100 WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP GALA IS A HUGE SUCCESS
Almost four hundred friends of HWIL came out last Thursday to recognize our 100 Women in Leadership Award Winners. Guests enjoyed drinks, dinner, entertainment and a fabulous silent auction.
A special thanks to Sculptures by Design, who lent us their beautiful art work for the centerpieces. Several guests thought the centerpieces could be taken, this was not the case. We are missing 1 wood cross and 2 alien clay pieces, if you have them, please contact us immediately.The art was on loan to HWIL for the evening, and we need to return it promptly. If you are interested in purchasing a piece from last night, you can contact Sculptures by Design, 713.623.0550
THANK YOU to our event sponsors, The Houston Astros, Metro, Tejas Office Products, Inc, Midway, Vista Bank, Houston Community Health Centers and State Farm.
