On October 29, the Dallas Historical Society hosted a patron party
for 2014 Awards for Excellence in Community Service recipients, sponsors and
distinguished guests. It was a true Texas affair as guests arrived at the Hall
of State at Fair Park, one of the most beautiful art deco buildings in the
state. Set for November 20 at the Fairmont Hotel, the luncheon is the Dallas
Historical Society’s largest and most important fundraising event to support
its educational and preservation programs.

Lynn and Allan McBee, Dallas Historical Society’s co-chairmen of the board of trustees, welcomed guests in the G.B. Dealey Library West Texas room. Lynn
remarked, “Welcome to the Dallas Historical Society’s patron party. We are in a
historic room that has been redesigned as a research library to access the organization’s
extensive collection. DHS processes more than 2,000 research requests per year.
Speaking of collections, just last week, the granddaughter of Judge Lew Sterrett
donated scrapbooks and personal papers of the judge to the collection.”
