Deanna McDonald, Patti Parish-Kaminski and Ann Smith at Texana’s Changing Lives Breakfast.
The calendar says fall has arrived. My internal temperature gauge says otherwise. Other than the fact that we are still fighting heat, humidity and mosquitoes, I love the arrival of fall. Even though my kids no longer don costumes and go trick-or-treating, my house is full of candy, there are pumpkins on my porch and Tim still puts out the ghostly – really ghastly – Halloween decorations in our yard. What’s not to love?
I also absolutely! love our GEMS of Fort Bend, who will debut this month with a very special event on October 24th benefiting AccessHealth. These three Generous, Enthusiastic Men Serving have so much in common. They are Godly men, they are dedicated to helping others and they absolutely! love Fort Bend. Yes, I am absolutely! in love with our GEMS, and I hope you will enjoy getting to know them beginning on page 12.
October also brings us Breast Cancer Awareness, and with all of our community magazines, it is important to us to shine the spotlight on such an important issue affecting so many. Our special Focus on the Cure section begins on page 39, and it is full of valuable information to share with your friends and family.
As we are in the midst of gala and festival season, we are out and about in Brazos quite a bit. If you are involved with an organization and would like for us to attend and cover it, please e-mail me at editor@absolutelybrazos.com. And, if you see us out and about, please say hello! We love meeting new friends in our community.
If you are looking to spend some quality time with the kids making sweet treats for Halloween, check out our Spooky Halloween Drinks and Sweet Treats features. Fun to make and even more fun to eat!
Be safe this Halloween, and remember, ladies, get those mammograms!
Absolutely! yours,
Patti Parish-Kaminski
