General Manager Bobby Turner and Patti Parish-Kaminski at Ray’s Gourmet Country in Fulshear.
Can I just say that I love the GEMS of Fort Bend? If you haven’t met Bob, Neil or Jim – our 2014 Generous, Enthusiastic Men Serving – you are missing out on an opportunity to be inspired, entertained and informed. I hope that you will join us on October 23rd at the newly renovated Safari Texas Lodge to meet these amazing, Godly men and help support Texana Center. Texana is doing amazing work in our community, and I would like to personally invite you to join us to learn all about them and our three GEMS, who truly shine. It’s a chips for charity, GEMS and jeans themed event – all for a great cause.
Speaking of great causes, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we want to do our part by shining the spotlight on this disease that affects so many of our friends, neighbors and families. Our Focus on the Cure section is full of valuable information about prevention and early detection and includes Pretty in Pink, featuring what some local retailers have to offer to support Breast Cancer Awareness. So, during this important month, think pink!
Well, it’s Halloween, and I would like to tell you that my children have outgrown the ghostly – really ghastly – decorations that Tim puts out every year, but that’s not the case. My yard sparkles, and it usually stays somewhat that way until Thanksgiving when the turkeys come out. Every year I expect a letter or at least a note from my neighbors, but so far, so good, so the Halloween havoc continues. There are a couple of fun Halloween events in Rosenberg for your little ghouls this month. Read about them on pages 48 and 57, and take a look at some fun spooky recipes on page 54. And don’t forget to add the sparkles!
The very definition of sparkle is “to be brilliant in performance.” Yes, our GEMS sparkle, our Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign sparkles and even my Halloween decorations sparkle. Author Amy Leigh Mercree said, “Celebrate true friends. They are a part of you that always sparkles.” I wish you all – our readers, friends and advertisers – an October that sparkles!
Absolutely! yours,
