Joining this passel of activities supporting veterans is the Housing Crisis Center’s 5th Annual Patriot Party on Friday, November 6, at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. Chairing the event will be Susana Gibb along with Honorary Co-Chairs Lisa and Clay Cooley and committee members Emily Brewer, Angela Choquette, Nita Hudson, Greg Nieberding, Jennifer Owens and Ellen Young.
To help set the mood for the theme “A Night At The Officer’s Club” will be the sounds of Ricki Derek and his Big band that will be just perfect for dancing, cocktailing and bidding in the silent and live auctions.
Funds will support “programming that assists veterans and other vulnerable members of the community.”
According HCC Executive Director Sherri Ansley, “We strongly believe these men and women who selflessly served our country, along with other citizens at risk, deserve our attention and service. The event will be fun and will help us achieve our goal of continuing services for this group of Dallasites in need.”
