A Quick History - Hyundai
Hyundai is a Korean Car manufacturer
that also owns Kia. Chung Ju-Yang originally founded Hyundai as a
construction company in 1947 and the Motor Company was established 20
years later in 1967.

Their first vehicle was developed with
Ford in 1968 and known as the Cortina.

However, Hyundai wanted to
design their own car and in 1975, they introduced the first Korean
car, The Pony. The Pony actually never made it to the United States
because it couldn't pass emission standards. It was a big hit in
Canada though! It passed sales expectations and actually became a top
selling car in the country.

Finally, in 1986, Hyundai began selling
in the United States and became known for their affordability. Today,
the company continues to grow. It is the fourth largest car
manufacturer in the world, and without Kia, it is the 8th.

The Krewe du Ya Yas
One of the local organizations we support on the Gulf Coast is a lovely group of women known as the Krewe du Ya Yas. They work tirelessly to raise awareness of breast cancer through events, parades, and fundraisers. They also assist economically challenged individuals to get the necessary tests that would detect breast cancer early.

They wear pink of course! That is to honor all women of the world and also everyone who has ever been touched in their lives by this horrible cancer. They also wear tiaras to show that all women can be princesses and queens in their day to day lives. The women live by the motto "Living, Laughing, and Loving".

You can find more information about their nonprofit organization, Krewe Du Ya Yas Keeping Abreast Foundation Inc.
The group also has several events coming up! One is the 11th Annual One Stroke for a Cure on October 17th at the Scenic Hills Country Club. They also have the Downtown Christmas Parade on December 14th.
