All-

Below are the details for the Breast Cancer Awareness Day in Historic Downtown Richmond that I mentioned today.

Unfortunately I will be out of town but a good Fort Bend Exchange turn out would be wonderful!

Hope you can make it!

 

Tuesday, October 25, Historic Downtown Richmond will turn pink, with pink ribbons on anything and everything that does not move. The day will culminate with a ceremony @ 6:00 p.m., with speakers, an open house and a reception. So mark your calendars now and plan to attend.

This event is about public awareness, about the importance of mammograms and having family and friends’ support when going through treatments.

Throughout the day Tuesday, Oct. 25, the Italian Made will be open and giving out Pink Cupcakes, which Pomegranate & Co. will be doing as well.

At the 6:00-6:30 p.m. ceremony, the City of Richmond will proclaim October 25, Breast Cancer Awareness Day in Richmond. There will also be a couple of speakers at the ceremony, which is being held next to the Richmond City Hall on Morton Street. The ceremony will close with a reception at the Italian Maid Café and an open house at Pomegranate & Co, a new business which recently opened in Historic Richmond. The Pomegranate & Co., will be offering pink champagne and pink finger foods as well as pink jewelry.

Next year, Historic Richmond will probably sponsor a Walk for the Cure and more details will follow.

We hope to see the community Tuesday night, October 25, at 6:00 p.m., so please come out and show your support, and as you leave, feel free to take a pink ribbon and wear it the rest of the month in honor of all those who are fighting for their lives, fighting to help make this disease history, and for those who have lost their lives to breast cancer.

For more information, please call 281-344-8955.

Christ United Methodist Church, 3300 Austin Parkway, Sugar Land, will host Nash3 in concert from 7 to 8:30 on the evening of the tenth anniversary of September 11th. This concert will be presented in honor of all fire fighters, police officers, EMTʼs, first responders, search and rescue team members, hospital emergency room personnel, active military service personnel, and veterans. A special time of recognition will be held in between sets. There will be a display area for concert-goers to leave notes, prayers, or flowers and light a candle in memory of those who lost their lives that day and have since in defending our country from further terrorist acts.

Nash3 is a dynamic singing-songwriting trio. Over the past years they have blended their collective talents into a truly unique, harmony-driven, one-of-a-kind sound. Bill and Kim Nash and their youngest son, Jimmy, make up the trio. In 2004, Billʼs and Kimʼs “In God We Still Trust” became the number one best-selling independent record. Their latest project is an album of songs entitled “Heaven Is Real”. Other songs theyʼve written include, “Up Where We Belong”, “Let It Be You”, “They Asked About You”, and “Seven New Stars”, written in memory of the lost Challenger astronauts. Theyʼve performed in numerous television appearances, with such artists as Reba McIntire, Johnny Cash, and Marty Robbins, written theme songs for Ford, Dodge, the U.S.O. and other civic groups, and sponsor a relief effort called “Building Bridges of Hope”, a humanitarian charity that supports “Champions Kids Camp”, “Forgotten Angels”, and “Escape Family Resource Center”.

The concert is free; however, a love offering will be received. Childcare will be provided and a light reception will be held afterward.
