Saturday, October 6, 2012: Mission Olé co-chairs Kristi Bare and Nancy Gopez just revealed that invitations will be hitting mailboxes for the annual Trinity River Mission fundraiser. Along with Honorary Chairs Sandra and Henry Estess, they’ve arranged something old and something new this year.
The new item is the event’s presenting sponsors.
“We have received so much support already from the community, including a new presenting sponsor, Texas Capital Bank,” said Nancy.
As for the something old, don’t go thinking it’s something dusty and worn.
Nope!
The girls have arranged to have the event to return to Laurie Sands Harrison‘s marvelous home.
According to Kristi, “We are also so fortunate that the wonderful Laurie Sands Harrison has graciously agreed to open up her beautiful home and outdoor garden for this special evening. It is sure to be a can’t-miss event as we raise funds for the important programs of Trinity River Mission.”
Laurie’s estate is simply fabulous for this “casual chic” evening. Heck, it’s pretty darn perfect for any occasion.
But Kristi and Nancy aren’t relying on Laurie to hit a home run. “We hope everyone will make plans to join us; we promise a casual chic evening, silent and live auctions, casino and lots of great drinks and food – all for a wonderful organizations that helps ensure academic success for disadvantaged youth in West Dallas,” said Nancy.
To do this they’ve also drafted the talents of their buddies to help out. Among the draftees are Wendy Krispin, who “will be back with her sumptuous Latin-inspired dinner buffet complete with a made-to-order Gordita station, pal Julian Leaver of Bella Flora Design will put his professional touch to the event décor and America’s Sassiest Lifestyle Guru Steve Kemble will serve as master of ceremonies.”
BTW, Steve will be emceeing this Friday’s Celebrity Waiter Luncheon. The question of the week is whether he can outdo his performance last year?
