Tracey Shaw, Patti Parish-Kaminski and Andi Wallis at Texana’s Reaching for the Stars Awards Ceremony.
And the winner is…. absolutely! Brazos Magazine! We were thrilled to receive Texana Center’s Media of the Year Award at the organization’s 4th Annual Reaching for the Stars Awards Ceremony. This is the first community award for our Brazos Magazine, and it was such an honor to receive this designation from an organization that does so much to support individuals needing behavioral, intellectual and developmental care. I personally have had the opportunity to visit Texana’s campus and meet some of their clients on numerous occasions. The work they do is vital to our community, and they do it so well. We are proud to partner with Texana on shining the spotlight on autism, and we are even prouder to serve as their Media of the Year Award recipient.
Speaking of awards, absolutely! Brazos has also won Honorable Mention in the Hermes Creative Awards competition for our June 2013 issue that featured another amazing Brazos organization: Lunches of Love. The Hermes Creative Awards is an international competition for creative professionals involved in the concept, writing and design of traditional media. absolutely! focus media won four Hermes awards for our publications, two Honorable Mention, one Gold and the coveted Platinum Award. We strive to bring our readers award-winning magazines.
absolutely! Brazos Magazine’s Hermes Creative Award.
Award winning describes not only absolutely! Brazos; it also describes the GEMS. If you are wondering who the 2014 Generous, Enthusiastic Men Serving are, wonder no more. The three GEMS of Fort Bend were introduced at an event at Constellation Field, and they are shining stars of our community. Neil Banfield, Robert C. Brown, III and James D. Rice are our GEMS featured on page 32. Mark your calendars for October 23rd as we celebrate these three community servants with a GEMS and jeans themed event. We hope to see you there!
Finally, how are you and your family celebrating July 4th? There are three great family-friendly events taking place in Brazos. Read all about them on page 8, and start making your plans to celebrate our great nation.
