Podcast: Happy Thanksgiving from the Weinstein Team

We have plenty to be thankful for here at the Weinstein Team. We are thankful that the things we do keep us so connected to our community. If you don’t know, the Weinstein Team includes Weinstein Law, Weinstein Real Estate, Henderson County Now, the Uncle Fletch Festival, and the Silver Screen Movie Club.

In today’s podcast, I ask Jeff Weinstein what he’s thankful for.

PODCAST: Dr. Fran, East Texas Crisis Center, Family Peace Project, and the Help Center

Dr. Francine McCain of Ask Dr. Fran fame presented checks to the East Texas Crisis Center, The Henderson County Help Center, and the Family Peace Project this week. The money came from a year-long fundraising effort in her office.

Because of the check presentation, I was lucky enough to get the leaders from three important organizations: Mary Farmer of the Family Peace Project, Della Cooper of the East Texas Crisis Center, and Leslie Saunders of the Help Center.
