A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

For the past 10 years Lubenow has supported "Fiesta De Los Ninos" a community relations effort of Flint Hills Resources, formerly Koch Petroleum Company in Corpus Christi for the capital campaign of Driscoll Children's Hospital.

In addition, he plans and implements media relations programs for the Southeastern Emerald Consortium for the national tour and exhibit of the Empress Caroline, the world's largest uncut emerald and for Eggstravaganza for the tour and marketing of miniature Faberge-style jeweled eggs created by noted Russian jewelry designer, Ilya Abelsky.
