FASHION SHOW & LUNCHEON A NEAR SELLOUT

As we prepare this edition of the RECORDER, we are pleased
to report that our luncheon and fashion show at Neiman Marcus on
Wednesday, April 25, is nearly sold out. This year's event honors
Barbara and Ulyesse LaGrange. Our thanks to Philamena Baird for her
outstanding leadership in chairing this second annual fundraiser.
The fashions of designer Piazza Sempione will be featured. There
will also be a silent auction and raffle, so once again this will be
an incredible event!

VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION RECEPTION SET FOR APRIL 29

Mark your calendars and plan to attend the Annual Volunteer
Recognition Reception on Sunday, April 29, 2007, from 2-4 p.m. at
Taping World Headquarters (3935 Essex Lane). This is a great
opportunity to rub elbows with some of the world's finest folks,
Taping volunteers! We don't get to say "Thank You" nearly enough
for the great work you do, so please plan to attend.

In order to judge how many shrimp to buy, Carol would appreciate it
if you would advise her that you plan to attend. All volunteers are
invited and each may bring a guest as well.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR WORKING WITH THE RODEO

The 75th edition of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is
now in the record books and we want to thank our description team
that covered the rodeo parade as well as six rodeo performances.
Our describers for the rodeo work in pairs so one can keep talking
when something breathtaking is happening, which happens a lot,
particularly during the bull riding. Thanks to veteran describers
Fay Peters, Ted Pfister, and Bill White for their good work and help
provided to new describers Brian Batenchuk, Valerie Lozada, John
Jacob, and K.C. Jobe. We are very proud of our history with the
Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, and we offer our congratulations to
them on another spectacular job this year!

TAPING GOLF TOURNAMENT SET FOR NOVEMBER 2, 2007

Planning is well underway for the Taping Golf Tournament to
be held Friday, November 2, 2007, at the Longwood Golf Club. As we
understand it, the morning will be for golf, followed by a luncheon
and silent auction with lots of fun stuff. Please let us know if
you or your spouse is a golfer as we want to invite you to bring a
foursome and play a round on behalf of Taping.
