held on February 15th was the first event held to assure the budget line item of $65,000 for fundraising events is met. The event featured sterling performances by Senator John Cornyn, Attorney General Greg Abbott, and Congressman Kevin Brady, and added over $26,000 (40% of the budget line item) to the treasury while limiting the overhead to 35%. State Representative Brandon Creighton did a terrific job as the event's Master of Ceremonies. Special credit for this success goes to Event Chairman Brigitte Izzo, to Mary Lea Kirk, Merrillyn Kulis, Pearl Maggio, Alice Melancon and Sara Reardon for table center pieces and to Dorothy Woodall, Judge Claudia Laird, Sandi Curtis, Beverly Sisk, Maureen Cromeans, Donna Gossett, Ann Herbek and Sandra Bolen for manning the registration tables.
