PUBLISHER’S LETTER

A

ll great cities find ways to help grow its businesses. Lyndon Johnson was instrumental in developing NASA. Houston leaders have nurtured the energy business along its ascent in becoming “energy capital of the world.” The Texas Medical Center continues to be one of the crown jewels in developing Houston into what it is today. In this issue you can meet some of the shining stars leading the way in the field of medicine. Also, there is a crusade by a River Oaks couple to make Houston a cinematic city not unlike New Orleans.

Carole Harrington and her husband Rick, have a strong belief that Houston should become a place for cinema art due in part to its strong arts background. Our theater, the Houston Symphony and the Houston Ballet are among the best supported in the US. Why not support cinema arts the same way?

It will create jobs and make Houston even more interesting than it is today. Harrington was a feature writer for the Houston Chronicle for ten years and was the first woman to sit on their editorial board. She was also CEO of The Living Bank, an organ donation and education organization. She also occasionally writes for The Huffington Post. She and her husband Rick are well qualified to lead the charge into putting Houston on the cinema map. This River Oaks dynamic duo just launched their first movie and have more in the works.

As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter we are drawn to be outside. We are also reminded that it is time to break out that bathing suit and see how much of that winter coat we need to shed. Well, you are in luck because there is a new faster way to get there. Boot camp is all the rage. Yes, you too can join the ranks at dawn with a screaming sergeant pushing you to squeeze into that new bathing suit or dress in time for you next reunion or wedding.

Thank you to all these fine restaurants for their kindness in supporting the Thread Alliance’s Blue Plate Special campaign during the amonth of April.

Let’s put our

city on the

Y

es, Joanne, it is the saddest thing – the state of the film community in Houston.

Joanne King Herring is my friend of many years and, like many film supporters, is frustrated with the “state of the art” of filmmaking in our city. Austin and Dallas attract most of the films made in Texas.

But even those cities, compared to cities in other states, have too few chance to call for “Action.”

you’re down in the cellar competing with cities like Dallas and Austin, and your state incentives are low, it’s time to rethink about working together.

Louisiana, Georgia, New York, North Carolina, New Mexico and Michigan are “kicking our camera,” with up to 35 percent tax credit incentives filmmakers can use to finance their film.

Then there’s Canada with up to 40 percent. Texas’ basic tax credit Houston’s filmmakers are hungry to incentive is 20 percent, and the be heard. It is more than an aesthetic restrictions to qualify are so tough goal. It also can be an economic it is difficult to film here. powerhouse. In Louisiana in 2014, filmmakers returned $4.63 for Texas also has a cap on available every $1 awarded in tax incentives. incentives of $93 million while The state did $727 million in film some of the other states do not.

ALADDIN MEDITERRANEAN

by Marene Gustin

Constant dining out can be as hard on your waistline as your pocket book. Whether you are on a steady diet of filet mignon and lobster drenched in butter, or, more likely, a daily dose from your favorite Tex-Mex joint, it’s not exactly healthy.

Luckily there are plenty of places that offer healthy choices, from vegetarian to juices and Mediterranean.

THE HOBBIT CAFE Back in the day, when Houston dining choices pretty much revolved around clubby steakhouses, cheesy Tex-Mex joints and a few American-Italian eateries, The Hobbit Cafe was the go-to spot for vegetarians and health fans. Today, after 43 years The Hobbit is not only still going strong, it’s also added some meat, egg and cheese items to the menu.

visited by Mama Cass, Peter Max, Neil Young, Governor Connally, Jack Nicholson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Depeche Mode and Woody Harrelson. And plenty of Houstonians flock to the shaded wooden deck for weekend brunches of poached eggs, migas and pancakes. Yes, there are still plenty of vegetarian dishes, like the veggie enchiladas and black bean burger.

All very healthy and tasty to boot.

Who’s Who In Lea Medicine in Hou We have recognized but a few of Houston's leaders

by William Hanover

Professor and Chair of Immunology at MD Anderson Dr.Allison Allison is currently chairman of immunology and director of Immunotherapy platform of Moon Shots at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

He is the main DR. JIM ALLISON, PH.D. person behind the breakthrough technology that is enabling the advancements of Immunotherapy and the drug Yervoy which essentially tricks the sick person’s immune system to fight their cancer. For his research and discovery he was awarded The Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences and The Horwitz Prize which is Columbia University’s top honor for achievement in biology and biochemistry. Allison grew up in south Texas where his father was a doctor and he became interested in science. He later turned to cancer research due to losing four family members including his brother to the dreaded disease.

