Junior League of Houston was enjoyed by all attendees.
Khambrel Marshall, Meteorologist and Member of the KPRC 2
Severe Weather Team and host of Houston Newsmakers, gave an
inspiring insight to his life, career, love of the
Houston area and his personal outreach in making Houston a
better place for others. Khambrel is a very approachable,

Spring Cooking Class - March 9th (pictures)
Another sold out Central Market
cooking event was held on March 9 where participants
explored an Italian Trattoria menu. A trattoria is a casual
Italian eatery where the menus are written on a chalkboard,
the food is served family-style, and service is casual. The
group learned how to make
Italian favorites and create
trattoria-style meals at home. Thanks to Steve Paul, SAAGH
President,
and Carolyn Yapp, SAAGH Director, for
organizing. |
The Green Book at Ensemble Theatre - February 15th (pictures)
The Ensemble Theatre's adaptaion and performance of "The
Green Book" that was inspired by Victor Hugo Green’s
historical “The Negro Motorist Green Book,” the setting
takes place during a weekend when the Davis’ are celebrating
the arrival of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois for a lecture. The
appearance of a white visitor, who turns out to be a Jewish
Holocaust survivor, sets off a chain of events showing that
racism and anti-Semitism cannot be ignored. This play is an
investigation of the impact of Civil Rights on contemporary
American issues.

Norman Rockwell:
American Freedom is the first comprehensive exhibition

Freedoms outlined by Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Freedom of
Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Fear, and Freedom
