DNC Worldwide

News & Notables

A big THANK YOU to all the ninjas that came out to participate in our First Annual DNC Paintball Wars this past Sunday. Despite numerous bruises and draining perhaps all my remaining life force for the day, I can say this was an awesome time! We got wrecked all day by professionals carrying automatic weapons and propane tanks on their backs but we walked away with the moral victory. Now we have until next year to amass arms!

Props to Eddie, JR, Rich, Barry, Kim, Angela, Patrick, Eric P, Kris, Jess, and myself  for being warriors today!

Also, I want to recognize my awesome sister, Cristina Calimbas, and Barry Laminack’s dear wife Nora on passing their Nursing Clinical Exams this past month and officially attaining the title of Registered Nurse. Congratulations you two!

Friday, July 16 – Blood Drive in memory of Vanessa Serrano

Belinda Serrano of Elite MMA Baytown is organizing a blood drive in  memory of her daughter, Vanessa, who passed away at 6-months old. Born on July 8, Vanessa would have been 17 years old this year. Belinda usually donates blood every year in honor of her daughter. Upon telling Vanessa’s story to the folks over at Elite MMA Baytown, the gym decided to contribute to her memory by hosting this blood drive last year and are doing it again on July 16th. Last year, they had 25 people donate and we want to help get even more people out there this year so this effort can help even more people who need it. Please join us between the hours of 3pm – 8pm on July 16th in the Macy’s wing of San Jacinto Mall.

Location – San Jacinto Mall – 1114 San Jacinto Mall, Baytown, TX

In the spirit of good people helping one another reach greater heights, DNC Worldwide is throwing a networking social and charity benefit on Thursday, July 22nd 2010 at the Mezzanine Lounge – located just inside the loop on the corner of Highway 59 and Sheperd.

The purpose of this event will be to allow professionals, from different industries in Houston, a chance to disconnect and unwind. Drinks… dancing… A chance to spend quality time with old friends / partners / colleagues… and make some quality new ones – all while supporting an excellent cause.

As a fun way to contribute to this great cause, we will be hosting a BACHELOR AUCTION with some really decent guys participating. There will also be a SILENT AUCTION with plenty of great items and services up for grabs from our very awesome sponsors. All proceeds will go directly to BONA Foundation in order to help fight childhood obesity.
