    Southwestern Soiree

    Wilkinson Center friends channel spirit of Taos at fun new fall fête

    Hungry philanthropists dressed in their Southwestern best hung out at The Lot for the first-ever Spirit of Taos, a fundraiser hosted by Friends of the Wilkinson Center. The East Dallas restaurant-bar is just minutes from Munger Place Church, where Wilkinson Center got its start as a food pantry in the church basement nearly 32 years ago.

    Event chairs Cathy Brittingham Saxon and Missy Huber and honorary chairs Ann and Bob Dyer welcomed guests first to a cocktail reception, where everyone had their drink of choice and some passed appetizers. A casual seated dinner followed, with tacos, brisket sliders, yuca fries and Emporium Pies.

    To continue with the fundraising, attendees — including Melanie Myers, Anne Reeder, Meredith and Jeremy Zidell, Liz Stutts, Stephanie Taylor, and Matt Muckleroy — bought raffle tickets for a chance to win a variety of amazing prizes, including a cooking celebration at Onion Creek Kitchens at Juniper Hills Farms in Blanco, Texas; custom artwork; and Taos-inspired jewelry.

    As with any good Friday-night affair, the music kept the crowd energized. It started with Frank in the Middle, who passed it off to Melody Guy. After dinner, when it was really time to dance, headliner Michael Hearne stepped in to take it home. And it wasn’t just Young Friends of Wilkinson Center members out on the dance floor: Everyone proved they still had the moves.

    The Wilkinson Center relies on events like the Spirit of Taos to support its mission to create pathways out of poverty by serving more than 14,000 individuals each year through its program areas of food and emergency services, adult education, family enhancement and children’s services.

    What: Young Friends of Wilkinson Center Christmas cocktail party

    Where: Candleroom

    The 411: Nearly300 young professionals put on festive threads, tucked unwrapped gifts under their arms, and headed for the Henderson Avenue hot spot for the group's first holiday party, which also served as the kickoff to the Wilkinson Center's December 17 toy distribution. In addition to the cost of admission, guests made cash donations, and 100 percent of the evening's proceeds went back to the nonprofit, whose mission is to provide Dallasites with pathways out of poverty.

    Who: Kristen and Michael Graska, Baylea Wood, Brandon Stewart, Krystal Houle, Brian Trulove, Vodi Cook, Kelli Mansfield, Krystal Houle, Laura Ailshire, Nikki Foley, Jennifer Dolim, Hunter Heres, Heidi Meier, Chrystie Trimmell, Megan Blessing, Monica Radford, Martha Justice-Moore, Chela Moros, Mary and Rob Grasso, and Laura and Elliot Perry.
