Great to be back again serving as emcee at the 17th Annual Hearts of Texas Luncheon, honoring Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Randy Bowman, Community Partners of Dallas and the Lewisville ISD. Volunteerism transforms lives! Thanks to Volunteer Now CEO, Rachel Currie Triska, for inspiring her incredible team. Americans gave 4.1 billion hours of service to humanity as volunteers last year. There's nothing more impactful than making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. As I share in my keynote address: "Live your life as a go-getter, yet, forever share your life as a go-giver."

📢 Got my first Letter to the Editor published this week by the SF Chronicle. 📧 Letters: Here’s what Gov. Newsom’s proposed budget cuts will do to the arts. It’s not pretty Regarding “ ‘Devastating and disappointing’: Newsom’s proposed budget cuts to the arts would place California 45th nationwide” (Arts & Entertainment, SFChronicle.com, May 17): Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed budget cuts to the arts and a 38% reduction in funding to the California Arts Council is a significant setback for the state. The Latino Community Foundation recently administered the Pilot Creative Corps Program, an initiative through the council that sought to leverage the arts to increase public awareness about climate mitigation, relief and recovery. With state resources, the foundation funded 28 nonprofit organizations to catalyze civic engagement and invest in the creative economy. At least 60% of the funds went directly to salaries for artists, crucial for sustaining them, their families and our communities. Funding cuts to these programs undermine the essential role of artists in our communities and damage California’s economy. We call on Gov. Newsom to reconsider these devastating cuts.

Texas Day – February 1, 2024 (United States) Texas Day was first celebrated in 2017 after it was created online. At first, this holiday was seen as unnecessary as the date was not related to any key moments in Texas. However, the holiday is still regarded as another day to celebrate the Lone Star State. ‘Texas’ is a name derived from ‘taysha,’ a word in the Caddoan language, meaning ‘friend’ or ‘ally.’ Texas has a funny history. It has been territorialized by six different countries: France, Spain, Mexico, the United States, the Confederate States, and the Republic of Texas, for over three centuries. For nine years (1836 — 1845), Texas was an independent country. It joined the United States as the 28th state on December 29, 1845, and its capital city is Austin. The armadillo is the state’s official animal, and its official flower is the bluebonnet. Its official sport is Rodeo, and its official dish is ‘chili con Carne,’ a red stew dish made with dried meat without beans. Being one of the largest and most populated states in the United States, Texas has a population of over 28 million residents and a land area of 268,596 square miles. The current Texas governor is Greg Abbott. It is famous for Rodeos, special Texan B.B.Q.s, live music, hot weather, Dr Pepper, and its large size. The state brags about its Whataburger, state fair, beautiful sunsets, and its water park, Schlitterbahn. #PhoenixDelivers #texas
