Scene Around Town, Katy Trail Weekly (Jan. 15, 2021)

I recently joined the Katy Trail Weekly as their new Society Editor and am overseeing the publication's Scene Around Town feature, which shines a spotlight on nonprofit events each week. Due to the pandemic, in-person events have not been happening with the prolific nature that we are used to, so we are expanding our photo coverage to include "events" on a broader scale such as acts of volunteerism, golf tournaments, coat drives, food donations, community outreach, etc. Anything that ties to a nonprofit or good works in the community will be considered. In the January 15-21 issue, I was pleased to spotlight acts of volunteerism from AWARE and Mercury One.

Have a charitable event you’d like to submit? Here’s what you need to email me:

  • Events will be featured in either 2 shots, 4 shots or 8 shots. It’s better to have too much to choose from than not enough, so send what you have!

  • Horizontal shots are preferred. If you send me vertical shots, just know that they will be cropped to horizontal

  • No repeats (unless it is a celebrity and then maybe 2 shots with the same person)

  • You must ID the people in each photo (left to right)

  • Tell me the name of the event and the location of where it was held

  • Please send one event submission per email. If you have three events to submit, send me 3 different emails
