What: Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary kickoff tea party
Where: Neiman Marcus
PC Moment: While the ladies have been collecting topnotch, gently-worn clothing and accessories for months for the spring event, the 14th annual “Reflections on Style” luncheon, fashion show and chic boutique enjoyed a glamorous kickoff courtesy of Neiman Marcus. Lilly Andress and Amanda Gelb chaired the gathering that honored Betty Hrncir, contributing Life Member of the auxiliary and president of the Barbara Bush Ladies for Literacy Guild.
The event served as a reminder of the four-day (April 18-21) “Reflections” on Style fundraiser that launches on April 17 with the sellout luncheon, show and sale at River Oaks Country Club. Chairing that event are Leigh Newton Alvarez and Dev Stern.
Neiman Marcus was the ideal venue as the ladies could shop the designers, then make room in their closets by donating older pieces to the sale.
