It’s time to assume the groveling position, if you haven’t gotten your tickets for the 18th Annual Mother’s Day luncheon. Last night Genesis Women’s Shelter head-lady Jan Langbein alerted luncheon patrons gathered at Stacye and Mike McIntyre‘s home that the May 5 luncheon at the Hilton Anatole was officially sold out. Co-chair Ashlee Kleinert smiled when Jan added that for a big enough check some seats just might be found.
Ashlee and her family have been long time supporters of Genesis and this year will be no different with three generations helping Ashlee in co-chair duties (Ashlee’s mother Nancy Ann Hunt, sister Heather Hunt and daughter Connie Kleinert).
As if that wasn’t enough, the team was delighted that this year’s event has more corporate sponsors than ever.
What’s the big draw? Well, besides the event benefiting the Genesis Women’s Shelter, this year’s featured speaker is former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw. When last seen in these parts, Tom interviewed Bob Schieffer for the MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Living Legend luncheon. Tom was terrific just sharing the stage with Bob, so you can only guess how great he’ll be doing a solo act. Be prepared to sit back and enjoy the lunch and Tom. . . that is, if you have your tickets.
