HOUSTON - Mayor Sylvester Turner, city leaders and guests will celebrate the life and legacy of former First Lady Barbara Bush Thursday evening.
The event will be held at 6 p.m. at Hermann Square at Houston City Hall, 901 Bagby.A
As we celebrate the life of the former First Lady, we want to offer you an opportunity to Stand for Houston in a way that fits her legacy.
Because her literacy campaign was so important to her, KHOU 11 is collecting books in her memory to donate to the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation and Books Between Kids. They’re asking for new or like-new children’s books.
You’ll find collection bins at the Barbara Bush Library Plaza on McKinney Street beginning Thursday at 4 p.m. through 7 p.m.
There will also be note cards there so you can leave the Bush family a message.
Remembering her service, and taking time to express our appreciation… that’s how we Stand for Houston.
