Kirk Longmire, Kristy Phillips, & Cody Soutar at the aniMeals kick-off.
I had a lovely evening a few nights back; I attended a kick-off party for the Best Friends Brunch.
The Best Friends Brunch benefits aniMeals on Wheels, a division of Interfaith Ministries Meals on Wheels program. I found out about this worthy charity through my friends, sisters Kristy Phillips and Wendy Phillips who are serving as brunch chairs. Apparently administrators for the Meals on Wheels program learned of a need for pet food when questioning drivers about what they were learning on their routes. Seems program recipients were not finishing their meals in order to save a portion for their four-legged companions. The aniMeals program was created so that home-bound seniors would not feel compelled to share their limited food with pets.
Where I Found You by Erika Pochybova Johnson, DM Allison Gallery, Houston
Dan Allison graciously opened the doors of D M Allison Gallery on Houston’s Gallery Row in the Upper Kirby District. Guests sipped Pura Vida Tequila while mingling amongst the paintings of Erika Pochybova Johnson. Taco Moderno provided nibbles in the back gallery.
The main event will take place on February 14th, 2015, at the Omni Hotel at Four Riverway Plaza in Houston. A reception begins the festivities at 11am followed by brunch, a program, and a fashion show.
I was asked to walk in the fashion show and of course I agreed! After a short discussion I asked co-chair Kristy Phillips who I’d be wearing.
“Darling, you can wear what you want,” she replied. “The fashion show is for dogs.”
So, of course, our Delta Dawn (see Dog on Monday: Delta Dawn) will indeed be seen on the runway in an outfit of my own design. Tickets are still available from $150 to $1,000. Get your seats to witness Delta Dawn’s big debut into society!
