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.

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.
