After Charming Texas Trailblazer Awards Patrons, Keynote Speaker Ronan Farrow Did Neighborhood Services With Paige Flink

Oct 25, 2016 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Mondays are supposed to be quiet. It’s a day of the fundraising week when peeps and organizations can rest up and catch their collective breaths. But with the final quarter of 2016 in place, no day is safe. Want proof? How about Monday, October 3?

Second Thought kicked off its State of Mind fundraising at Caroline and Jim Manning’s home. Underwriting Chair Nick Even reported that the nonprofit hopes to raise funds on the Friday, November 4th event at Sammons Center with Karol Omlor as the event chair. It should be quite a night with Rob McCollum as emcee and favorite songbird Liz Mikel providing the evening’s entertainment.

While in Preston Hollow, Jennifer and Peter Altabef opened their Preston Hollow home (aka former Toni and Norman Brinker’s home) for The Family Place’s 2016 Texas Trailblazer Awards Luncheon patron party.

Co-Chairs Lisa and Marvin Singleton were all smiles, admitting that the move from the Anatole’s Grand Ballroom to the Chantilly was the right one for the fundraiser. According to Lisa, if they had stayed in the Grand Ballroom, the guests would have been on top of each other.

Early arrivals among the 90 or so guests included Honorary Co-Chairs Julie and Jim Turner, Lynn McBee, Brent Christopher, Barbara and Stan Levenson, Barbara Daseke, Jeff Bryon, Kevin Hurst, Claire and Dwight Emanuelson, Carol Seay, Travis Kelly, Jess Koloini,nd Clayton Kennington and one guest who got into “the spirits” of the occasion … or was it vice versa?

Arriving just in time for the evening’s remarks was luncheon keynote speaker Ronan Farrow, who proved to be as good as The Family Place staff and the Singletons had described.

Following the evening of chitchatting and cocktailing, The Family Place CEO Paige Flink took Ronan to dinner to discuss plans for the next day. Did she take him to Al’s, The Mansion, Stephan Pyles’ Flora Street Cafe? Nope. They wanted something low-key, where they could talk. The place was Neighborhood Services.
