The days of 2011 are getting less and less and already 2012 is starting to look as crowded as the early-morning lineup at Starbucks in Highland Park Shopping Village. First face-off by event planners is Saturday, March 31, when both Curtain Call benefiting the Dallas Summer Musicals with spectacularly beautiful and talented Vanessa Williams at the Music Hall and the Dream Gala for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation with Bret Michaels at the Omni Hotel will take place. Unlike this past year when Bret was the guest of honor for his efforts promoting juvenile diabetes, he’ll be performing on stage this go-around.
It’s going to be a battle to decide which one to attend: Vanessa putting on one heck of a show, and Bret doing the same across town. Last year when Bret attended the event as an honored guest, he was surrounded by kids and grown-up ladies lining up for photos with the rock star.
In the “Sure You Knew Department:” In addition to Bret’s being Type 1 diabetic since childhood, his daughter Raine is diabetic. Ironically, Vanessa is Type 1 diabetic, too, and lost her grandmother as a results of diabetes. It’s a nasty disease that needs to be put to rest.
So, no excuse for staying home and cleaning up your Outlook on March 31 . . . not with these two events taking place.

That’s not all happening on March 31st. It is the 8th Annual Savor Dallas International Grand Tasting showcasing over 60 top area restaurants and more than 300 premium wines and spirits…this year being held in the beautiful new Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas.
