My Soul in a Basket

7 x 9.5 framed

By Ellie Ivanova

Roses carry a rich symbolism as images - they stand for love and
heartache, beauty and thorny resilience. In this small basket, some
roses are fresh while others have faded, just like a person’s soul is
in a constant renewal of memories, emotions and motivations: some
stay, others go away. Instead of expressing sadness for what we have
lost, the intention behind this image is to inspire hope and desire to
move ahead and grow.

HWNT_FW Goes Uptown

by Pat Alva-Green Vice Chair for PR and Communications

On Friday, September 4^th, the Social-List non-profit organization held their monthly mixer at Aura Uptown. The featured non-profit organization was the Fabulous HWNT Fort Worth Chapter. Several of the HWNT members;  Pat Alva-Green, Nancy Galvan, Dolores Lukach, Diane Salazar and Victoria Ruiz mixed and mingled with over 100 attendees. An area was beautifully setup to showcase the organization, promote the upcoming Latina Art Show, recruit members, sponsors and art donations.

The Social List organization gave Pat Alva-Green, PR Vice Chair, the opportunity to speak to all the attendees about the great work HWNT is doing.  M Strategies, a corporate partner, provided the opportunity for HWNT-FW to be the featured non-profit organization and also facilitated key introductions with the media, potential sponsors and members.
