Event chair Carol March was joined by STT board members Karol Omlor, John Farrell, and board president Joshua D. Terry for the eighth annual event, which began with mingling and the perusal of raffle items like a Dallas staycation package, a feast from Terry Black’s Barbecue, a selection of fine whiskeys, baskets stuffed with the STT’s board’s “favorite things,” and tickets to productions by Undermain Theatre, Kitchen Dog Theater, and Danielle Georgiou Dance Group.
