Scene Around Town: Dallas Service Forum and Equest

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 August 9 issue, I was pleased to share highlights from Dallas Service Forum who held a luncheon and silent auction fundraiser on April 23 at the Northwood Club featuring keynote speaker award winning author Judy Gaman.  The event was attended by 200 guests and raised over $90,000.00 for its non-profit agency partners. Also featured were scenes from Equest’s 43rd Annual Blue Ribbon Gala where Pamela Dealey Petty was honored as this year's Founder’s Award recipient and Carolyn Anderson was presented the Citation Award. The gala netted a record $299,453.00.

Have an event you’d like to submit for editorial consideration? Here’s what you need to email me:

  • Send 4-8 images for consideration

  • No repeats (meaning the same person can’t be in multiple shots)

  • You must ID the people in each photo (left to right)

  • Tell me the name of the event, the location of where it was held, and provide a brief description of the event

  • Please send one event submission per email with the name of the event in the Subject line
