sam E. Bromley, the author of “Hunka Chunka Monkey Shapes Up“. In addition, the kids got to meet wrestler Chaz Taylor and former Houston Rockets and current Washington Wizards point guard Mike James.
It was definitely and honor and privilege to work with all of the volunteers, community leaders and partners.

On February 24, 2011, a celebration was hosted at the Kim Son Restaurant in downtown Houston, Texas honoring the outstanding Asian teachers, student clubs and teachers with service of 25 years and over.
It was truly an honor to be in the company of the individuals dedicated to the education of the young men and women of tomorrow.
Here’s a picture of members from The Philippine American Chamber of Commerce-Texas, Houston Royal Oaks Lions Club, Asian Student Clubs Scholarship Recipients and Osias Mendoza, 2011 Outstanding Asian-Pacific American Teacher, with Dr. Kimberly Agnew Borders, Principal of Wesley Elementary.

Event: Belmont Village Assisted Living Celebrates
The Belmont Village Assisted Living Community at West University achieved 12 months of 100% occupancy. Management and staff celebrated this remarkable achievement by having a party at the facility on February 1, 2011. The Fun Photo Booth brought the fun and I made sure I captured it. From the looks of the event and photo booth pictures, looks like everyone had a blast.
Good luck to you in 2011 for another repeat performance and thanks again for allowing us this opportunity to celebrate with you!
