The Houston Colony held its annual spring event on Saturday, May 9, at Fratelli’s Restaurant, where members gathered for a spring meeting and dessert social. The program featured Governor General Lisa Pennington as the guest speaker. Her presentation, titled “Telling the Story,” offered an inspiring reflection on the importance of preserving and sharing the narratives that shape our heritage.
During the event, the Houston Colony proudly recognized Danial Lundberg, an accomplished Eagle Scout, as the 2026 Scholarship Award recipient. Danial will begin his studies at the University of Houston this fall and was awarded a $1,620 scholarship in support of his academic journey.
The Houston Colony members extended their commitment to service through a fun and generous collection of more than 40 new stuffed animals! I had the honor of delivering them to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services Rainbow Room, supporting the BEAR (Be A Resource) program. These donations will provide comfort and emotional support to children entering or experiencing foster care.
