UNITED
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
There are an additional
10 agency partners who are
specifically working with
United Way’s local kinder-
garten readiness initiatives,
which focuses to increase
the number of children
who arrive at kindergarten
with age-appropriate de-
velopment and skill levels.
Volunteers, such as
Kevin Trailer, believe
that growth in the city of
Baytown is being reflect-
ed in United Way agencies
and whom they are serv-
ing.
Over time, there are not
necessarily more needs
happening but an increase
in the number of people be-
ing served in such areas as
housing, food, and shelter,
among other things.
“You get everything that
comes with a growing city,
such as more retail oppor-
tunities, but growth also
brings more people who
bring more needs,” said
Trailer, United Way's cam-
paign chair for the second
year and city of Baytown’s
assistant city manager.
“These partner agencies
with limited resources are
taking on the challenges
of supporting our growing
cities, so it is the least I
can do to work as hard as I
can to get them the funding
they need,” Trailer said. “1
don’t think anything has
changed in term of what
these agencies provide, but
they are having to provide
them to a much larger com-
munity.”
Ed Davis, board presi-
dent for United Way, said
Baytown’s community has
continued to be supportive
over the years.
Employees at Davis’
company, ZXP Technol-
ogies in Highlands, have
already began making con-
tributions to United Way.
“Our campaign has
grown every year at our
workplace,” Davis said.
“The participation has been
extremely well accepted by
employees here. There is a
great deal of excitement
and although we’ve only
received back 100 of our
30Q pledge forms, we've
already exceeded last
year’s amount pledged.”
This year’s increased
$3.3 million goal is based
on United Way’s push to
get its kindergarten readi-
ness program rolling, but
Davis sees other needs
coming in the future.
Those needs include
Meals on Wheels as the na-
tion’s Baby Boomer pop-
ulation retires, as well as
a continued need for early
education initiatives.
“You can’t miss any-
body,” Davis said.
How much will you need
to retire? Let’s talk.

EHCMA announces scholarship
opportunities for college students
The East Harris Coun-
ty Manufacturers Asso-
ciation is partnering with
San Jacinto College and
Lee College to establish
12 $4 ,000 scholarships
for the 2013-2014 year
that will support students
who are interested in pur-
suing skilled trades in the
petrochemical industry.
The scholarships will
be awarded to six stu-
dents at San Jacinto Col-
lege and six students at
Lee College who meet
the program require-
ments and are pursuing
an associate of applied
science in either process
technology, instrumenta-
tion technology, electri-
cal technology, welding
technology, millwright-
ing technology, machin-
ing technology or pipefit-
ting technology at either
college.
In addition to the finan-
cial benefit of the schol-
arship, EHCMA is work-
ing to align scholarship
recipients with mentors
in their respective fields
of study. Mentors would
offer experiential support
of the student’s chosen
career path.
“Having an industry
professional who can
provide knowledge and
career advice would be
a major benefit for stu-
dents,” said EHCMA
board chairman John
Parkinson. “This rela-
tionship will help stu-
dents build one-on-one
communication skills
and provide support for
their studies, as well as
serve as a networking
opportunity for future job
placement.”
To be eligible for the
scholarship, applicants
must have a cumulative
GPA of 2.75 or above

cific courses during each

BIBLE VERSE
Happy are those who do
not follow the advice of the
wicked, or take the path that
sinners tread, or sit in the
seat of scoffers; but their
delight is in the law of the
Lord, and on his law they
meditate day and night.
They are like trees planted
by streams of water, which
yield their fruit in its sea-
son, and their leaves do not
wither. In all that they do,
they prosper.
-Psalm 1:1-3
