FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Local App Offers Solution to National “Appageddon” Crisis
Allcal Events is wholly compliant with the App Store’s new regulations.

North Richland Hills, Texas – December 21, 2017 – Allcal Events is proud to offer a solution to the national white label “appageddon” currently affecting thousands of events, conventions, and trade shows. Starting January 1, 2018, the Apple App Store will reject white label or duplicate event apps, leaving many events, conventions, and trade shows in need of an alternative. Allcal Events is an integrated calendar, app, and event management solution for event organizers that is wholly compliant with the Apple App Store’s new rules.

“Thousands of clone apps are about to be stopped with Apple’s new regulations,” states Allcal CEO Daniel Cocanougher. “It has always been our goal to offer the best solution for events and that’s true now more than ever.”

Since 2014 Allcal has offered a social calendar solution for personal use that seamlessly syncs events in real time. The North Richland Hills-based tech company launched Allcal Events in 2016 after being approached by major conventions about custom branded solutions to their event app problem. Allcal Events allows clients to build custom web calendars that reflect the branding of their events to seamlessly embed within their own website as well as an extensive custom calendar within the Allcal app.

National Association of Multicultural Rehabilitation Concerns (NAMRC), which focuses on the field of disability, those of African American, Latino, Asian, Native Americans and/or Alaskan Natives ethnicity, and other cultural diversities (such as veterans and LGBT populations), used Allcal Events for its annual conference in Dallas this year. NAMRC’s Christiaan Kier says, “We decided to use Allcal as our step into streamlining our annual NAMRC conferences. Users appreciated the live updates, accessible information about each presentation and events, maps, and the ability to network with others directly. It also allowed attendees to create their own itineraries!”

Allcal Events features convenient in-app ticketing services and complete event and calendar management system within the dashboard so that clients can manage everything in one place and see valuable engagement data. No coding is required to utilize Allcal Events.

National Poverty Summit Convened Fort Worth

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

National Poverty Summit Convened in Fort Worth to Discuss Tarrant County’s Best Practices for Children Ages 0-3

Organizations are coming together to combat child poverty.

FORT WORTH, Texas – December 7, 2017 – County officials from across the United States came together in Fort Worth today to learn and advance programs and policies to positively impact children ages 0-3 as part of The National Association of Counties (NaCo) National Poverty Summit. The topic of Cross-Sector Efforts to Impact Student Achievement was discussed this morning as the keynote session of the National Poverty Summit. The panel included Tarrant County Commissioner Roy Charles Brooks, City of Fort Worth Mayor’s Office Chief of Staff Ms. Mattie Parker, Superintendent of Fort Worth ISD Dr. Kent Paredes Scribner, and Child Care Associates CEO Kara Waddell.

Research consistently shows that the most rapid period of brain development is in the first years of life when a baby’s brain forms more than a million new neural connections every second. The panel discussed how cognitive, social and emotional growth is critical for later success in school and the workplace and how Tarrant County is coming together to combat child and family poverty. Communities across the country are working to improve children’s school readiness by focusing on child development from ages 0-3. “We in Fort Worth and Tarrant County are connecting our evidence-based programs, meaningful data and isolated funding streams to rebuild a system that fundamentally works for our youngest Texans,” said Waddell.

Young children who enter school kindergarten-ready are more likely to read on grade level by the end of third grade. Research shows that children who are not reading on grade level by the end of third grade are unlikely to graduate high school and will have more behavioral and social problems. The panel dove into the collaborative efforts of Read Fort Worth, the Early Learning Alliance, and Child Care Associates to ensure that 100 percent of third graders are reading at grade level by 2025.

Child Care Associates is helping to lead the way through convening diverse nonprofits with the Early Learning Alliance as well as school readiness efforts with Read Fort Worth. “Child Care Associates appreciates the leadership of County Judge Glen Whitley and County Commissioner Roy Brooks in challenging us all to build innovative solutions for young children,” said Waddell. Brooks is serving as the 2017-18 President of the National Association of Counties (NACo). The NaCo Poverty Summit runs December 7-9, 2017.

About Child Care Associates

Child Care Associates is the largest child development nonprofit in North Texas and has served over half a million young children in the past forty-nine years. Through Head Start and Early Head Start programs, Child Care Associates delivers early education that ensures at-risk children are ready to succeed in school. As a “whole-child, whole-family” program, Child Care Associates offers support in areas such as mental health, emotional development, and nutrition for low-income children ages 0-5. Child Care Associates operates twenty-three child development centers in the greater Fort Worth and Arlington areas to serve approximately 2,300 children per year.

What is Dressage?

Dressage is an English style of riding with a rich history of ancient European warhorses. Today, dressage competitions test how well a horse is trained. According to the International Equestrian Federation, dressage is the “highest expression of horse training” and aims to develop a horse’s natural athletic ability. While dressage benefits all breeds of horse, the most popular breeds seen at the Olympics and other high-level competitions are warmblood horses bred specifically for dressage.

About Black Star Sport Horses

Owned by Jackie and Lisa Blackmon, Black Star Sport Horses is a premier dressage training, show, and sales facility located on 255 acres just twenty minutes east of Dallas. Jackie grew up training young horses in Fort Worth and has since won over 40 USDF Championships. Lisa has spent her life training and competing on international sport horses, even training seven Grand Prix horses. Together Jackie and Lisa run a program dedicated to helping each horse reach its full potential. For more information, visit www.blackstarsporthorses.com.