Allison earned a bachelor’s degree in microbiology and a doctorate from UT-Austin. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, Allison originally joined MD Anderson in 1977.

After moving to University of Cal Berkeley and memorial Sloan kettering only to return to MD Anderson in 2012. Houston is forever grateful.

DR. MARC BOOM President and CEO of Houston Methodist Hospital Dr. Boom holds the reins to0 Houston Methodist, a 1,000+ bed hospital network consistently ranked among the country’s best by U.S. News & World Report, and named by FORTUNE as one of America’s “100 Best companies to Work for.”

Houston Methodist is affiliated with a number of academic institutions that support its teaching and research initiatives. These include Weill Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Houston; Texas A&M and UT-Health Science Center.

Previously Dr. Boom held the positions of executive vice president of The Methodist Hospital, president and CEO of Methodist Diagnostic Hospital and president/CEO/medical director of BaylorMethodist Primary Care Associates, a network of primary care physicians. Dr. Boom holds a B.S. in Biology with High Honors from the University of Texas at Austin, an M.D. with High Honors from Baylor College of Medicine. He completed a residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and fellowships in geriatric medicine and general medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He is board certified in both internal medicine and geriatric medicine. He maintains a part-time clinical practice where his special interests are preventive medicine, lipid disorders, and hypertension.

Dr. Boom was named CEO Communicator of the Year by the Houston chapter of the Public Relations Society of America in 2014.

The American Heart Association awarded Dr. Boom the “2006 Distinguished Service Award” and in 2012, Dr. Boom and his wife Dr. Julie Boom received the “Good Samaritan Award” from Interface-Samaritan Counseling Centers.

JOHN B. HOLCOMB, M.D. Director of the Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute.

He is also Director of the Division of Acute Care Surgery at UTHealth Medical School & Retired U.S. Army Colonel As a U.S. Army surgeon, Holcomb treated the worst kind of injuries – soldiers badly wounded and at risk of succumbing to rapid blood loss. On the battlefield, Holcomb and his colleagues developed the protocol known as damage control resuscitation and improved patient outcomes after hemorrhagic shock, but only when the right ratio of plasma, platelets and red blood cells was administered. Until the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this combination was rarely used and had yet to be proven. But in his observational studies, as well as those of his fellow military trauma surgeons, Holcomb found the right mix: one part plasma, one part platelets, and one part red blood cells. In 2012, Holcomb and a team of researchers launched a large clinical trial to gauge the effect of damage control resuscitation after hemorrhagic shock on patient survival. The recently published results of the landmark study drawn from 12 trauma centers in the U.S. and Canada overwhelmingly confirmed what Holcomb and his colleagues had already discovered in combat: damage control resuscitation exceeds or matches another widely used blood transfusion protocol. This new blood transfusion protocol is now employed in most military and civilian hospitals today.

DR. ANDREA STOLAR She holds dual positions as Director of Residency Education and Director of Forensic Psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine and also Medical Director for the Veterans Court Programs at the Veterans at Michael E. DeBakey Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Houston, Dr. Stolar was on the planning team for the Harris County Felony Mental Health Court, chairing the Clinician’s Committee, and was one of the founders of the Harris County Veterans Court, a felony mental health/drug court, and the first Veterans Court in the state of Texas.

As a result of her efforts there are now additional Veterans Courts created in Montgomery, Harris (misdemeanor), Galveston and Fort Bend Counties.

The focus of her work is with veterans, most of whom suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.

Her clinical and research work at Baylor College of Medicine has been the development of jail diversion programs and the care and treatment of justice-involved veterans.

Dr. Stolar received her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and pursued her psychiatric residency at Baylor College of Medicine, completing her training at the University of South Florida in Tampa Florida. She did fellowships in suicide studies at the Clarke Institute at University of Toronto and in Forensic Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Stolar returned to Texas in 2008 and Houston is a better place because of it.

DR. GAVIN W. BRITZ Chairman of neurosurgery and co-director of the Methodist Neurological Institute.

