"Hope everyone in Houston is okay, and if you and your family are and in a position to help, we are trying to direct all of our volunteer services toward hurricane recovery. If you can volunteer, please call Kirti at 713-560-1907. She’ll be able to direct you to where help is needed most.

We’ll get through this.

Best Wishes,

Michael"
