PC Moment: Chairs of the 15th annual luncheon and fashion show Karina Barbieri and Daisy Mendoza helped spread the enthusiasm for the fundraiser scheduled for May 5 at the Hilton Americas-Houston. The ladies sipped margaritas made with Chamucos tequila and sampled party fare from H-E-B while shopping Tootsies goods and visiting with wildly popular jewelry designer Claudia Lobao, originally from Brazil but now calling San Antonio home. Extending the welcome to more than 150 guests was LWI president Michele Leah Farah.
