Community Partners of Dallas‘ 2024 Chick Lit Luncheon was far from “Sleepless in Seattle” thanks to keynote speaker/multi-talented and ever-adorable Rita Wilson.
Taking place on Friday, March 22, the full-fledged fundraiser kicked off with a VIP reception in the Anatole’s Wedgwood Room with a crowd that included everyone from gal pals (Tricia George, Cindy Turner, Kristen Gibbins, Andrea Nayfa, Paige McDaniel, Holly Huffines, Sloane Ogle, Margot McKenny and Izzy Ogle), former Real Housewives (LeeAnne Locken and D’Andra Simmons Locke) and even gents (Ryan Ross, Robbie Kruithoff, Dr. Bob Tafel and Bill Ogle). Unlike other similar events when the star-of-the-hour arrived for the meet-and-greet at the last minute, Rita not only appeared a half hour early, but stayed throughout the reception chatting with all individually.
As an added treat, Luncheon Co-Chairs Cathy James and Lisa Ogle had author/physician/philanthropist Dr. Stacie Stephenson on hand with a display of her books on how to literally “glow” and be “vibrant.”
But then the main event got underway in the Trinity Ballroom with Rita having a sit-down chat with NBC 5’s Laura Harris.
