Look who stopped by our offices! Executive Chef for the Houston Rockets Chef Rey popped in for a surprise visit with Publisher Patti Parish-Kaminski. The former restaurateur from Sugar Land is traveling the country with the Rockets, serving as a consultant to local McDonald’s and of course, creating amazing food.
An Attitude of Gratitude – and Winning –
It’s fall in Fort Bend, and there’s one question on my mind: Are you ready for some football? Friday Night Lights is a tradition in Fort Bend with 13 high schools in Sugar Land, Missouri City and Stafford. To help you cheer on your favorite team, we’ve included the High School Varsity Football Schedules in this special issue highlighting two of our favorite things: football and celebrating a big win!
Fall also brings us a winning annual event: The Fort Bend County Fair. This year, the Fair celebrates its 79th annual event, and all of the festivities – including the PRCA Championship Rodeo – is in full swing beginning on September 25th. Last year’s auctions alone raised over $1.6 million for the youth of Fort Bend County with their award-winning animals and art. Kudos to the many volunteers each year who make the Fair a win-win for our community.
Award-winning also describes our GEMS of Fort Bend – the signature event that has honored Generous, Enthusiastic Men Serving for the past two years. We are proud to support our community, and in fact, it is part of our mission at absolutely! focus media – to give back to the community that has given us so much. We were thrilled to receive the Excellence in Community Service – Philanthropy Award for the 2013 and 2014 GEMS of Fort Bend from The Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals. And, we’re even more proud of our 2015 GEMS and the beneficiary: Bob Hebert, Don Kerstetter and Steve Onstad supporting The Fort Bend Family YMCA. We hope you will join us on October 22nd for this year’s award-winning event.
Coach Vince Lombardi said, “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.” With a passion for service to our community, Fort Bend is a community that wants to win. We want our businesses to succeed, our organizations to succeed, our children to succeed. And, it takes us all, working together as a winning community to make that happen. Keep up the great work Fort Bend! Let’s have a winning fall season in everything we do!
Stay focused,
