Photography at the Dallas Arboretum April 3rd, 2010
Posted on April 6th, 2010 No comments
Paul–we had a wonderful time with both Scott and the “Amy’s”! Had an amazing lunch with them, and we weren’t crowded at all! I know that when we arrived at the handicap lot, the parking staff were very helpful and said if there was no spot, which there was, that we could pull up and do a drop off and then one of us park and take the shuttle, which would have also been fine

RISE First Annual Gala a Huge Success!
Posted on November 15th, 2009 No comments
I want to personally thank each and every one of you that attended the November 14th event held at Dave and Busters. The evening started off with a Social Hour listening to McKenzie Seaux performing live on stage. McKenzie just turned 12 years old and entertained with stories on her song writing skills followed by a great rendition of her music by this very talented young lady. The Matekis followed with an assortment of country and folk music that kept the crowd entertained throughout the evening. These artists believe in the RISE mission and also performed at our sixth annual End of Summer Bash back in September. Mike Peters Video Presentation of this year’s program pictures was a nice backdrop to the live entertainment. The Mexican buffet line was always busy. The pool and shuffle board tables stayed active as the player’s competitive energy and enthusiasm showed. The camaraderie between attendees exemplified the evening. -
RISE Photography, “Autumn at the Arboretum” 10/24/09
Posted on October 26th, 2009 4 comments
Nobody can say that photography is boring! I had a great time exploring this program for the first time at the Dallas Arboretum this past weekend. What can I say…, it was beautiful weather in the 70’s, sunny, clear skies, free admission into a well known tourist attraction where plant life and sculptures have more meaning than beauty, free lunch, fun entertainment from RISE volunteers, and most of all a new friendship with Michelle! Click Here to check out our photos and get a glimpse of what we experienced. I challenge you all to come try out this program and build your own memories and new friendships. Lea -
RISE Photography outing at the Dallas Arboretum
Posted on July 14th, 2009 No comments
RISE Photography sponsored a Photography outing at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday June 20th.The event was free to participants and their companions thanks to Dallas Arboretum. People participating had fun taking pictures, enjoying the flora, making friends and grabbing a bite to eat at the end of the day.You may ask your self is this place accessible? Yes. If you know anything about Stephanie Bowerman and Paul Gray, they do their homework. Yes there are some paths with steps, but there is always a winding paved trail that leads to the same place. Then you have people like Steve Carlson who decided to wheelie his chair down a stepped pathway. He is still here to talk about it. Read the rest of this entry »

: Yesterday was truly a lifetime experience for my son as well as our family. I was always afraid for my son to do certain activities especially dealing with water when either of us swim. He loved everything especially the jet ski. Thank you for showing us that there are no limits. we are looking to become a part of a team such as yours. I thank God for wonderful people as yourself.You all are truly a blessing to our family. I will see you in the near future to see whatever else my son can do.
: My son really enjoyed getting to play a couple of holes of golf today at North Texas Golf Center. It was great to see him not only enjoying swinging the golf club (and making contact with the ball!)but also being able to chat with his RISE friends.
: I really had a great time at the water sports at Lake Grapevine, especially riding in the motorboat and getting to help steer the sailboat. But I think my favorite activity was riding on the jet ski, which really surprised my mom who never thought I would ever get on a jet ski!!!
: This was truly the best day of my sons life where it was just enjoying the outdoors. WE experienced things we wanted to do & things we were afraid of & I truly appreciated it. THANKS
: I just wanted to Thank Rick and Annette Brauer for such a wonderful time last Saturday sailing in the open waters. I had such a "GREAT TIME" can't wait till the next time we get to go out. Thank You again!!!!!!