Britz was former director of the Cerebrovascular Center at Duke University Medical Center before replacing the longtime Methodist department chairman Dr. Robert Grossman, who previously developed the Methodist Neurological Institute into the leader it is today. Britz leads an acclaimed team of neurosurgeons and affiliated professionals and is recognized as one of the nation’s foremost cerebrovascular, skull base and brain tumor surgeons. Methodist neurosurgeons perform approximately 2,600 procedures each year.

He is on the advisory boards of the Joe Niekro Foundation and The Brain Aneurysm Foundation.He has authored more than 90 peer reviewed scientific manuscripts and 28 chapters for various neurosurgical books. Britz’s goal is to enhance research expertise in the areas of brain tumors, cerebrovascular disease, spine and peripheral nerve, functional and pain disorders, and epilepsy.

In addition to his leadership role, Britz plans to continue a robust practice treating aneurysms using microsurgical and endovascular techniques.

HUDA Y. ZOGHBI, M.D. Director of the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Institute at Texas Children's Hospital.

She is also an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, She recently learned that the protein, MeCP2, influences the expression of thousands of other genes, and variations in the protein's levels can result in a range of disorders, including autism and early-onset schizophrenia.

Her breakthrough research earned her the 2014 March of Dimes Prize in Developmental Biology. Rett syndrome is one of the most common causes of intellectual disability in girls. Affected children withdraw socially and often cry endlessly. "Dr. Zoghbi's contributions to our understanding of several entirely different neurological disorders, including her finding of the genetic basis of Rett syndrome, have opened new areas of research," says Joe Leigh Simpson, MD, senior vice president for Research and Global Programs at the March of Dimes. Dr. Zoghbi left Lebanon in 1976 during that country's civil war and transferred from the American University of Beirut to Meharry Medical College in Tennessee. She finished her post doctorate fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine, where she has remained for more than three decades. She was the first woman from Baylor to be elected into the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. The March of Dimes Prize in Developmental Biology is awarded annually to investigators advancing the science that underlies the understanding of birth defects. The Foundation created the Prize as a tribute to Dr. Jonas Salk. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the March of Dimes founder.

DAN WOLTERMAN Chief Executive Officer of Memorial Hermann.

The only non doctor on our list, Wolterman oversees Houston’s largest healthcare employer. There were 57,000 emergency visits and over 20,000 surgeries performed at Memorial Hermann -Texas Medical Center just last year.

Memorial Hermann is also the state’s largest not-for-profit healthcare system. Wolterman arrived at Memorial Hermann in 1999 and was promoted to CEO in 2002. He recently forged an alliance with MD Anderson Cancer Center to work together and interpret breast imaging at most Memorial Hermann hospitals A melanoma cancer survivor himself, Wolterman has been busy recently, acquiring the Houston Orthopedic and Spine Hospital to strengthen their already strong position in orthopedic and rehab work. They also have five facilities under construction throughout greater Houston.

Wolterman arrived at Memorial Hermann in 1999 and was promoted to CEO in 2002. For the last eight years he has been named one of the “Most Influential People” in healthcare by Modern Healthcare Magazine. He has a business degree and MBA in Finance and a Masters from Xavier in Healthcare Administration.

DAVID I. SANDBERG, M.D. Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital Sandberg is also director of the Memorial Hermann Mischer Neuroscience Institute at the Texas Medical Center & Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatric Surgery at UTHealth Medical School Sandberg has pioneered novel, minimally invasive treatment approaches for malignant brain tumors in kids. Traditional chemo treatments flood the body with toxic chemicals, resulting in harsh side effects such as damage to other organs, development of secondary cancers, growth issues, hormonal issues and fertility issues. Sandberg says that he has even seen more patients tragically die from the cancer treatment than from the disease itself. So he found a better way. Most recently, the animal models he developed led to a pilot clinical trial which was just completed at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center. In this trial, chemotherapy was delivered directly into the fourth ventricle of the brain – where no one has done it before – in children with malignant brain tumors. Preliminary results have been extremely promising and have led to two additional clinical trials testing this concept.

Sandberg is actively changing the face of cancer treatment for children.

