HARC's Third Annual
Let's Talk Luncheon
March 7, 2013
Luncheon chairs, Kristi and Ken Breaux, with honorary chairs, Annette and George Strake, welcomed over 450 guests to honor Dr. Blair Justice at the River Oaks Country Club for the "Let's Talk Luncheon," on March 7, 2013, benefiting the Houston Aphasia Recovery Center (HARC). The event was a touching tribute to Dr. Justice, who, after suffering a stroke in 2008 with resulting aphasia, helped found HARC and made it his legacy.
Luncheon speaker, Sean Maloney, former Chairman of Intel China, shared the compelling story of his life with aphasia and inspirational journey to find his voice again. Maloney, who has been described as "one of the world's best
communicators," captivated the guests with his dynamic words expressing that, even faced with aphasia, the most important lesson is to "NEVER GIVE UP."
