Sneak peek at the Aug/Sept Charm cover!
Here’s a look at our August/September issue of Charm, which will be included in your home delivered paper bright and early July 30th!
Our beautiful cover photo of Bianca Herrera was taken by the talented Maria Alanis of Nuevo Milenio Photography.
In this issue, you’ll learn about the Hispanic tradition of celebrating a young woman’s 15th birthday with a quinceanera. I was excited to experience Bianca’s special day with her family and friends.
Also in this issue, are the Rhythm Rocker Cloggers, a high-energy group of women who, through their clogging ability, act as fun and enthusiastic ambassadors of East Texas. After reading Michele Marcotte’s story about the group, I’m seriously thinking of taking lessons!
In our Daytripper feature, we’ll take you to the Rangerette Showcase and Museum in Kilgore, to find out more about this high-kicking group of ladies who mesmerize crowds wherever they perform.
We also talked with some enterprising women who work from their homes, to learn more about how they balance their home and work lives.
And, we’ll hear from S.F.A. student Kendal Martel, who during a trip to the African slums of Kibera, learned of a grassroots movement designed to empower women and free them from the grips of poverty.
As always, there is much more inside that you won’t want to miss!

Guess who’s going to be in the next Charm?
We caught up with the Rhythm Rocker Cloggers as they were preparing for an upcoming exhibition. Read about them in our next issue, out on July 30th.
In the meantime, I happened to find a couple of videos of some of their past performances. What fun!

Longhorn Brandon Belt offering baseball lessons
While at The Very Thing! in Lufkin today, I noticed a sign posted on the door which noted that Texas Longhorn Brandon Belt, who was recently drafted by San Francisco, is offering baseball lessons to area youth.
Wow! What a great opportunity to learn from a local boy made good.
He’s available to help with pitching, hitting or other baseball skills.
