White Rock Lake Centennial Celebration

You have 100 chances to join in on the fun that is going to be taking place for 100 days with White Rock Lake's Centennial Celebration. Beginning in March and ending with a Centennial Concert by Hard Night's Day on June 26th, there will be almost more than you can handle going on at White Rock Lake. Proceeds from all the events will go to help fund 10 capital improvement projects at White Rock Lake -- just think, in another 100 years they can do this all over again!

The event will be led by honorary chair, Ebby Halliday and each event will be hosted by organizations. There is something for everyone: boat shows, family fun days, beach parties, rowing sprints, photo contests and so much more!

White Rock Lake is such a serene setting and offers so much to everyone living in Dallas and has since 1911!

Each event has different ticket prices (many are free to the public), times and locations around the lake. You can get on their official website and look at all they have to offer with much more description. Enjoy!!

Ebby Halliday 100th Birthday Celebration

Each and every birthday should be special, but a 100th birthday celebration should be an extravaganza, and that is exactly what is going to take place for Ebby Halliday's big century party!

The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, Inc. is pleased to announce Ebby 100, the Ebby Halliday 100th Birthday Celebration benefiting this wonderful cause.

Halliday is not only a savvy businesswoman, but a volunteer extraordinaire in the Dallas community, yet her devotion seems to have no borders, nor does she lack youthfulness and giving. She stands by a quote said by her late-husband, which explains a lot about her character, "Do something for someone every day." That she does...

Come join in the festivities that the Steering Committee, led by Honorary Chairs President & Mrs. George W. Bush and Event Chairs Steve & Barb Durham, have worked tediously on with a solid committee for a night full of excitement!

The revelry includes a cocktail reception, fabulous seated dinner, a Dallas Symphony Orchestra concert with guest artist Mario Frangoulis, followed by a lavish dessert reception. The whole time, paying tribute to the lady of the evening.

The concert, honoring Ms. Halliday will provide college scholarships for Texas students administered by the Horatio Alger Association. Since 1984 they have helped their "heroes" of the future with over 70 million in scholarships.

What a fun sounding evening, so be sure to save-the-date! It will surely be a beautiful equivalent for an outstanding lady who has devoted so much to local community and beyond. This certainly will be an event you do not want to miss.
