Paula Miltenberger’s folks Dianne and Jim Bosler were talked into moving from their Fort Worth acreage to cozier territory in Preston Hollow. Well, that’s if you can call an estate “cozy.” The draw was Paula and husband Bay Miltenberger’s adorable, red-haired boys. What grandparent wouldn’t want to be within walking distance of their grandkids, especially during the pre-high school years?
But on Tuesday, September 20, the grandkids stayed at the Miltenberger home and the grandparents opened their house for the Family Gateway’s Gateway to Opportunity Luncheon patrons. One reason for the hosting was Paula was co-chairing the fundraiser with Tracy Lange.
Alas, because of the sweaty, three-digit temperatures, the Boslers’ palatial grounds were just for a looky-look from behind the windows and glass doors. But no tears were shed, since the mansion’s interior was just made for entertaining.
As one couple held a “charged-up conversation” in the dining room, Tracy and Paula were in the family room surrounded by Gina Betts, Cindy Stager, Luncheon Underwriting Co-Chair Lisa Cooley, Family Gateway Executive Director Ellen Magnis and Ben Lange. Of course, the co-chairs’ conversation turned to the Tuesday, September 27th luncheon featuring Jenna Bush Hager at the Omni Dallas Hotel.
When someone asked if Jenna would talk about the upcoming presidential election, that idea was nipped in the bud. A passerby sniffled, “Oh, please, this is fundraising, not fuss making!”
