2. Last Friday (Mar. 4), U.S. companies celebrated employee appreciation day to honor workers for their commitment and dedication. In a study conducted by WalletHub that compared 116 of the nation's hardest-working cities, Texas had seven of the top 20 cities, led by Irving, which ranked 5th. Other Texas cities in the top tier were Austin, Plano, and Dallas at 8th, 9th, and 10th, respectively, followed by Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, and Arlington. Irving also had the lowest share of households where no adults work at about 11%. (NWA Online)
3. The Irving Art Association will meet on Mar. 22 and feature the artist Pouran Lashini who will make a presentation on Persian art techniques. Lashini will give a demonstration using one of the traditional Persian art themes: the miniature art of the Persian garden.
