(Community Matters) We attended the Austin Community Foundation’s Celebration of Giving last night at the Four Season. I so enjoy when Steven and I get to attend something together, even if he can only stay for part of the event.
Jolynn Free and Max Sherman co-chaired a wonderfully intimate event of mostly friends, nearly all significant community contributors. Spent most of the cocktail hour connecting with Jolynn, Max, Lynn & Tommie Meredith, Michael Barnes, Nancy Scanlan, Etta Moore, Linda Benge & Paul Robshaw and Cindy & Gary Valdez.
ACF honored Etta Moore, Foundation Communities, the Three J’s (Joanne Christian, Jane Sibley & Jare Smith) and Donna Stockton-Hicks & Steve Hicks. Ken Gladish delivered the evening’s keynote.
Lots of great friends and colleagues in attendance including our table mates: Deborah Edwards & Lynn Sanders (Deborah headed to India this month), Janet Harman & Kent Mayes and Heather and Bobby McBride. As well, Christopher Kennedy, Kerry Tate (Susan doing well and about to enter treatment again), Nona Niland and David Braun, Steve Shook, Katherine & Doug Jones, Cliff Redd, Walter Moreau, Lynn Sherman, Maline McCalla, Mike Cook, Greg Marchbanks, Cookie Hilliard and Sandy Gottesman.
