2014 Annual Report 2014 ANNUAL REPORT ABOUT DEPELCHIN CHILDREN’S CENTER DePelchin Children’s Center is the leading center in Texas for children’s well-being, with a focus on mental health, foster care and adoption services. For more than 120 years, DePelchin has been turning lives around with comprehensive care for children, including psychiatric services, counseling, programs for at-risk youths, parent education, residential treatment, foster care and adoption. DePelchin is a not- for-profit organization and gratefully receives its support from individuals, foundations and corporations; government grants and fees; and United Way agencies. OUR VISION We envision a world in which every child is safe and healthy. OUR MISSION We strengthen the lives of children by enhancing their mental health and physical well-being. 3 FROM THE BOARD CHAIRMAN am honored to present to you the 2014 Annual Report for DePelchin Children’s Center. As you will see, your generosity has made a difference in the lives of more than 25,000 Ichildren across the State of Texas. Every day, DePelchin is turning lives around with comprehensive and compassionate care for children. From counseling and psychiatry for children struggling with emotional and behavioral issues to finding loving families for children removed from abusive homes, we are realizing our vision of a world in which every child is safe and healthy – one child at a time. Kezia Payne DePelchin, our founder, would be amazed to see how her little ‘Faith Home’ has evolved into the leading center in Texas for children’s well-being, with locations throughout the Greater Houston area in addition to Austin, Brownwood, Lubbock and San Antonio. She would also be pleased to see how her ‘faith in the good people of Houston’ has enabled DePelchin’s phenomenal success and growth. The realization of her dream in 1892 would not have been possible without committed donors and volunteers such as you. A few highlights from 2014 that you helped make possible include: • opening of a home for young adults, ages 18-22, who have aged out of foster care and are at risk of becoming homeless; • unveiling of the Maconda Brown O’Connor Training Institute with the inaugural trauma-informed care conference for community professionals; • launch of the city-wide mental health campaign Heal Young Minds to get people talking about children’s mental health and help reduce stigma; and • a record number of adoptions with 190 children welcomed into forever families. Thank you for your support in helping us turn lives around. Sincerely, Charles D.

  • Texans' Inaugural Roster
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn HOUSTOn TEXAnS Team History The Houston Texans’ National Football League debut occurred in the 2002 AFC-NFC Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. The game brought to fruition a dream of the Houston community. The drive to bring an NFL team back to the football-rich city was spearheaded by owner Bob McNair. His quest began in 1997. After being turned away by the National Hockey League, McNair turned his focus to bringing an expansion football team back to Houston. In just a few months, McNair’s efforts began paying off. NFL Commission- er Paul Tagliabue praised his plans at the owners’ meeting in October of that year. In June 1998, the NFL Stadium Committee made a visit to Houston to see the plans for a new retractable roof stadium. Nine months later, the league voted 29-2 to give Los Angeles six months to work out a feasible ownership plan and stadi- um situation. If the city could not do so, then the NFL would recommend Houston as the 32nd franchise. McNair, after stepping up his efforts to land the expansion team, became encouraged in the summer of 1999 when it ap- peared that Los Angeles’ bid was failing. In September, McNair was instructed to prepare for the upcoming owners’ meeting in Atlanta. Then, at that meeting held on October 6, 1999, the NFL owners voted 29-0 to award the expansion franchise to McNair for a record $700 million. On January 19, 2000, the team began to form its front office when Charley Casserly was hired as Executive Vice President/ General Manager.

We are very happy to be hosting committees during this strange year and would like to thank you for giving this online thing a shot. I am very excited to be a chair for this specific committee because a few years ago I did a similar committee which was at my first Model UN conference. I have been a part of Model UN for 3 years and have gone to a few high school conferences and two college conferences which includes NAIMUN and WMHSMUN (Georgetown and William & Mary). It was very interesting to hear different things from people across the country instead of the state. I know that we can have a very good discussion on the topic today as NFL CTE. Please send me your position papers at my email address below so that I may consider them for awards.
