SUMMER: TAKE TIME TO UNPLUG AND ENJOY FAMILY
For the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, it's been a pretty action packed first half of the year. We had an awesome Fiesta Night at the Rodeo, a couple of eventful Five Pillar Lecture Series luncheons and one of the best American Salute Galas to date! This time of year, with most out on summer break, we get a chance to regroup, modify and work on projects that are sure to keep us busy in the fall.
This summer, I would also like to encourage my team, our members and our community to take a minute and enjoy family. You know the old saying..."work hard, play hard." Well, some of us forget to play hard. I was certainly guilty of that for many years but I can tell you from personal experience, not taking a minute to recharge can take a toll on you, your family and your productivity at work.
So on behalf of the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, please stop for a breather and have a safe, fun and family-filled summer! Look for some exciting things to come this fall.