CONTINUE THEIR

MISSION

Exclusive Interview focused on applying knowledge in hand today to dramatically reduce cancer deaths in the coming decade. The program comprises large, multidisciplinary teams of MD Anderson researchers and clinicians working to convert discoveries into educational initiatives, prevention-oriented policies, smart clinical trials, mobile-enabled cognitive computing technology to spread knowledge efficiently, and drug development platforms to fill our pipeline with novel drugs that offer hope to our patients. The Moon Shots Program already has made progress in our fight to end cancer:

MD Anderson President Dr. Ronald DePinho

Intown: In 2012 upon your arrival at MD Anderson you launched with great fanfare the Moon Shots Program that was to “attack and cure cancers.” So far, what are the most significant contributions from this program?

DePinho: Two and a half years ago, we harnessed our talent and scale to launch the Moon Shots Program, a comprehensive assault intown 20

• Our efforts in Immunotherapy treatment have been groundbreaking. Discovered by our own Dr. Jim Allison, immunotherapy unleashes a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer cells. The results have been significant and efforts are underway to expand our knowledge and use of this novel therapeutic class of agents through many new clinical trials.

• In Cancer Control, our efforts have led to new laws to protect children from tanning beds and increased melanoma risk in 11 states, with 15 others in play; moreover, we have provided sun-protection curriculum to thousands of K-8 schools in the US.

Original MD Anderson Hospital

• Our ovarian cancer team has implemented a new algorithm that has increased complete surgical resection from 20 percent to an astounding 88 percent. Complete surgical resection at surgery is a strong correlate of improved survival.

• And a new two-drug combination has produced durable complete responses for nearly all chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients — making CLL a moon shot we may retire early.

These are true breakthroughs that wouldn’t have happened as rapidly and decisively without the talent of our faculty and the dedication of our supporters from Houston and around the world.

There’s still more to be done for our 10-year plan, but we’re making great progress.

I: When we first interviewed you we asked what was your biggest challenge as head of MD Anderson and you stated communication. What have you learned over the last three years you could share with us?

D: The last three years have been extremely rewarding. What I’ve learned is that communication — both listening and sharing information — remains one of the most

important parts of my leadership team. We’ve spent a great deal of time walking around the cancer center, inviting members of our faculty to small-group discussions and more because we all learn so much in the process. What I already knew — and have continued to experience — is that our faculty members and staff are the best of the best. The depth of their genius and devotion across all areas of cancer science and patient care is unmatched anywhere else. I’m also so proud of the dedication and passion of our staff and volunteers. And to top it all off, I’m proud of the true global influence of MD Anderson due to our research, patient care, education and prevention efforts that have the ability to impact the course of cancer near and far.

I: What if any cancers are we close to eradicating?

D: Cancer will never be eradicated, but what we can do is develop approaches that prevent the disease from happening in the first place, detect it early when the chances for cure is greatest, and directly influence the course of established disease and preserve the quality of life. Through our Moon Shots Program, we already are seeing major advances in the areas of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and melanoma, where durable responses and hope have replaced pain and despair. This is an exciting time in our field and many more advances are on the way.

I: There has been a lot in the news about the prices of many cancer drugs. One of your esteemed colleagues, Hagop Kantarjian is leading a crusade to encourage participation to fight these costs on many levels. What can and should be done about the exorbitant costs of some of the drugs needed by your patients?

D: The cost of cancer care is something we take seriously, and we have several programs available that offer financial support and access to drugs for patients in need.

Looking at the bigger picture, the cost is due in part to the high rate of failure in cancer drug development. To help address that issue, we launched the Institute for Applied Cancer Science in order to integrate drug discovery and functional genomics to increase the probability of discovering effective cancer therapies and therefore driving down development costs.

We also created the Institute for Personalized Cancer Therapy to support preclinical research and clinical trials in which a patient’s tumor biopsy is tested for abnormal genes and gene products to select targeted treatments that allow for personalized care and improved outcomes. intown 21

LONG TERM

HEALTH CARE

INSURANCE

Christopher J. Maurer, J.D., CFPŽ Certified Financial Planner™

M

any people are concerned about long term health care. Many of us have seen family or friends who needed assistance in their later years. Medicare does not provide for long term health care, other than medical expenses. Government assistance (Medicaid) is available if basically all assets have been depleted. Oftentimes assets can be used up caring for one spouse leaving the other spouse with a lot less money on which to live. We have probably all seen situations that have saddened us.

