Scene Around Town: Dallas 24 Hour Club and Klyde Warren Park

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 November 17 issue, I was pleased to spotlight photos featuring highlights from Dallas 24 Hour Club who recently hosted its 10th Annual Dallas All Star Chef Classic. Honorary Chef Chair Sharon Van Meter led the team of more than 20 local chefs while Kristin and James Hallam served as event chairs. All monies raised during the Dallas All Star Chef Classic directly benefited the Residents at The 24 who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction and are becoming contributing and self-supporting members of the community. Also featured is Klyde Warren Park whose annual fundraiser, Party in the Park, presented by Republic National Distributing Company, raised almost $1 million toward keeping the Park clean, safe and active. Honorary Chairs for this signature event were Myrna and Bob Schlegel. Event Chairs include the Schlegels’ son, Kirby Schlegel, and their daughters and spouses: Krystal and Luke Davis, Kari and Troy Kloewer and Kimberly and Justin Whitman.
