Lone Star Stomp preparations kick-off at annual luncheon On Wednesday, February 19, past and present contributors to the Lone Star Stomp met for the annual kick-off luncheon. This year’s gathering was graciously hosted by Billie Wendt in her lovely Richmond home. “The Lone Star Stomp is the spring fundraiser for the Fort Bend County Museum Association. What better way to kick-off preparations for the event than to invite our long time supporters to meet the Honorary Chairs and Event Committee over lunch! We truly appreciate all that our supporters do for the Museum Association each year,” said Claire Rogers, Executive Director. Although kick-off attendees brought in a variety of items, there is still a need for more donations for this important fundraising gala. Stomp organizers are actively gathering
What a decade full of freewheeling fun! The Fort Bend Education Foundation and Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, LLP are pleased to present the Roaring 20’s Gala. This keen evening will be held on March 1, at the Sugar Land Marriott Hotel. Be the best dressed in the crowd as you get your Gatsby on… Flappers, get all dolled up in your fringe, feathers and pearls. Dappers, don your spats,
