(Community Matters) Jodi & Fred Zipp hosted an eclectic and elite crowd tonight during the full moon – one of the best views in town and certainly one of the most beautiful homes. Enjoyed seeing tons of friends including Graham Reynolds, Jill McRae & Stephen Yelenosky, Nancy Scanlon, Mike Levy, Tony Plohetski, Scott & Jill Stevens and tons others

(Community Matters) Center 61 opening tonight – the Entrepreneurs Foundation and Steven Tomlinson move in tomorrow.

(Community Matters) Last night celebrated Suzanne Deal Booth and Rice University’s dedication of the James Turrell Skyspace. Suzanne & David Booth generously underwrote the Skyspace.

Hoping the rendering posts here as well (sending from my blackberry). This installation will be the third sacred space in Houston, joining the Rothoko & Byzzantine Fresco chapels. Appropriate that Suzanne is presenting this gift to Houston since her mentor & patron, Dominique de Menil gifted the Rothko & Byzzantine.

Fun & quick trip w/ Suzanne & David, Lindsey & Ford Smith and Aide Dieck. Steven & I are constantly inspired by our friends’ generosity – yesterday a double dose. Posted from my blackberry

(Community Matters) Foundation Communities dedicated it’s M Station learning center (in transit-oriented development at MLK Commuter Station) yesterday. They named it the Meredith Learning Center in recognition of Tom & Lynn Meredith’s vision for the former Featherlite site, in recognition of the entire Meredith family’s largess – a half million dollar grant & another half million dollar unsecured & subordinated loan helped finance M Station’s development. Will Meredith spoke on behalf of his family, noting the importance of place and FC & Open Door Preschool’s success helping families climb out of poverty and low income. Posted from my blackberry
