Gables Post Oak is ready for Gables Day!
We posted yesterday that our office will be closed tomorrow, May 8th, for a company wide event. That event is known as Gables Day and is one of our favorite times of the year as Gables Associates. Gables Day is a day we get the chance to volunteer and give back to the community. This year, we will be volunteering at “The Mission of Yahweh” which is an organization that aids and shelters homeless women & children. http://www.missionofyahweh.org/
We will be assigned to various teams who will be improving the Mission’s Thrift Store, Dining Hall and Chapel, Children’s Center, Playground and landscaped areas. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough!

Favorite Brazilian Steakhouse?…..GO!
Over the summer, I got the chance to eat at Texas De Brazil. I instantly fell in love with the flavor of the steaks, lamb, chicken, etc; now I believe I am addicted. I recently tried Fogo De Chao and have to say everything was just as great. I have noticed there are more Brazilian Steak places like Villas Grill, Rafain, Boi Na Braza, just to name a few. Have you tried any of these places? If so, what is your favorite Brazilian Steakhouse, Gables Post Oak?
