Trail of Cheers

Standing room may have been the situation at NorthPark Center’s La Duni Latin Kitchen & Coffee Studio, but that didn’t seem to bother supporters of The Family Place, who crowded in for a cocktail reception, sponsored by Artizone, announcing the 2011 Texas Trailblazer Awards recipients. While 1888 Dirtiest Martinis, artisan cheese and dessert selections made the rounds, event co-chairs Hadley Galt and Honey Rothermel, along with honorary chair Margot Perot, greeted guests and kicked off the introductions of this year’s honorees the likes of U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and retired Dallas Police Lieutenant Bill Walsh, among others, who all received plenty of applause.
