House of Shine.jpg Volunteers helped preserve the Parr Rock Art Trail, a tribute to individuals affected by COVID-19, by cleaning and resealing community-painted rocks to ensure their stories continue to shine.

In celebration of National Volunteer Month, Park Place Dealerships Members rolled up their sleeves and made a huge difference across North Texas. As part of the company’s Annual Week of Service, employees stepped away from their regular roles to support 14 local nonprofits through hands-on volunteer projects, creating meaningful impact in the communities they serve.

“Giving back is an integral part of our mission at Park Place Dealerships,” said Kara Connor, Experiential Marketing Manager at Park Place Dealerships. “Our Week of Service is a special time for our team to step into the community and make a real difference. It’s our way of saying thank you to the communities that have supported us for so many years.”

The nonprofits supported and projects completed by Park Place members included:

Association for Independent Living (Dallas): Volunteers painted apartments for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities transitioning into independent living, helping create a clean, cohesive, and dignified space.

Best Buddies: At Park Place’s Porsche Dealership, volunteers helped wrap t-shirts, make walk route posters, and stuffed swag bags to prepare for Best Buddies’ Friendship Walk, which benefits people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Big Hearts Day Habilitation Center (Mansfield): Volunteers enhanced the nonprofit’s outdoor space by laying turf, staining fences, and donating items like picnic benches and mobile planters to improve the environment for adults with disabilities.

BridgeBuilders (Dallas):  In South Dallas, a local basketball court and adjacent parking lot were transformed with new paint and stenciling, creating a vibrant, welcoming community space.

Center for Vision Health (Dallas): Volunteers completed a brand-new sensory garden designed for patients of all ages, including those with visual impairments or sensory sensitivities, providing a peaceful and therapeutic outdoor experience.

Children First (Grand Prairie): Team members beautified the organization’s grounds by cleaning up landscaping, adding mulch, and refreshing outdoor furniture to create a safe and welcoming space for children recovering from trauma.

Community Garden Kitchen (McKinney): Volunteers helped with landscape clean-up, including adding new mulch to the front area and back patio counseling space, cleaning outdoor furniture, and potting plants to enhance the outdoor counseling area.

Community Healthcare of Texas (Grapevine): Park Place members assembled care packages with essential items to support families during hospice or palliative care, helping ease practical burdens and allowing them to focus on their loved ones.

Evergreen Life Services (Fort Worth): Volunteers helped organize and clean the nonprofit’s art studio, a creative space for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to express themselves through art.

Frisco Humane Society: Volunteers organized supplies and event areas, streamlining operations to better serve animals in the metroplex that need shelter and medical care.

House of Shine (Grapevine): Volunteers helped preserve the Parr Rock Art Trail, a tribute to individuals affected by COVID-19, by cleaning and resealing community-painted rocks to ensure their stories continue to shine.

Little Hearts: At Park Place’s Lexus Plano Dealership, volunteers assembled 200 “hope packages” for families affected by childhood cancer. Each package included comforting items for parents and siblings during a difficult time.

Our Daily Bread (Denton): Volunteers built a brick walkway in the nonprofit’s garden, enhancing the space while supporting their mission to serve individuals experiencing homelessness.

V’s Heart (Murphy): Park Place members assisted with sorting and managing donations of clothing and food, helping this community-focused nonprofit streamline its distribution efforts.

Park Place Dealerships was founded in 1987 and has been engaged in the community through its support of the arts, medical research, children’s advocacy, and education. Park Place employs more than 1,400 members and operates nine full-service dealerships representing luxury brands including Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, Land Rover, Acura, and Sprinter Vans.

Unstoppable

Kate Preacher Thriller, #2*

by

Michael Maloof

 

This thrilling and intricate follow-up to the series debut will keep readers glued to their seats and begging for more!

 

Unstoppable is the second book in author Michael Maloof's exceptional Kate Preacher Thriller series, building on the intrigue and, perhaps, even surpassing the intensity of the series debut. Kate Preacher, although still reeling from her husband's murder during an armed attack on a Parisian café, is determined to get to the truth, expose those responsible, and extract her own vengeance. Kate's husband warned his killer that she would be unstoppable, but so are the thrills readers will experience from this story. 

