Scene Around Town: Northwood Women's Club and Dallas Arboretum

As Society Editor for the Katy Trail Weekly I oversee the publication's Scene Around Town feature, which shines a spotlight on nonprofit and community events each week. In this week’s January 28 issue, I was pleased to spotlight photos featuring highlights from “Dine by Design” hosted by Northwood Woman’s Club. featuring more than two dozen tablescapes, each elaborately themed and decorated. Traditionally, only members and guests of the luncheon have been able to enjoy the experience of these grand tables. For 2021, following the group’s annual luncheon, the respected volunteer organization opened the event to the public for a two-week viewing hosted at Galleria Dallas. Also featured are scenes from this past October, when the Dallas Arboretum hosted its Great Contributors Dinner honoring Luci Baines Johnson, daughter of President Lyndon Baines Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson.
