Dish-Houston

Anyone who has spent a summer in Houston knows that cooling temperatures are, indeed, a reason to celebrate!

Wesley Community Center is having their End of Summer Celebration 

Thursday, August 22, 2013, 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Saint Arnold Brewery!

Everyone is invited to come together in friendship and support to "Cheer for a Cause".

As the long, hot days of summer draw to a close, we call upon our friends—old and new—supporters, and community members to join Wesley Community Center to build and strengthen our connections and raise critically important general operating funds for our Early Learning Programs, Youth Development Programming, Senior and Social Services, Community Outreach and Economic Development services and the many individuals, children and families they benefit.

They will be celebrating the growth and transformations afoot at Wesley Community Center with a fun, exciting and refreshing happy hour. Saint Arnold's Brewing Company will offer six of their best brews on tap for your enjoyment.  Quench your thirst with an ice cold brew or sample a variety. The famous Saint Arnold’s famous sweet, flavorful old-fashioned famous Root Beer will also be available. Lady Bird Food Truck will be onsite serving an array of  summer bites so you can quell your hunger, sit back and enjoy the cool vibes from the music of the Junior Jazz Quartet. Brewery tours will be available that evening and you will be able to check out the ol’ tank farm. There will also be raffel prizes for those sports loverr out there. That is the biggest hint we can share but you absolutely want to be there!

Wesley House, established in 1904, in Houston’s Northside Village neighborhood by the women of First United Methodist Church with the goal of improving the quality of life and strengthening outcomes for the community’s mothers and their young children. 109 years later, Wesley Community Center continues to strengthen the lives of children, youth, women and families on Houston’s Northside and in various low-income neighborhoods throughout the metropolitan area.  Wesley Community Center engages individuals, children and families with a comprehensive array of programs and services along the circle of life—from early childhood education, youth development programming, senior and social services, community outreach to economic development services—and is dedicated to realizing human growth, developing positive outcomes, and working to fulfill its mission to help people help themselves and each other. In 2012, Wesley Community Center served a total of 27,786 Houstonians.

Great cause, right?? See you Thursday!

Apparently there is a list on where to get the best one in Houston! DISH only partially agrees with said list...CLICK HERE for the info and let us know what you think! =)

Thursday was a big night in Houston! There was the Keller Williams Cares event at Momentum Audi to raise money for an agent who is fighting breast cancer. There was the Young Professionals FLOCK event at the Houston Zoo. There was the SPCA event at Zaza....all in all it was a fun and wonderful evening.

The above video was compiled by local photographer Todd Parker whom DISH has come to love and adore (and his DISHIE wife Cindy)! The still pics will be on the Party DISH soon but in the mean time enjoy this video from the FLOCK event! We were right next to the Giraffes and one of the baby elephants painted a picture that was auctioned off that evening. The food was provided by Grotto and Saint Arnolds was there too! GOOD BEER!!!!
