Cannes Can
Friends gather to kick off the Greer Garson Gala in style
Just days after Tiffany Derry worked her last meal service, Friends of the Greer Garson Gala gathered at Private Social for the kickoff to the 2013 affair themed "An Evening in Cannes." The annual springtime fete supports women's and infant services at the Margot Perot Center at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
Honorary chair Rachel Fresquez, who is also the marketing coordinator for the West Village, told us that she became involved with the gala through her mother, Janet Fresquez, the underwriting gala chair, and her friend, Jennifer LeLash, the gala co-chair.
"Being in my mid-20s, I look around and all my friends are beginning to get married and have babies," Fresquez said. "The women's and infant services at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas are the kinds of programs that we need to be supporting, because any one of us could need them at any moment."
LeLash and her husband, Chris, welcomed chic devotees and committee members, including Friends of Greer Garson chair Jennifer Buxton, Jay McAuley, Maggie Kipp, Brooke and Aaron Shelby, Missy Wyszynski, Raul Ruiz, Linda and Les Secrest,and Maria and Hunter Sullivan, who is performing at this year's gala on April 20.
Everyone sipped on Gin-ger Mules, Jayne Says Swizzle and Fall Into a Glass cocktails and noshed on steamed pork buns, smoked tomato shooters, roasted marshmallow milkshakes and warm cookies. There was also a raffle drawing for prizes from the shops at West Village.