Long-term care is usually thought of as care that is needed to assist a person with the activities of daily living (ADLs.) ADLs include bathing, dressing, continence, eating, toileting, and transferring. Long term care also pertains to people suffering from mental impairment such as dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Assisted living is designed to help a person remain as independent as possible and provides help with such things as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders. Adult day care is designed for individuals who would benefit from a group setting outside the home. Nursing home services are mostly for those who need intensive medical care.

About 70% of people turning age 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives, and 20% of those using long-term care will need the care for more than 5 years.

Long term care can be very expensive. A private room in a nursing home can cost as much as $96,000 per year. A room in an assisted living center can cost $3,400 per month, and a home health care aide (if one can be found) generally costs around $22/hour.

Several types of long term care are available, depending upon the type of assistance needed. Home care can provide assistance with housekeeping, cooking, and shopping.

intown 22

Several ways exist to handle the cost of long-term health care. One way is to self-insure and use accumulated assets

or income to cover the cost. A second way is to rely on the help of family and friends. A third way is to purchase an indemnity policy that provides a daily benefit or reimbursement for actual expenses incurred. Policy premiums on indemnity policies can be increased, even after premiums have been paid for many years. If the increased premium is not paid, there is no refund and all benefits are lost. Another way to handle long term health care costs is to purchase a hybrid type insurance product that combines life insurance with long-term care benefits.

Unlike traditional indemnity type longterm care insurance, hybrid policies provide a death benefit and a return of premium option which provides value if the policy is not needed for long term care.

Here’s an example of how a hybrid policy might work. A female age 60 contributes $100,000 (either in a lump sum or over time) to a hybrid policy.

She would have available to her a long term care benefit of about $475,000. If the long term care benefit wasn’t used, a death benefit of about $160,000 would be paid to her beneficiaries. If after 5 years or more she decided she didn’t want the policy anymore, she could cancel the policy and her $100,000 would be returned. These numbers are illustrative only and are not guaranteed.

Some medical evaluation is required.

Whether a hybrid policy is appropriate for you depends upon your goals, facts, and circumstances. See your financial planner for details!

The Game

Houston Dynamo’s Owen Coyle:

U N F I LT E R E D With Sean Salisbury and Steve Bunin

intown 24

Steve: The new Houston Dynamo head coach, Owen Coyle, How are you?

Owen: Very good, lads. How are you? I’m lovely and chappie as always.

Steve: I know it’s not a great start for the Dynamo and I know it’s early, but you’re ninth in a ten team conference and getting goals on the board has been a struggle. I’m curious because you have some big time scorers who have done big time things like Brad Davis, Damascus Beasley, Ricardo Clark and Giles (Barnes) who have gotten it done in the past. What do you think has to happen to get crooked numbers on the scoreboard?

Owen: Well first and foremost, like anything in sports you give balance to anything when you’re coming in to team that missed the playoffs by a slim margin last year. And what you have to do is you have to implement ideas and put everything in place. I don’t think we’re very far off. This is a team that

conceded an awful a lot of goals last year and through 5 games, we’ve only conceded 3 goals, one of which was an own goal. So, we’re certainly doing everything possible in terms of restricting quality saves. Moving forward, we have set a solid base but we need to be more clinical and set create more player chances. All in all, we put in place things we can be proud of for years to come.

We’re really excited moving forward.

Sean: Coach Coyle, in every sports you have to defend well to give your team a chance in every game and then obviously you have to outscore the other team and that’s captain obvious statement by me. If you look at the improvements you’ve made on one of the ball and obviously trying to score more. Say two and half or three months from now, where will this offense be?

Owen: Great observation. But you’re right; first and foremost you’re correct. We have to make sure we’re solid and difficult to play against. There has to be that creativity and there has to be that excitement factor and that brings me to your question regards to two and half to three months down the line. We came in to the season convinced we were in mix for the playoffs and that was at the start of the season to improve from last season. We have a tremendous squad and a tremendous staff and everyone that’s walking in every day working to make the Dynamo better. So moving forward, we look to be solid against the ball but have more creativity scoring more goals. And when you do that, you get points and it goes over to your performances. We know if we continue to be consistent with our performances, it’s not that cutting edge, we’ll start seeing more win, win draws. Moving forward, everyone in the group is confident.

