MAY HAS ARRIVED…
Happy May everybody and welcome to summer…almost! This is one of our favorite issues to produce each year. Why, because every May, we hold our Ladies of Memorial Community Icon Awards Luncheon at Hotel Zaza. This event is designed to honor ten ladies from the Memorial community for their love and dedication to make the community a better place in their own way. Read all about this year’s nominees and their passion projects starting on Page 9!
Are you ready for Mother’s Day? On page 52 we bring you a few ideas and some pretty swoonworthy gift ideas that will make mom smile. Then, check out page 55 as Debbie Clemens brings us some Fab Finds for mom too!
School is out and it’s graduation in Memorial. All of us at Swoon Media would like to congratulate our amazing graduating Memorial area seniors. We not only think you are swoonworthy, but we are excited to see what is in store for your future! Read this year’s graduation announcements in our senior’s section beginning on page 59.
On Page 33, our Noteworthy neighbors are raising organ donor awareness.
In honor of Kelly Taff, Page 42 we introduce you to Source Vital Apothecary, growing and glowing, and don’t miss a Little Piece of History brought to you by The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park, celebrating 70 years of Houston’s living History.
Finally, I would like to wish all mom’s a wonderful Mother’s Day. Also, I personally would like to wish a special Mother’s Day to our Editorial Manager Gabby Garcia, who lost her mother and best friend just this past March. Go celebrate your mom! #hugyourmoms
Sincerely,
Lara Bell, Publisher & Editor
