Ambassador Profile..Mona ChavarriaA & A Cleaning ServicesAmbassador, Mona Chavarria is like an Olympic athlete – a record breaker with a focused vision for her business and community. A former director in adult education, this mother of two, started A&A Cleaning Services in 2000. (By the way, A& A stands for Andrew and Alex- her two active boys). Her company provides residential and commercial janitorial services plus janitorial supplies in addition to professional lawn care. It has been her leadership and desire to give back to her community that has garnered very prestigious awards: » Recipient of the 2010 Blue Ribbon Small Business Award from the U.S.

Chamber of Commerce. She was recognized for her company’s critical role in creating jobs and in aiding the local economy.

» Voted Best Cleaning Company by the Pearland Journal. Every year, the newspaper holds a competition in which readers vote for their favorite area business. A& A has won four consecutive years, starting in 2010.

» Earned the Adult Education Volunteer of the Year Award from the Texas Association for Literacy and Adult Education for her tireless work in bringing attention to adult literacy.

» Recognized as the 2004 Business of the Year by the Pearland Chamber of Commerce.

» Honored as the 2010 Ambassador of the Year by the Pearland Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, she has been ambassador of the quarter five times, as well as serving as the chair for the ambassadors.

» Chair for the Board of Directors for the Pearland Chamber of Commerce. » Continues to serve on the Board of Directors for the Adult Reading Center – a

center that provides instruction to adults with low literacy skills. » Board member for Pearland I.S.D. Education Foundation. » Board member for the Silverlake Lions Club.

Similar to a disciplined Olympian, Chavarria’s formula for success is simple: “Work hard and never take NO for an answer,” said Chavarria. When she received the Blue Ribbon Small Business Award, Chavarria commented, “I was so honored to receive this award. To be chosen from so many businesses from across the nation is humbling. I want to thank my family, friends, employees and customers because without their continued support over the years, this achievement wouldn’t be possible.” Her community involvement is also part of her championship training. “I live and work in Pearland and I believe that it is important, as a local business owner, to have an active presence in the area. That’s why I give so much of my time and money to various local organizations,” said Chavarria who continues to show the heart of a champion.

Why You Should Support Proposition 1 in the November Election

This November, Texans will have a chance to vote on an important constitutional amendment dealing with transportation funding in our state. If passed, Proposition 1 will divert money from the oil and gas tax that currently goes to the Economic Stabilization Fund (also known as the Rainy Day Fund) and send it to the State Highway Fund (SHF) to be used solely for constructing, maintaining, and acquiring rights-of-way for non-tolled roads. This is a measure Texas desperately needs to see enacted.It is no secret that Texas is a great place to raise a family or start a new business. We are the land of opportunity within the land of opportunity. Over the past four decades, our state has seen a 125% increase in population, a 172% increase in vehicles, and an alarming 238% increase in highway use. Despite this growth, the most recent gas tax (the primary source of funding for highways) increase was in 1991. As more and more people are calling the lone Star State “home,” we must find a way to accommodate our roads for this growth and economic climate. Texas has the largest state-maintained highway system in the nation, spanning more than 80,000 miles; yet we rank 38th out of 50 in per-capita spending on highways. Without adjustments, our current infrastructure funding will run dry by the end of 2015. Texans deserve better than that.Currently, oil and gas tax revenues are divided as follows: for every dollar received, 25 cents goes to the state’s general revenue for public education, and 75 cents goes to the Rainy Day Fund. Prop 1, if passed, would ensure that 75 cents on every dollar of oil and gas tax revenue would be split equally between the State Highway Fund and the Rainy Day Fund. As you may have already heard, this would authorize a projected additional $1.4 billion a year to the SHF, without raising any taxes or fees.it is worth mentioning that Prop 1 will also require the Texas Department of Transportation to find $100 million in savings and efficiencies to reduce long-term debt, resulting in $47 million in additional savings in interest alone. Proposition 1 will appear on the November 4th general election ballot and will have immediate effect if approved by you, the voters. This is not a comprehensive solution to the transportation problems in our state, but we in the Legislature stayed within our means while ensuring that, going forward, there will be a sufficient balance in the Rainy Day Fund. While the transportation-funding discussion will no doubt continue as Texas continues to face new growth challenges, Proposition 1 is a responsible measure that will move us away from debt and toward progress.

Featuring Artist

DANIELA ARRECIS

Through July 31

Decorative costumes, graceful portraits, and bold stencils make up the creative and vibrant expressions of Daniela Arrecis’ paintings. She has taken the flexibility of stencils and compelling images of real life and combined them to create a unique style. The unpredictable nature of this work allows her imagination freedom and provides many opportunities for a blissful accident creating a truly unique final product.“Painting is the key to my secret garden, my looking glass, my way down the rabbit hole; it brings me peace and tranquility in a chaotic world.”Dani is currently studying Mechanical Engineering at University of Houston, in hopes to start working in the oil and gas industry. She also resides in Houston, Texas.Daniela says art has always been there for her. It helps her disappear from all the problems in her life, and it allows her to bring smiles to faces.“Every once in a while I go through the all the paintings I have created and see how far I have come, and I ask myself why I do this.” “i do it to be remembered in the hearts of those i love and those who love art. it is my legacy” “if nothing else, believe in art.” --Dani Arrecis
