  Kay Victory, Kathryn Wheat and Cindy Dennen of MyKaty.com      "My Goal is YOUR SMILE" ~ Patti Lacy      J. Russell Calvert      Publisher, Beth Nightingale     LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch     (281)395-HERO(4376):OFFICE (281)392-3829:FAX   Heroes owners, Amy & Brook Barrineau      FalaCreative           SeekingSitters In the Sponsor Spotlight: MyKaty.com We are a women based web site created by women for women, an intentional community giving voices to our network of members who exchange ideas and information. As women, we love to get together and talk about where we have been, what new products we have tried, books we have read, places traveled, etc. It seems like there are always fun things we want to pass on to our friends. From this evolved the idea that we should organize and connect with other women. But how do we find out about all of the “good” places right here, in Katy and the surrounding communities? We talk! We are always asking each other “where did you find that?” or “have you heard about…?” As women, it’s what we do. So, it just made sense to create a way of sharing all of this with you. And hearing about all of the great things you find as well.
As a group we have many social events for our in-list members that are always a blast! All you have to do to get invited is sign up. Mykaty.com also loves getting involved in charitable events. It is our goal to support the community wide efforts that raise money and awareness for worthy causes.
If you are interested in featuring your business on our site just shoot us an email at kathryn@mykaty.com . We would love to talk to you. Join us in this unique networking experience and be part of the adventure!

Through their new initiative, when you get any type of home loan for any amount from Hope Tree, they will make a donation in your name to KVPAC.
Beginning immediately, once borrowers have completed the formal closing process of any type of mortgage loan product, Hope Tree Home Loans will donate an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent of the principal sum of the loan to KVPAC. For example: A $200,000 mortgage would result in a contribution of $500! The median home mortgage loan in the Houston metro area currently is approximately $165,000.
When the mortgage loan is completed, KPVAC will receive a donation from Hope Tree in the name of the borrower. The borrower also will receive a commemorative acknowledgement from the company. “At Hope Tree, we employ non-commissioned licensed loan officers that enable savings to be passed along to the consumer making the lowest cost mortgage possible. Our unique business model provides us the ability to be completely competitive with every type of mortgage product, and it enables us to serve our customers with the fairest pricing anywhere,” said Michael L. Johnson, Hope Tree CEO and Managing Director.
The Hope Tree program is the first of its kind in the mortgage industry that combines corporate charitable giving with consumer choice. “We have created Hope Tree to give back to our community so significantly impacted by the economy,” said J. Russell Calvert, Hope Tree’s President and Managing Director.
Hope Tree Home Loans is a wholly owned subsidiary of Calvert Capital Corporation, one of Houston’s oldest and most respected mortgage lenders with more than one billion dollars in originations since the company was founded in 1997 by J. Russell Calvert. It employs more than 20 seasoned loan officers along with a full complement of processors, underwriters and other support personnel.
Hope Tree Home Loans is committed to partnering with Houston area based charitable organizations and non-profit groups in an effort to provide opportunities for those organizations to benefit from the company’s program.
