“There was no hesitation on my part regarding participating in this exciting new event benefiting building restoration at Dallas Heritage Village,” added Michael Martensen.  “I am delighted to help and be a part of something that benefited such an outstanding nationally accredited history museum in Dallas.  It’s true that I am a huge history buff…and if you’ve seen my line up of drink menus at Cedars Social, you probably are already aware.  The only way in this life that we can understand who we are and how we got to be that way is by studying the past.  Dallas Heritage Village helps people of all ages discover that every day!”
