Amy Turner hosted the high-energy, well-heeled crowd of underwriters, in-kind donors and guests at the Simply Summer….Simply Shoes Patron Party last night. Greeted by Patron Party Chairman Elizabeth Hawkins, guests were welcomed with nibbles by Wendy Krispin Caterer, a specialty “Simply Summer Breeze” cocktail and tunes by DJ Andre.
After event chairmen Kim Lewis-Gleason, Kristen Lippe and Jennifer Lott Smit thanked the many underwriters, including “Boot” level patrons Katherine and Eric Reeves and Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP, guests stayed into the evening mingling, visiting and dancing. Upon leaving, they were handed a gift bag filled with a Renee Rouleau Deluxe Hydrating Facial and Mint Buffing Beads, Fiji water, a take-home treat from Nothing Bundt Cakes, a complimentary gelato from Paciugo and a copy of Modern Luxury Dallas.
