In this week’s August 16 issue, I was pleased to share highlights from KidneyTexas, Inc's Spring Tea the buzz was all about the news focusing on The Runway Report Fashion Show and Luncheon, which will celebrate its 25th year this year with its Silver Jubilee on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 at the Brook Hollow Golf Club.