Only days have elapsed since Jake Church was gunned down by a long-range sniper's bullet, but that is enough time for his widow, former CIA analyst Kate Preacher, to gather her resources and head back to Paris to prove her theory that the brutal café attack which took Jake's life and made him a national hero was no terroristic act but a calculated assassination when he got too close to the perpetrators involved in a high-level and powerful international crime coalition. Even after having read the previous novel, I was still thrilled by her tactical skills, knowledge, and the digital forensics used in the story. Key characters from book one return to lend their considerable expertise while surprising new allies and hidden antagonists enter the picture. The loyalty and determination of Jake's former team members are on full display and, at times, evoke gut-wrenching admiration. 

The plot is fast-paced as the story hits the ground running, and the action and intrigue are unrelenting and non-stop. Dangerous secrets, hints of unknown agendas, and shocking plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat as Kate got ever closer to her goal, and those working against her tried to stop her or, at a minimum, manage her discoveries and limit the consequences. When loyalty, friendship, and her concern for another character's safety take Kate from Paris to an emerging African country, the stakes rise when evil intentions become clear and broaden to affect even more innocents, and storylines cleverly converge. 

While this is the second Kate Preacher novel, the author subtly weaves in enough backstory for readers new to the series to read this book as a standalone. I recommend UNSTOPPABLE and the Kate Preacher series to thriller fans.

Relentless

Kate Preacher Thriller, #1

by

Michael Maloof

 

A fantastic debut for this thrilling new series featuring former CIA analyst Kate Preacher!

 

Relentless is the first book in author Michael Maloof’s thrilling new series featuring former CIA analyst Kate Preacher, and what a debut it is! With its honorable and sympathetic protagonist and breathtaking plot, this book needs to be on the top of every thriller lover’s wish list! 

The main character is Kate Preacher, a former CIA analyst who left the business when a mission went horribly wrong. As a result of the mission, though, she met her husband and the love of her life, Jake Church, a retired SEAL and now owner of an elite executive protection firm. Kate now uses her vast technological skills to support litigation at a downtown Richmond, Virginia, law firm. At times, those skills satisfyingly end up helping the little guy but, for the most part, assist in protecting the assets or reputation of the firm’s wealthy, high-profile clients who have something to hide. Lately, she’s been second-guessing her career choice and what her future holds, but a deadly terrorist attack in Paris ultimately takes the decision out of her hands. Kate is a dynamic character, going from crippling grief to fully harnessing every skill and tactic in her repertoire to follow up on what Jake was secretly investigating and tracking down those responsible for the Parisian café bloodbath. She’s smart and determined and swallows her pride in calling on all her old connections for favors, even those she swore she’d never deal with again. I quite literally ached for what Kate had experienced in her past and for all she was going through in the present. 

The story opens tragically and violently, establishing an atmosphere of dark, brooding menace always lurking in the background. The resulting sorrow is interrupted by adrenaline-fueled action sequences that had me gasping, and scenes of military honors, traditions, and ceremonies had me trying to hold back tears. The plot thickens with unexpected twists and turns and high-tech shenanigans. Still, with both Kate’s and Jake’s backgrounds, an amazing array of creative and envy-inducing technological and tactical hardware is available to Kate for her to fight back. The story was mesmerizing, and I didn’t want to put the book down. My only regret is that there isn’t a prequel detailing the Syrian mission. 

I recommend RELENTLESS to readers who enjoy thrillers with international connections, technological creativity, and capable, strong female protagonists.

The Organ Broker

by

Deven Greene

 

Provocative and haunting!

