Feel The Love Friday 4


Paws In the City presents Paws at the Oasis at Hotel ZaZa! They will be hosting their Spring fundraiser event poolside on Thursday, April 30th 7pm-930pm. Admission tickets are $22, included are two drink vouchers. Additional drink vouchers can be purchased for $6 each. All proceeds go to Paws in the City. Hors D'oeuvres will be passed, goodie bags will be handed out, and several items will be up for silent auction. And of course, you can adopt a pet while you sip! All in all, a nice evening spent in a luxurious setting, helping a great organization. Here is their website for further information on the event. Hope you can make it out! 

A little bit about Paws in the City:

Paws In The City is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization committed to ending the abuse, neglect and overpopulation of Dallas area dogs and cats. Our goal is that every adoptable dog and cat get a loving home. By providing money for spay/neuter and increasing the adoption rate, we take the first step in making Dallas a no kill city.

Paws In The City has spent many years rescuing and healing the abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats of our community. We have placed dogs and cats into our foster homes and then into adoptive homes. We also conduct offsite adoptions for the City of Dallas municipal animal shelter because they kill almost 30,000 animals..add the metroplex and it climbs to 200,000. Every dollar raised goes to foster, adoption, medical and spay/neuter programs.

Tea With the Mad Hatter


Wednesday, April 22nd marks the date for the 21st Annual Mad Hatter's Tea Party at the Dallas Arboretum. This annual event is put on by The Woman's Council of the Dallas Arboretum. The theme this year is Under the Cherry Blossoms (oh, my favourite tree!) and includes a champagne reception, luncheon, silent auction, and of course, a hat judging! And most importantly, proceeds go to benefit A Woman's Garden Fund. Here is the link to the website for more information and ticket purchase.

So, ladies, support the fair sex and bring your green hat!

Feel The Love Friday III


Ladies, have any of those fancy ball gowns hanging in your closet? You keep thinking there's going to be that black tie affair or formal wedding to attend, but it just hasn't came up yet. Well, let's put those dresses to good use. The Prom Shop Project is now hosting their 2009 Spring Giving Dress Drive! As they say, you can be someone's fairy godmother and give underprivileged girls to wear a beautiful dress to their prom. You can mail your dresses to Kim Peters, the president and founder, or drop off year round at Kenny's Cleaners in Oak Lawn. Here is the link to their website, you can check for upcoming dress drive events and further information. The Prom Shop Project also promotes emotional growth for young ladies year round. What a fabulous way to put your flair for shopping to good use!
