Aug 9, 2021 11:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

The Dallas Morning News reporter Catherine Marfin filed a story in this morning’s edition about the arrival of two newbies at the Dallas Zoo — a couple of cheetah brothers from The Wilds in Columbus, Ohio. However, it was reported in the story that, “Their arrival comes about four months after the zoo’s last cheetah, Kilima, died of old age.” Yipes! Then where was … [Read more...] about Winspear The Cheetah Is Still At Dallas Zoo And Purring Over Zoo To Do’s “Return To The Wild”

Jul 28, 2021 9:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

When a name change occurs, the first thought is uneasy — a change of direction, a new owner, a divorce, etc. But in the case of the Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society, it’s not only good news, it makes perfect sense. Moving forward it will be known as Preservation Park Cities (PPC). As PPC President Tish Key explained, “An underlying aim of our organization has … [Read more...] about JUST IN: Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society Stays True To Its Mission With A New Name

I Served Time And All I Got Was A Gold Circle With An Inset Star

Jul 31, 2019 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Editor's Note: This post does not involve a North Texas nonprofit. It is being published as a "public service." After reading Dave “Watchdog” Lieber’s column about the Texas Driver License situation, I decided to go ahead and renew my driver license. Another incentive was a very official letter from the Texas Department of Public Safety warning that, come October 1, 2020, … [Read more...] about I Served Time And All I Got Was A Gold Circle With An Inset Star

Registrations Open For Free Media Panel For Nonprofits At Brain Performance Institute

Jul 19, 2018 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

It ain’t easy being a non-profit public relations or marketing person nowadays. And there’s a couple of good reasons for that. First, the number of North Texas nonprofits have increased. Second, the number of media outlets have decreased. And those that are still around seem as hard to get a hold of as your internist's cell phone number. And then there’s the problem of … [Read more...] about Registrations Open For Free Media Panel For Nonprofits At Brain Performance Institute

Sep 14, 2017 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

There’s been a tad bit of confusion about the funds netted from the Lee Jarmon Alzheimer’s Pro Am held in May at Gleneagles Country Club. Aware President Venise Stuart recently reported that the tournament had provided $20,000 for the group. But upon checking with the Jarmon’s Elisa Stephens, she said that the actual amount for Aware had been $40,000.  So, where was … [Read more...] about Despite Initial Fiscal Confusion, Lee Jarmon Alzheimer’s Pro Am Benefits Aware And Three Other Area Non-Profits With $220,000

Friends Of Wednesday’s Child Is Closing

Jul 31, 2017 11:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

Sorry to start the week off with some sad news, but The Friends of Wednesday's Child is ceasing operation. Whoa! Before you go thinking that WFAA’s Cynthia Izaguirre won’t be doing her "Wednesday's Child" segments, stop thinking that. These are two separate organizations dedicated to supporting foster children in need of permanent homes. Founded by a couple in 1985, … [Read more...] about Friends Of Wednesday’s Child Is Closing

A Clarification On The Dallas Country Club’s New Event Scheduling Policy

Jul 13, 2017 2:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Whoa! Yesterday's post mentioning the Dallas Country Club adjusting its event-scheduling policy has had some event planners wondering, "What's up?" Well, the good folks at the Dallas Country Club wanted to clarify the situation. The Board of Directors set the new policy last week that the Club can host events under 100 guests Tuesday – Friday for breakfast and lunch or any … [Read more...] about A Clarification On The Dallas Country Club’s New Event Scheduling Policy

Oops Alert: Family Gateway’s “Gateway To Opportunity” Luncheon Is Tuesday, Not Wednesday

Sep 26, 2016 9:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

It’s Monday. It’s wet. It’s cool-ish. It has all the elements for an oopsie taking place. And that’s what happened. Normally, most “oopsies” at other media outlets would just be dismissed as, “So who cares?” But this one has organizers a wee bit concerned, so we’re setting the record straight. It seems that a daily newspaper column on philanthropy reported bright and … [Read more...] about Oops Alert: Family Gateway’s “Gateway To Opportunity” Luncheon Is Tuesday, Not Wednesday
