Books and brunch

Ann McIntyre, Laura Vince, Vicki Knowles, Arlene Henslee, and Allison Knowles (pictured, from left) gathered at The Briar Club for the Books & Brunch event supporting Assistance League of Houston (ALH). This event marks 57 years of ALH, an organization that supports education and volunteerism in the community. Guests heard from keynote speaker Jean Becker, former Houston chief of staff to President George H. W. Bush, who shared memories of her time with President and Mrs. Bush. The event also highlighted the partnership between ALH and Houston Community College (HCC), with ALH supporting HCC’s VAST program for students with cognitive disabilities.
