Special thanks go to Alice Weiser, professional
graphoanalysist, who enlightened the HACOC August
17, 2010 attendees on revelations embedded in
handwriting, body language and other physical
attributes.  Such knowledge has made her an
outstanding authority whose presentation is much
sought as a speaker and entertainer.  Alice is shown
above center with Staci Pacheco, Director of Operations
at Preferred Medical Transport, (shown right).  The
company was the August 17 meeting sponsor.  At left is

HACOC was privileged to be a beneficiary
of the July 11, 2010 FASHIONISTA
EXPRESS.  Shown at the  July 20 HACOC
meeting is organizer HELENA BASS, as she
presents a $500 donation to the
Houston
Area Continuity of Care Discretionary Fund.

The event, which was held at The Forum at
Memorial Woods, featured a wardrobe
exchange of  clothing, shoes, handbags and
accessories that needed new homes.
Participants could bring 10 or more clean,
gently used items and choose up to 10 pieces
from the collection others brought to the
event.  We thank Helena for her generosity
to HACOC and those to whom we offer
assistance.
