President's Message May EWI of Houston Monthly Newsletter ewihouston.org PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Happy May to everyone. I feel like May is always a busy time of year for most people. There are graduations, end of the school year events, and summer planning. For me personally, I have 3 destination weddings - - - all this month. I am very blessed to be able to attend each of these joyous celebrations, but there is always a considerable amount planning to go into attending these events, especially when they are out of town. As a friendly reminder, I will not be at the May Monthly meeting but you all will have a wonderful meeting with Rebekah taking practice at the podium. We just wrapped up our biggest event of the Year: Executives’ Night. This year my focus was all about making dreams come true. With the help of our Fundraising Director, Margo Faulkner, representing Sewell Automotive Companies, and her committee, along with Executive’s Night Chair, Tracey Ramsey, 2018-2019 representing The Visa Team and her committee and the entire Officers & Directors Membership, we were able to make many dreams come true President because we raised a total of…. $134,390! WOW! I am so Jessica Witek Sebesta overjoyed and blown away by all the tremendous work and Topgolf Houston—Spring generous donations that went in to making this year a huge Jessica Sebesta President Elect success. Rebekah Wesley Topgolf -Spring Jackson and Company My goal for this year was to at least make sure we raised Secretary $50,000 to match Schlumberger’s generous match donation, and we were able to do Michelle Lang Let It Fly Events that and much more. I am so thankful for each of you and to each of those that contributed to our Business/Career/Development/Programs. Next year’s Leadership Treasurer Sandy Gracia team will be able to make even more contributions to our community. Houston First Corporation The fun does not stop there. On May 22nd we will have our first Ready Rally Communications Candice Sanchez partnering with the Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation at Housman Elementary.

For me it was more special because my daughter came with me to share the evening. The Ballroom at Bayou Place was decorated beautifully. The delicious hors d’oeuvres were being passed and the bar was making their signature drinks. There were so many great auction items that is was hard to decide what to bid on and you had to keep up with your bidding because there were individuals out there that were so quick on the bidding. There were also several items you could buy raffle ticket for a chance to win. Our President, Jessica Sebesta announced that before tonight we have raised over $50,000 in monetary donations. This means that the donation match last year from Schlumberger of $50,000 has officially been achieved. THANK YOU Schlumberger!!! Jessica announced all the great philanthropy events we have already done and a few that are left to do this year. The evening got off to a great start, Craig Howard, an owner of The Ballroom a Bayou Place came to the stage to thank everyone who has supported them and used their ballroom for their events within the last year. He announced that he and his wife Stephanie would be donating $5,000 to the EWI of Houston. EWI Executive’s Dr. Raphael Moffett, representing Texas Southern University to give our invocation, then everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner. The dinner was so delicious, what a great combo with braised short ribs and grilled shrimp and a hard choice triple chocolate mousse cake or homemade bread budding. An EWI of Houston ASIST Scholarship winner in 2018, Braxton Smith spoke and told us what is The First Law Student that we have awarded a scholarship to. He attends SOUTH TEXAS COLLEGE OF LAW Houston where he currently has a 4.0 GPA this semester while working 14-16 hour days. He recently finished an internship at the Felony Division of the Houston District Attorney's Office. Braxton will graduate Magnum Cum Laude in May and he has just been published and will be taking the bar this July. Congratulations, Braxton! Next we had new Executive to new member firm, The University of Houston- Downtown speak to us. Johanna Wolfe joined University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) as Vice President for Advancement and University Relations in 2010. Johanna is responsible for fundraising and alumni relations, and provides leadership for marketing and communica- tions operations. She leads an organization of 25 employees, and has successfully led the advancement team to exceed the goal for the UHD Here, We Go campaign – a component of the UH System’s billion dollar campaign – more than 18 months ahead of schedule.

  • Independence Trail Region, Known As the “Cradle of Texas Liberty,” Comprises a 28-County Area Stretching More Than 200 Miles from San Antonio to Galveston
    n the saga of Texas history, no era is more distinctive or accented by epic events than Texas’ struggle for independence and its years as a sovereign republic. During the early 1800s, Spain enacted policies to fend off the encroachment of European rivals into its New World territories west of Louisiana. I As a last-ditch defense of what’s now Texas, the Spanish Crown allowed immigrants from the U.S. to settle between the Trinity and Guadalupe rivers. The first settlers were the Old Three Hundred families who established Stephen F. Austin’s initial colony. Lured by land as cheap as four cents per acre, homesteaders came to Texas, first in a trickle, then a flood. In 1821, sovereignty shifted when Mexico won independence from Spain, but Anglo-American immigrants soon outnumbered Tejanos (Mexican-Texans). Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna seized control of Mexico in 1833 and gripped the country with ironhanded rule. By 1835, the dictator tried to stop immigration to Texas, limit settlers’ weapons, impose high tariffs and abolish slavery — changes resisted by most Texans. Texas The Independence ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Trail ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On March 2, 1836, after more than a year of conclaves, failed negotiations and a few armed conflicts, citizen delegates met at what’s now Washington-on-the-Brazos and declared Texas independent.
