UPDATE (7:22 a.m. on November 12, 2015): Just received the following email from ReuNight Co-Chair Robert Weatherly:
“Nice article on the event this evening, but for the record, Nancy and I both used our connections to secure the trips for the auction. I put together the Paris trip.
“Tonight will be fabulous!!!
“Thanks,
“Robert”
So very glad to learn of Robert’s involvement. Hope this helps straighten things out in the below post.
The folks getting manicures and having their shoes shined for Thursday night’s ReuNight fundraising dinner at Oak for The Family Place better be ready for quite a night.
Co-Chair Nancy Rogers is having her Gro Floral & Event Design team “re-do” the restaurant. Word has it that owner John Tesar may not even recognize the place.
And to add frosting on this cake of a money raiser, Lady Rogers (UPDATE: and her Co-Chair Robert Weatherly has have) put together a trio of live auction items and they all include travel to some of (UPDATE: her their) favorite spots.
Wanna a clue? How about….
- Parisian Bon Voyage — When you think of Paris, what comes to mind? Audrey Hepburn in “Charade” floating down the Seine? Diane Keaton celebrating her birthday at Le Grand Colbert with Keanu Reeves and Jack Nicholson? Tom Hanks trying to find the “Holy Grail”? Why not create your own special memories with a two-night stay at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel. And because it’s a (UPDATE:
Nancy RogersRobert Weatherly)-curated visit, it will include “a very private tour of the Hermes Family Museum.” And speaking of Hermes, you’ll have a Highland Park Village gift card for $1,500 to get all gussied up for your trip. (Value: $6,500) - Aspen Weekend — OK, so most locals consider Aspen to be a suburb of Dallas. Don’t you know more have been to Aspen than to Cleburne? But despite the familiarity of the mountain resort, Nancy has put together a package that few have experienced including a three-night stay at the newly remodeled Jerome Hotel and spa treatments for two at the now-Auberge Resort. It just ain’t the same old hotel that it used to be! To update your winter look, Stanley Korshak’s Crawford Brock has arranged for a “Bogner fur-trimmed vest and Saint Bernard is providing a pair of custom-fitted ski boots. If you see “working girl” Melanie Griffith, see if she’ll give you a private tour of her cozy cottage. It’s on the market for a mere $8.9M. (Value: $5,400)
- Los Cabos Getaway — So, the last thing you heard was that the Mexico resort area got slammed by a hurricane. Oh, that’s so old news…so very, very old news. In recovering from the storm damage, the luxury factor only increased tenfold. Cabo is one of Nancy’s very favorite spots to chill and you just know she could have her pick. For the winner of this package, they’ll have four nights at the talk-to-me-about-luxurious One & Only Palmilla resort. But they won’t just stay in their suite…well, unless they want to. Nancy’s arranged for a four-hour yachting experience, four rounds of golf and din-din for two at the Nick-San restaurant. Don’t forget your sunglasses, so you’ll fit in with all the celebs at Palmilla’s new outdoor lounging areas. (Value: $10,000)
