As the Katy Trail Weekly’s Society Editor I oversee the publication's Scene Around Town feature, which shines a spotlight on nonprofit and community events each week. In this week’s June 26-July 1 issue, I was pleased to spotlight Texas Ale Project who celebrated their 6th Anniversary on Dallas’ craft beer scene with a four-day beer and music event. Proceeds went to support Staff Meal through the Fest Events Foundation. To honor all the mothers at Nexus Recovery Center, the Auxiliary of Nexus established a Pop-Up Flower Shop with a giveback element. Dedicated Auxiliary advocates worked with Nexus clients to curate bountiful, colorful blooms which were sold for Mother’s Day. All of proceeds of the bouquets went straight back to the empowering mission of Nexus. Lastly, since 1969, Dallas 24 Hour Club has provided safe, sober transitional living for homeless men and women seeking a brand-new life away from drugs and alcohol. Steak Night happens on the first Saturday of each month giving supporters and the public a chance to fellowship with community members and residents of The 24. For $14.99 (+ tax) attendees will receive a 10oz ribeye steak, loaded baked potato, ranchero beans, and garden salad. Non-alcoholic beverages (bottled water, sodas, coffee, etc) will be available at an additional cost. Payment is taken onsite. For those who are interested, open support meetings will be held onsite at 8PM or 10PM.
