Fort Bend Focus Honors the JEWELS of Fort Bend is scheduled for Thursday, September 20, 2012 with a premier Luncheon and Style Show featuring fashions by Dillard’s honoring this year’s Fort Bend JEWELS – five Joyous, Extraordinary Women Enriching Lives. Fort Bend Focus Magazine is pleased to introduce the five JEWELS selected for 2012: Sandra Billingsley, Jacquie Chaumette, Mary Favre, Melissa Hayslip and Kathy Huebner. From the Fort Bend Junior Service League to the Sugar Land Cultural Arts Foundation to the Lamar Education Awards Foundation, these women are all committed to making our community the best place to live, work and raise our families. Fort Bend Focus Magazine is pleased to recognize their efforts while doing something that they all feel passionate about: supporting our community. Proceeds from Fort Bend Focus Honors the JEWELS of Fort Bend will be invested back into our community by supporting a worthy organization: Casa de Esperanza. The mission of Casa de Esperanza de los Ninos - the House of Hope for Children - is to provide a safe place for children in crisis due to abuse, neglect or the effects of HIV. Casa de Esperanza provides residential, medical and psychological care according to the needs of each child. In 2010, the Fort Bend County Program of Casa de Esperanza provided 15 Fort Bend children with 3,057 days of care, and six community foster families currently resident in Fort Bend.
