Every boy remembers his first love…and for most it wasn’t a girl, but a car.  Sunday, April 24^th, step back in time with us to revisit that first love at the 9^th Annual Kingwood Spring Car Show.

Join thousands of residents and visitors to marvel at hundreds of hot rods, street rods, muscle cars, classics, monster trucks, bikes, and custom rides as they converge on Town Center Park in Kingwood, Texas.  Now in its ninth year, this event runs from noon to 6 PM, and will feature live entertainment and lots of activities for the kids.  Stroll through and around beautiful Town Center Park while enjoying great food, sweets and treats.  If you can’t make this event, mark your calendar as The Kingwood Car Show is held twice yearly – Spring and Fall.

“Our community Car Show is an event that will please the whole family,” said Ty Eckley of the Town Center Merchant Association. “We work hard to ensure that there are many children’s activities and entertainment that compliment the enormous number of absolutely stunning vehicles at the show.”

Kingwood professional organizer Ellen Delap and her company Professional - Organizer.com will be participating in this year’s Dress For Success Houston’s S.O.S. (Send One Suit) Drive.  The effort, formerly known as Clean Out Your Closet Week, provides interview suits, confidence boosts and career development to more than 45,000 women in over 75 cities each year.  Dress for Success is a not-for-profit organization that helps low-income women make tailored transitions into the workforce. Each Dress for Success client receives one suit when she has a job interview and a second suit when she gets the job.

If you would like to contribute, please bring your interview appropriate suit in excellent condition, cleaned, pressed and on a hanger to Kingwood Country Club on February 22, 2004 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.  Don’t have a suit to donate?  Dress For Success Houston suggests donating $55 toward the cost of a suit for clients over size 14. Receipts for donations will be sent directly by Dress For Success Houston.  For more information call 281-360-3928 or email delap@flash.net.
