Forum is proud to own one of the Heights' historical buildings
as its present location at 1815 Rutland was the first
drive-through post office building in the area.

Shop part of 65 years of Junior Forum programs

When Stephen Quezada arrived
on the University of Houston's campus seven years ago,
paying for books and other expenses not covered by financial
aid wasn't a problem for him, thanks to the Houston Junior
Forum.
The Houston Junior Forum, which
awards college scholarships to high school seniors who
have attended the Community House Preschool, is celebrating
65 years of service to the children, youths and senior
adults of Houston.
"The scholarship has been
a big help," said Quezada, a University of Houston
Law graduate.
Houston
Junior Forum spotlighted on Great Day Houston,May
5, 2011
Several past presidents of HJF appeared on Great
Day Houston on May 5, 2011 to help celebrate Cinco
de Mayo.
The President's
skirt is an honored tradition dating back to 1949.
Each president is presented with a skirt that is
elaborately decorated by many members. Details are
covered by sequins and beads, requiring hours of
detailed work. The design is usually conceived as
original art, in a theme favored by the president.
The early skirts were made for the president to
wear for our fundraising "fiestas" and continue
today to be worn to our fundraisers and for special
occasions. The skirt tradition embodies the close
friendship and support members have for each other.
