DOCTORS OF CHARITY AND TRIAD GLOBAL INCORPORATED HOST

FUNDRAISER FOR CLEAN WATER INITIATIVE FOR THE NIGER DELTA

Houston, Texas – Doctors of Charity in partnership with Triad Global Incorporated (TGI) of Atlanta, GA will be hosting a cocktail/ fundraiser at the St. Regis Hotel 1919 Briar Oaks Lane, Houston 7-8.30 pm Wednesday, May 7, 2014. The event will have in attendance Physicians, Environmentalist, Corporate Executives and Executives of the TGI Companies that operate within Nigeria. The goal is to assist TGI and fund the deployment of a number of these Triad systems to communities with the most urgent needs. It is the hope to provide clean water for at least 200 communities before the end of 2015.

In support of the Nigerian Government’s efforts to meet this important public health objective, Doctors of Charity has chosen to partner with Triad Global Incorporated (TGI) of Atlanta GA, in particular because of their knowledge of the terrain in Nigeria as well as their genuine commitment to the health and well-being of the communities with which they work. TGI’s Global Health Water Purification System is a water purification system, which has been successfully deployed around the globe. TGI’s system in very simple step converts contaminated and impure water to drinkable and safe forms (without needing electric power), providing portable drinking water to thousands of people daily. It remains noteworthy that previous effort by TGI to gain adequate access to provide their service systems across Nigeria have largely been unsuccessful, but will be generously supported for greater access.

The objective of this partnership between Doctors of Charity and TGI, in what is now known as “DOCTORS CHARITY CLEAN WATER INITIATIVE FOR THE NIGER DELTA (DCCWI-ND)”, is to raise funds, deploy and implement 200 units of the TGI system across identified communities of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The Niger Delta communities and the oil companies that operate within and around these communities continue to partner on various social development projects. We have chosen to exploit our network in the region, and utilize the opportunity of the presence of representatives of the operating companies in Houston for the OTC, to formally launch the inaugural fund raiser for the initiative and to get all the participants in the oil and gas industry to commit to and support this initiative.

Two Entrepreneurial/Small Business Opportunities for Veterans.

Wednesday, May 7, 1pm - The House Small Business Committee 
This Wednesday, May 7th at 1 pm the House Small Business Committee will highlight initiatives that have helped Veterans become Entrepreneurs.  The House Small Business Committee, under the chairmanship of Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO), will hold a hearing Wednesday titled, Military to Entrepreneurship: Private Sector Initiatives to Help Veterans Pursue Business Opportunities.  
 
The hearing will highlight veteran-owned small businesses, as well as private sector efforts that have helped them succeed. Veterans that have served since 2001 face higher unemployment rates than the rest of the population, and by 2040, they will make up more than 50 percent of the total veteran population. While facing challenges in transitioning to new civilian jobs after time in the military, returning service members possess leadership skills that naturally translate to entrepreneurship. In response, several private initiatives have been launched to assist our nation’s heroes to transfer unique skills gained during military service to the world of business.

AML WEEKEND IN REVIEW: THE CREATIVE COALITION AND ‘SUPPER SUITE BY STK’ DAZZLES DC WITH GALA BENEFIT DINNER CELEBRATING ARTS IN AMERICA AND THE LAUNCH OF STK DC

On Friday, May 2, All Media Linked attended the A-List Communications’ ‘Supper Suite by STK’ hosted The Creative Coalition’s annual Celebration of Arts in America last evening at the just-opened STK DC on DuPont Circle. The annual benefit dinner capped a full day of celebrity advocacy on Capitol Hill in support of the arts in America with an exceptional evening of food and beverages helmed by STK DC chef Marc Hennessy. STK DC, FIJI Water, Maestro Dobel Tequila, and Blue Moon Brewing graciously supported the charity event.

 ON THE RED CARPET TOP (LEFT TO RIGHT): Mae Whitman; Tim Daly & Robin Bronk; Rose McGowan; John Leiguizamo; Wendi McLendon-Covey; Drake Bell; BOTTOM:  Dean Norris; Constance Zimmer; Joe Morton; Perianne Boring; Jeffrey Tambor & Robin Bronk; and Sean Giambrone.

Celebrity guests included Drake Bell (“Drake & Josh”), Tim Daly (“Private Practice”), Sean Giambrone (“The Goldbergs”), Jonathan Groff  (Frozen), Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild), John Leguizamo (Ice Age), Rose McGowan (“Charmed”), Wendi McLendon-Covey (“The Goldbergs”, Bridesmaids), AnnaSophia Robb (“The Carrie Diaries”), Joe Morton (“Scandal”), Jeffrey Tambor (“Arrested Development”), Dean Norris (“Breaking Bad”), Mae Whitman (“Parenthood”), and Constance Zimmer (“The Newsroom”) and other guests including E! News Talent Alicia Quarles and DC’s senator Paul Strauss.

Guests dined on the STK chopped salad (pickled pears, avocado, hearts of palm, spring peas with yuzu vinaigrette); striped bass, Amish chicken, and of course petite filet mignon with spinach and potato puree, with an almond fudge brownie topped with white and gold chocolate ribbons for dessert. Signature cocktails featured the Dobel Tequila™ Black Diamond Margarita rimmed with Hawaiian black sea salt; orange-garnished beers from Blue Moon Brewing Company, Landmark and Justin wines, and FIJI Water, the #1 imported premium bottled water brand.  

  

Overheard:  The evening started with Forbes business writer Perianne Boring (“Boring Economics”) ambushing the red carpet, channeling her best Olivia Munn. Rose McGowan told a guest, “I made my first publicist a stud.  In fact, I made ALL my publicists studs.  The men, anyway.” Constance Zimmer said, “Gray’s Anatomy?”  All anyone wants to talk about here is “House of Cards.”  She later gave AnnaSophia Robb and Mae Whitman hair tips in the bathroom.   Joe Morton joked to the host, “Don’t believe everything you see on TV,” about his vicious character on “Scandal.”   Emile Hirsch chatted up AnnaSophia Robb. Alicia Quarles helped close the event down, taking photos of the splendid room and girls dancing, promising to plug the restaurant in an upcoming segment.  She said she would mention STK DC in her upcoming E! News segment covering White House Correspondents’ Weekend.

All Media Linked Team was onsite at the event. Our Celebrity Photographer Andrew Kober (www.PressPlayPhoto.com) and Spruce from 100Clan chatted up with celebrities.
