We Regret: Fundraiser’s Anatole Guests Paid Dearly With Time And $$ For “Complimentary Self-Parking”
There's a reason why dessert is served at the end of a meal. Or, why a mint is placed on the pillow before going to sleep. It's to finish off the moment on a sweet note. Alas, such was not the case at a non-profit's otherwise stellar fundraising luncheon at the Hilton Anatole today. As the event finished up just a minute or two past one, guests headed to their cars. Some … [Read more...] about We Regret: Fundraiser’s Anatole Guests Paid Dearly With Time And $$ For “Complimentary Self-Parking”
JUST IN: 2024 Crystal Charity Ball Date Returns To First Saturday In December At The Anatole
A heavy sigh of relief has been heard at the corner of Blackburn and Oak Lawn emanating from the 2024 Crystal Charity Ball committee offices. Due to last year's oops of scheduling with the Hilton Anatole, the decades long tradition of holding the black-tie fundraiser on the first Saturday in December could not be locked down. That meant that the 2023 and 2024 galas would … [Read more...] about JUST IN: 2024 Crystal Charity Ball Date Returns To First Saturday In December At The Anatole

Tim Gunn’s talk for Community Partners of Dallas’ Chick Lit Luncheon on Friday, April 1, at the Hilton Anatole was a home run. Only strikeout was the valet parking. One guest waited an hour before the Anatole’s in-house valet staff admitted, “Sorry, but somebody moved it.” Luckily, the vehicle was found. But as the driver left he saw about 50 guests still waiting for their … [Read more...] about Hilton Anatole’s Towne Park Service Once Again Left A Yucky After-Taste For Fundraising Luncheoners Thursday
Hilton Anatole Koi Have New Fishing Holes

Follow Up: A Pat On The Back For TACA And The Hilton Anatole

Instead of tossing the food or feeding … [Read more...] about Follow Up: A Pat On The Back For TACA And The Hilton Anatole
MySweetCharity Elves Test Drive Dallas Streets
If you’ve been watching the TV newscasts, then you’re sure that Dallas is indeed entombed. So, three of the MySweetCharity elves ventured out.