 

The Organ Broker is a provocative and haunting dark thriller by author Deven Greene and explores the moral issues involved with harvesting the organs of death row prisoners after execution. Crystal and Derek Rigler formed and led the grassroots organization known as STOP (Stop Transplants of Organs from Prisoners), a group opposing the practice on ethical grounds. While the handsome and charming Derek is the face of the growing movement, his wife Crystal is the hidden soul of the group, planning and organizing their activities and crafting the inspirational speeches Derek gives voice to. Many members of the young Texas-based group oppose the death penalty as well but support the legitimate process by which organ donations are matched with the neediest recipients. However, a journalist who supports their work has uncovered an ugly truth about the prisoner organ donation process; they do not follow this equitable system but rather are siphoned off to the sick friends and family of the wealthy or political cronies. To Crystal and Derek, the morality of the situation is black and white, or at least it was until their daughter falls ill and is in desperate need of a liver transplant, with her time running out. 

Crystal Rigler is a very relatable character: a wife in a bad marriage and a mother caught in a no-win situation. Derek is a narcissistic man-child out to fulfill his own selfish desires, working the system and conning his wife with his lies about everything he’s doing. Crystal knows he’s cheating on her; he’s practically flaunting his infidelities with their young female volunteers in her face, yet she still tells herself she loves him when she contemplates divorce. She knows she’s being played and continues to put off deciding to change her life for the better. 

The plot slowly reveals the state of the Rigler marriage and the magnitude of Derek’s betrayals, and just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, it does. Watching their relationship was like watching the proverbial trainwreck; I couldn’t look away, nor could I put this riveting book down. The stakes get astronomically higher with the discovery of Cordelia’s impending liver failure and the choices they will have to make to save her life. 

With its engaging, sympathetic female main character, despicable, morally bankrupt villain, and desperate choices, I recommend THE ORGAN BROKER to thriller readers who enjoy stories with a medical theme or moral dilemmas.

At least one in seven children in the United States have experienced some form of abuse or neglect in the past year, and an estimated 1,840 children have died from child abuse or neglect. To recognize April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, EMPOWER, a nonprofit child welfare collaborative, is highlighting several ways to detect, prevent, and spread awareness about child abuse.

Four ways to help prevent child abuse are: 

  • Support prevention programs in your community. 

    • Intervention often occurs after abuse is reported. Greater investments are needed in programs that are proven to stop abuse before it has occurred, like counseling and home visits. 

  • Learn to identify signs of abuse.

    • Unexplained injuries are not the only signs of abuse. Other signs include depression, anxiety, fear of specific adults, difficulty trusting others or making friends, sudden changes in eating or sleeping patterns, inappropriate sexual behavior, poor hygiene, secrecy, and hostility. 

  • Invest in kids. 

    • Encourage leaders in your community to be supportive of children and families. This includes asking employers to provide family-friendly work environments and asking lawmakers to support legislations to better protect children. 

  • Wear blue for awareness.

    • Spread awareness for child abuse prevention by wearing blue. This is a simple act that anyone can do to help promote prevention and education.

“As a community, we must confront the harsh reality of child abuse,” says Senior Vice President of EMPOWER Randy Neff. “Our organization is committed to raising awareness and encouraging preventative measures to protect our children. We also hope that programs like the Preparation for Adult Living (PAL) program help older youth in the foster care system distinguish between healthy and toxic relationships and empower them to succeed in adulthood.”

To find local volunteer opportunities in Dallas, please visit https://www.dallascasa.org/about-dallas-casa/. For volunteer opportunities outside of Dallas, please visit https://texascasa.org/how-to-help/. To report suspected child abuse or neglect, please call 1-800-252-5400.

Get ready to shrink down, turn blue and journey into the land of the Smurfs to help save the world from the evil wizard, Gargamel! With sold out crowds and over 2 million happy visitors across Europe, The Smurf Experience is officially making its U.S. debut in DFW, Texas for a limited time. 

Opening May 7, 2025, at Arlington’s Esports Stadium located at 1200 Ballpark Way, Arlington, TX 76011, this 13,000-square-foot, fully immersive attraction will transport families into the heart of Smurf Village. 

The 75-minute experience will feature nine mission-based zones filled with interactive scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, virtual reality adventures, meet-and-greets with beloved Smurf characters and more. It’s hands-on, high-energy and full of Smurftastic fun for kids and parents alike. The Smurf Experience is not to be missed and is only in Texas until the end of the Summer.

Tickets are now available at www.SmurfExperienceUSA.com, with options for the whole family. 

