Houston E&A Gives Back!

Today is another really PROUD day for all the members of Events & Adventures. I'm heading to the food bank soon to donate all the canned food items and cash you raised. Over $200 and a lot of canned food were donated. You guys showed up in force event though it was 40 degrees and all you guys played your tails off! Congrats to the winners. Big ups to everyone who came out and cheered for our people especially Darrin for going all out cheering with the face paint & thanks to the hosts Kevin & Melanie. Big thanks to The Washington Avenue Drinkery for donating prizes and hosting the court! So far this year we have raised over $3k for charity, tons of toys for tots and now a lot of food for the needy people of Houston! I'm really honored to be your Events Manager! You guys rock! - Reid

What is Wallyball?

Wallyball!!  What is it?  Most people don’t have a clue but we sure do.  It’s a wacky game of volleyball played indoors in a racquetball court.  Every month we reserve a court just for our members to go in and whack away!  Wallyball is really unique because unlike volleyball, where height and jumping ability is superior, knowing how to hit off the walls in wallyball is just as important!  It takes some getting used to but when you figure it out it is a lot of fun…not to mention a really fun way to burn some calories before our Thanksgiving feast! Events And Adventures Houston

Another Awesome E&A Trip Coming Up!

Can't wait to hang out with over 40 of my E&A friends on the 18th Annual Events and Adventures Whistler Ski Trip. We will be leaving on Thanksgiving, but will get there in time for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with our E&A family. We will be staying in the Village for easy access to Chairlifts and Gondolas for some AWESOME skiing during the day and all the nightlife at night! We let you know how it all turns out, but if it is anything like past years there will be much to talk about!                  Events And Adventures Houston

Cheering On Our Hometown Team!

You couldn't have written a better script for our first Houston Rockets basketball experience of 2013!  First off; our lower level seats were amazing.  There’s nothing like being right down by the action for a sweet discounted price!  The Rockets showed off their talent as Dwight Howard had a big first half and Jeremy Lin finished the game strong with a game high 31 points!  It wasn't easy though as The Rockets needed double overtime to defeat the Raptors.  Meeting new people, having fun & cheering on our hometown team is a winning combination!

November to Remember!

October is over now it's time for a November to remember!  The weather is beautiful and being outside this month is going to bring the people out!  Sand volleyball on Tuesday was one of the largest crowds ever and we're going to keep the good times rollin' on.  The end of the year brings about a lot of stress so while it's still only November let's have some fun!  We've still got a few great seats left for the Rockets game next week and Games next Saturday Night will be huge!  Don't forget to sign up for the big Sunday Funday & Canned Food Drive later this month!

Our Big Trip to Peru....

For those of you that were not able to go on this trip, here is a part of their Adventure as told by your very own Event Manager Reid who was the Event Host for this trip.....

I took this picture at our basecamp at Soraypampa, Peru roughly 3,800 meters up in the Andes Mountains.  After completing the first days 7 hour hike in the lead group I see a bright light of confidence and accomplishment in my eyes.  Day 2 would destroy that light like a waterfall crushing the faint light of a candle.  After “sleeping” through rough winds, cold temperatures and a choir of wild dogs; the banging on our tent at  5 AM wasn’t the best wake up call I have ever had.  This was the start of the most challenging day of my life.  Fighting altitude, rough terrain and fatigue I would eventually reach the height of our trek 15,220 ft…before lunch;  A grueling 4 hour hike up over 3,000 feet in a matter of hours.  As I passed another adventurer up the trail he said something to me I would never forget.  He was much older than me and he looked at me through tired yet excitedly hopeful eyes and said “Have you ever had so much fun being miserable?” It was a quote that I will always remember because I never want to forget that the things in life worth striving for often require the most challenging journeys.  Learning to love the journey is what Events & Adventures is all about every single day.

All of our Trips are open to members from any of our Clubs.

Congratulation Laura and Chris!

I'm engaged to the most amazing man, counting the days until I'm his wife, and I never would have met him without E&A. We first met when I was hosting Broomball and we saw each other at various events over the next two months, and finally played a game together at a games night and starting spending more time together. He finally asked me out, and we recently celebrated our two year anniversary. Thank you E&A for helping our paths cross!
