Houston Young Professionals Get Sky High for Pooches

What: PetSet Young Professionals launch

Where: The Aqua Room at 2727 Kirby, the swank Upper Kirby high-rise

PC Moment: More than 100 young professionals turned out for the cocktail fete chaired by Kimberly Falgout and Frances Moody. Views of the high-rise pool deck and the city skyline beyond served as stunning backdrop for the lively party scene where the focus was on animal welfare.

PetSet veterans Tena Lundquist Faust and Tama Lundquist shared the PetSet story — more than $1 million donated to animal care non-profits since its inception. Between considering the benefits of membership and bidding on silent auction items, guests noshed on tamale cakes and miniature beef wellingtons washed down with cocktails including the specialty “Pooch Punch,” an irresistible concoction of Chamborde, vodka and lemonade.

Who: Jentry Kelly, Nell Frances Connally, Laine Lieberman, Farrell Lawo, Amy Stephens, Shawn Lynch, Jordan Fewox, Peterson Hawkins, Erick Sandlin, Forrest Reed, Gregg Laswell, Ashlee and Benton Love, Joseph Anderson, Lauren Postler, Christine McWilliams, Brenna Croom, Joseph Doyle, and Bryant Bradley.
