Through <strong>August</strong> 26 th - “<strong>The</strong> Faces of Syrian Refugees,” by photographer<br />
Michael S Cohen, consists of life sized color portraits accompanied<br />
by Proust questionnaire style interviews, offering an intimate visit with<br />
20 Syrian refugees. <strong>The</strong> exhibition will also include a special feature<br />
of Houston-area Holocaust survivors Naomi Warren, Lea Weems, Ruth<br />
Steinfeld, Anna and Emil Steinberger, Bill Orlin and Renee Danziger,<br />
who thrived after being one-time refugees in America. After a 25-year<br />
hiatus, Cohen worked with a dozen non-profits in fields ranging from<br />
education, to felon rehabilitation in inner city youth. During this time,<br />
he watched with horror as a Syrian war escalated and the refugee crisis<br />
reached unimaginable proportions. An idea formed to travel and meet<br />
successfully resettled Syrian refugees, photograph and interview them.<br />
Since the war began in 2011, millions of Syrians have been displaced<br />
from their homes, and their country. <strong>The</strong> subjects come from all walks<br />
of life and now are engaged in everything from teaching art classes<br />
to volunteering as museum docents to conducting a Syrian expat<br />
orchestra. During the atrocities of WWII, Holocaust survivors were<br />
uprooted from their homelands and resettled in other countries. More<br />
than one half of all European Jews perished by the end of WWII; many<br />
who survived picked up the pieces of their shattered lives and moved<br />
forward. A special feature will be included in this exhibition depicting<br />
the images and stories of several local Holocaust survivors upon their<br />
arrival in Houston prior to 1955 and how they worked hard to achieve<br />
the American dream. <strong>The</strong> exhibition is on view through Sunday, <strong>August</strong><br />
26, <strong>2018</strong>, in the Mincberg Gallery. This exhibition is traveled by Art2Art<br />
Circulating Exhibitions.<br />
<strong>August</strong> 31 st - NOLA Nights with Rouxpour. Come out and let authentic<br />
New Orleans music take you on a historical journey through the Crescent<br />
City tradition with live music from <strong>The</strong> Zydeco Dots! Also, please<br />
be sure to visit Rouxpour on the plaza; they will be serving small plates<br />
and beer. For more information, visit<br />
www.sugarlandtownsquare.com.<br />
<strong>August</strong> 31 st - September 2 nd - <strong>The</strong> Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival<br />

Join a group of people dedicated to improving the lives of children. If you<br />
are searching for a good cause to lend a hand to, you need look no further.<br />
Houston Children’s Charity is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated<br />
to improving the quality of life for underprivileged, abused and disabled<br />
children who have been otherwise left behind. <strong>The</strong> scope of our support is<br />
limited only by the availability of resources. Our goal, the rainbow that we<br />
chase, is to leave no legitimate request for assistance unanswered.<br />
Do you have the time and desire to volunteer to help a great cause? We are<br />
always in need of volunteers to help throughout the year. This is a great<br />
way for school age kids to get in community service hours. Do you have<br />
gently used children’s clothing, shoes and jackets? At Houston Children’s<br />
Charity we are setting up the “HCC Closet.” All of the items donated will be<br />
given to children - not sold at a retail store. Please contact our office at 713-<br />
524-2878 or visit our website www.houstonchildrenscharity.org for more<br />
information on our organization.<br />
STANDUP FOR KIDS<br />
How would you feel if you saved a kid’s life? StandUp For Kids is an all<br />
volunteer organization dedicated to saving the lives of at-risk and homeless<br />
kids through volunteer outreach efforts. Our volunteers search the streets<br />
in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids<br />
improve their lives. Every day throughout the US thirteen kids die on the<br />
streets from abuse, disease and suicide. According to recent statistics<br />
Houston has up to 2,500 kids living on the streets at any given time. Texas<br />
has the highest rate of homeless youth in the U.S.<br />
StandUp For Kids needs supplies for our Houston program, which provides<br />
food, clothing, counseling and a safe environment for the homeless youth of<br />
Houston. If you or your organization would like to hold a food or clothing drive<br />
for StandUp For Kids, please contact me at HeatherE@standupforkids.org to<br />
learn more about StandUp For Kids or how you can help, visit our website at<br />
www.standupforkids.org. <strong>The</strong> single greatest need, for homeless and street<br />
kids is our continuous caring and real support. We must convince them that<br />
we care, we want them back and we want to help them get off the streets.<br />
ADOPT A US SOLDIER<br />
Adopt A US Soldier is a non-profit organization that seeks volunteers and donors<br />
to help show the brave men and women fighting for our freedom that their<br />
sacrifices will not go unnoticed. It connects supportive civilians with deployed<br />
soldiers and offers a channel by which to communicate encouragement and<br />
express gratitude to those serving in the United States Armed Forces. Adopt<br />
A US Soldier is sustained by its volunteer workforce located across the United<br />
States. After a supporter asked a soldier what they needed, his response was<br />
as follows: “No requests, just don’t want to be forgotten.” -LCPL O.J.T. III. When<br />
registering for Adopt A US Soldier your involvement can range from writing<br />
letters and sending postcards, to mailing care packages full of items a soldier<br />
may need or want. Handwritten letters are most important and meaningful to<br />
soldiers. Adopt A US Soldier encourages civilians to adopt a soldier to show<br />
your support for those that are making sacrifices for our country. If interested,<br />
please go to www.adoptaussoldier.org to register.<br />

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)<br />
When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. That’s<br />
difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities arranged<br />

themselves and make their money last a whole month. Fortunately, Child<br />
protective Services offers them a program to help prepare for independence:<br />
Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). <strong>The</strong> year-long course culminates in an all-day<br />
workshop hosted by the National Council for Jewish Women (NCJW). <strong>The</strong> course<br />
is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by<br />
local businesses. Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change<br />
lives with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see<br />

Gardening Tips<br />
for <strong>August</strong><br />
• Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.<br />
• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves<br />
and dead wood. Light green leaves may signify lack of iron<br />
(chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates.<br />
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal<br />
around the roots.<br />
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth.<br />
• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.<br />
• Chinch bug damage is obvious now. You will have areas of thin<br />
and/or dead turf where they weren’t brought under control.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a new generation going now. This batch causes the<br />
most damage. Use Dursban to stop the damage.<br />
• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St. <strong>August</strong>ine<br />
grass grows slowly. If you fill in with sod, don’t expect a fast<br />
turnaround. <strong>The</strong> sod may look like it’s not growing while it<br />
puts down roots. You will need to water the new sod often<br />
and deeply to get it started but this also creates a disease<br />
environment. Water early so the sun can dry the turf.<br />
• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till them up, add<br />
organic material, mix it in, then let them cure for a month or so.<br />
Add in any amendments like micro-nutrients. Keep the beds<br />
moist so the microorganisms have a favorable environment.<br />
