Mission Burrito in Atascocita is giving away a free kid's meal to each Halloween costumed kid this Saturday, October 31, 2009. Kids must be accompanied by an adult.

If you haven't been to Mission Burrito yet - drop what you're doing, get in the car and drive right on over for some delicious fresh food! Burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, salad & soup are items you can select to personalize with the choices like chicken, shrimp, pork or beef - then add salsa, corn, cheese, peppers, beans - whatever tickles your taste buds. My personal favorite is their Que Mas Salad. It is made with mixed greens, roasted corn, red peppers, carrots, jicama, potatoes, cheese & tortilla strips. Add the Serrano Cilantro Ranch Dressing. Yum.

BookCrossing is something I heard about from a team member. She told me it was a great way to share books with strangers. And you feel as if you are giving your books good homes. Passing the literary wealth around, if you will.

Here is what the BookCrossing website had to say:

BookCrossing is earth-friendly, and gives you a way to share your books, clear your shelves, and conserve precious resources at the same time. Through our own unique method of recycling reads, BookCrossers give life to books. A book registered on BookCrossing is ready for adventure.

Leave it on a park bench, a coffee shop, at a hotel on vacation. Share it with a friend or tuck it onto a bookshelf at the gym -- anywhere it might find a new reader! What happens next is up to fate, and we never know where our books might travel. Track the book's journey around the world as it is passed on from person to person.

Wow. This sounds interesting to me. And a way to share my love of reading with others. BookCrossing has a current membership 819,769 book lovers in nearly 150 countries. And they are growing at the rate of 300 new members daily.

It is easy to participate. You sign up, complete your profile & create a library of your books. Each book will be assigned a BookCrossing ID Number. You'll label your book with its ID number - then you can set it free!

There are community forums to interact on. Even a Newbie Forum for any questions that you may have. There is also a BookCrossing Supply Shop that has labels for your book or bookmarks that explain the program or even release bags to protect your book from the elements as it goes on its journey. Which made me think of a winged book!

Keller Williams Northeast's VIVA LAS VEGAS Gala was a Smash Hit!

Saturday, October 24, the ballroom at the Marriott Houston Airport was transformed into a glitzy Las Vegas casino for the well-attended event. Attendees dressed in their luckiest outfits checked in, received a special party bracelet, beverage tickets and a marker to be exchanged for chips for the table games.

As we continued to the main ballroom, we had the opportunity to view a variety of silent auction items that included a trip to the Grammy's, a special shopping extravaganza at Bloomingdales in New York, guitars autographed by Led Zepplin, Eric Clapton & the Rolling Stones & gift baskets of every kind. Inside the main ballroom, you were transported to Las Vegas with the brilliant decorating, lavish buffet and gaming tables.

Speaking of the lavish buffet. The guests were treated to salad, grilled vegetables, chicken alfredo pasta, stuffed chicken breasts & a prime rib carving station. A dessert bar included perfect little bites of cheesecake, both in raspberry or turtle, a strawberry cake & chocolate torte. The food was delicious.

After dinner, the fun began at the tables. All the different casino games were offered. And the guests took full advantage of playing with the provided chips. Accumulating the chips & cashing in the winnings gave extra tickets to be placed in a raffle for a fabulous all-expense-paid trip to Orlando, Florida. The dealers kept the action and laughter going at the tables. Las Vegas showgirls made the rounds handing out extra chips if you did The Robot or The Picture Frame dance for them. The pit boss made his rounds handing out extra chips "just because." The spirit of the evening was FUN!

And all this FUN had a great cause. The charity of the evening Including Kids. This local charity, directed by Jennifer Dantzler, provides for children with autism a means of educating and instructing with the ultimate goal of being a productive part of the communtiy. There are so many success stories for Including Kids - it will overwhelm you. At the Keller Williams Viva Las Vegas Gala, the stories of these young people were displayed for everyone to read and enjoy.

Another evening highlight was the entertainment. Tony Mac kept the crowd going with his vocals. Tony is an outstanding singer - if you ever have the opportunity to hear him, grab it! The dance floor was crowded with couples as well as line dancers. Everyone enjoyed the entertainment!

A huge round of applause for the co-chairs of this spectacular event, Letitia Whipple & Diana Heffner. They kept the ball rolling and with assistance from a number of the Keller Williams Northeast associates - they made it an evening to remember. Kudos also to the sponsors for their support. Event sponsors included: Comfort Concepts; Electronic Technical Services Corporation; Farmer's Insurance - Ken Pickett; Forest Image Magazine; Genesis Mortgage; Keller Williams Realty Northeast; Stewart Title; The Zach Jones Foundation; and the Houston Chronicle, The Observer and The Tribune newspapers.

Did I mention that Elvis was there?