We have a stadium with an unbelievable fan base and the Dynamo is fantastic, through and through. And that’s why it makes a tremendous occasion for anybody to come along and watch the Dynamo games.

Steve: All right, Owen Coyle, best of luck and thanks for your time. intown 25

Art and accessories are the soul of a home. You can purchase the finest furniture but without art or accessories a room is lifeless. Wall art and accessories create focal points, tie together colors in a room and put your personal stamp on a space.

T

he most important accessory for any room is wall art. This is the year for bold art choices. Dramatic paintings and prints can make an ordinary room look extraordinary. Artwork sets the mood of a room and pulls together a color scheme.

Oversize abstract or graphic art mixed with antiques and transitional furniture is the big trend this year. Since all the colors in a painting are designed to work together, colors from your art work can be used to select additional accessories for your room.

A beautiful textile or weaving can be framed and used as wall art. An African kuba cloth, Indonesian batik or Afghani tribal weaving adds ethnic interest and a global flair to your decor.

A chandelier is the centerpiece of a room so it’s no surprise that statement light fixtures are very popular this year. Multiple matching chandeliers are being shown over the kitchen island or dining table. Colored glass, mixes of metal and crystal, sculptural iron shapes and retro chandeliers are in vogue. There are so many chandelier choices, it’s not surprising that chandeliers are being shown in every room of the house from the dining room to bathroom to the children’s playroom.

The cowhide is the accessory of the year, the ideal texture for the mix of aesthetics. It can be found in many variations from brindle to bleached, zebra to leopard, purple to gold splattered. A cowhide is an inexpensive way to add a trendy flair to your room whether you place it under a coffee table or use it as a tablecloth. Bend the rules and let your imagination guide your placement. High Fashion Home has a wide selection of cowhides and displays throughout the store illustrate different ways to use them. www.highfashionhome.com.

The popularity of Industrial Modern, Boho Chic and Rustic Contemporary styles allow the introduction of natural materials into the accessory category. Driftwood accents, tree trunks as end tables, tree branches as sculpture, corals, geodes, terrariums and repurposed industrial finds are interesting and inexpensive ways to add personality into your space. Found objects elevate to artistic status when put on display. A flat bowl of river rocks adds a zen vibe displayed next to a statue of Budda.

Throw pillows in bold, vibrant colors add dynamic energy to a space. The trend is still toward the plentiful use of pillows on sofas, chairs and beds. Mix graphic designs with prints and solid colors.... the mix will work as long as you repeat the same colors in other elements in your room. intown 27

SUMMER KITCHENS

Lamps are a great way to add ambience at night when overhead lighting is dimmed. Choose lamps with interest, whether it be texture, color, beading, repurposed items , or natural materials. Interesting lamps will lend flair and flavor to any space.

So many of us arrange our rooms a certain way and then never touch them again. Refresh your space by going accessory shopping in your own home. Look in other rooms for items that may be relocated. Mirrors, pottery, baskets, boxes, statues, books.... take these accessories and pile them on your dining room table. Then, “go shopping” from this source. It’s amazing how fresh you can make your spaces look with what you already have. “Refresh, Refine, Redesign.”

THE THREAD ALLIANCE A thread of love and support linked each guest at The Thread Alliance’s Blue Plate Special Kickoff Party at the venerable Brennan’s of Houston restaurant.

Guests were inspired to bring child abuse to the forefront and take action by ordering the “Blue Plate Special” and support The Thread Alliance during the month of April - also National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Janet Pozmantier

Guests enjoyed tasty lite bites, beverages and Brennan’s “Blue Plate Special” dish: Froberg Farm Strawberry Shortcake. Everyone swooned over the display of “I’m Glad I’m Me, Weaving the Thread of Love from Generation to Generation,” a book by Sheila Aron and her BabyLovies, a baby blanket weaved with the thread of love by local women that are donated to child abuse non-profits in Houston.

Sheila Aron and Roy Murray

Houston City Council Member and Mayor Pro-Tem Ed Gonzalez presented and read the proclamation from Mayor Annise Parker declaring April 2, 2015 as The Thread Alliance Child Abuse Prevention Day in Houston.

Local restaurants supported the cause by offering a “Blue Plate Special” during the month of April and donated a percentage of the proceeds to The Thread Alliance.