“The Smurfs may be small, but their journey has been anything but. From their origins in Europe in the 1950’s to their increasing global popularity, we are excited to bring the world of the Smurfs to life for families in DFW! Based on the success of the attraction in Europe, we believe US audiences will thoroughly enjoy the launch of The Smurf Experience,” said SBX Group’s CEO, Danny Fritz. 

“When my father first drew these little blue characters decades ago, I don’t think he ever imagined that they’d one day jump off the pages and be able to physically interact with families around the world. It is wonderful to see The Smurf Experience bring the Smurfs, their story and their values to life in such a meaningful way,” said Véronique Culliford, Founder & President of Peyo Company and daughter of Peyo.

Located inside Arlington’s Esports Stadium at the Arlington Museum of Art and just steps away from AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and Six Flags Over Texas—The Smurf Experience is perfectly placed in the heart of Arlington’s entertainment district.

Timed perfectly with the release of Paramount Pictures’ new Smurfs movie (hitting theaters July 2025), this summer-long adventure builds on the excitement of the big screen. The film stars Rihanna as both a producer and the voice of Smurfette. She’s also behind the soundtrack’s hottest musical hits. The Smurf Experience lets fans step into the world of the Smurfs ahead of the film’s release—creating unforgettable moments for families to share together.

The Smurf Experience was designed by Belgium-based agency Cecoforma in collaboration with Smurf parent entity Peyo Company. SBX Group, a leader in entertainment attractions, is working with Cecoforma and Peyo Company to adapt the experience for North American audiences. SBX is also partnering with Leap Event Technology as the Official Ticketing Provider for The Smurf Experience in North America. Leap provides a suite of technology, marketing, and data solutions for some of the world’s biggest sports and entertainment brands.

SERVPRO Team Shaw, one of the largest franchises in the country, continues to make waves in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market under the leadership of CEO Derek Shaw, cementing its position as a powerhouse in the restoration and service industry.

Having already completed three acquisitions over the past three years, the company has now added two significant deals to its portfolio in early 2025—bringing its total to 30 locations across four markets in the Southwest.

This rapid expansion has propelled SERVPRO Team Shaw from a modest team of 14 employees and $2 million in revenue to a robust workforce of over 200 employees and revenues exceeding $50 million.

Expanding Reach in Dallas-Fort Worth

The first of the latest acquisitions includes three new SERVPRO locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area. This move strengthens the company’s foothold in a key market, enhancing its ability to serve clients with:

  • Emergency Mitigation
  • Moving Services
  • Turnkey Construction

Derek Shaw commented: “The three new locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have allowed us to expand our local reach in the DFW market and continue to provide exceptional services to our clients.”

In 2025, SERVPRO Team Shaw will continue to invest in:

  • Technology
  • Specialized Commercial Offerings
  • Enhanced Client Communication

A Game-Changing Addition: Finish Line Plumbing, Electrical & HVAC

The second major acquisition of 2025 is Finish Line Plumbing, a commercial plumbing company that now also brings HVAC and electrical services into the fold. Based in Dallas, Finish Line will soon extend its services to Houston and Tyler.

Derek Shaw shared: “Our goal is to consolidate the number of vendors our clients need. This acquisition enhances our CapEx offering and lets us deliver full turnkey services—from a burst pipe to full construction projects.”

This strategic move creates massive value for commercial clients and capital projects across the Southwest.

Enhancing Operational Excellence

Gabby Shaw, Chief Administrative Officer, emphasized the behind-the-scenes improvements: “These purchases allow us to significantly improve our internal operations—from administrative support to project management—so our teams can deliver exceptional results for clients.”

It’s about creating a seamless, high-quality experience for both our teams and the businesses we serve.

A Legacy of Growth

From its humble beginnings in Grapevine, Texas, SERVPRO Team Shaw has grown into a regional leader through smart, strategic M&A moves. With 30 locations and new capabilities in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services, the company is more ready than ever to serve its clients in full.

Derek Shaw’s focus for the future:

  • Expanding service capabilities
  • Delivering unmatched value
