Bova Designs in North Dallas hosts party announcing Suzette Derrick as KidneyTexas 2010 President and the 2010 Luncheon Celebrating 10 Years of Giving With Style Fashion Show Chairs, Patty Jo Turner, Carmaleta Whiteley and Reneé Winter
(March 3, 2010) KidneyTexas board of directors, luncheon committee and auxiliary supporters joined together at Bova Designs in North Dallas to announce Suzette Derrick as president, KidneyTexas 2010, and the luncheon and fashion show Celebrating 10 Years of Giving With Style chairs, Patty Jo Turner, Carmaleta Whiteley and Reneé Winter.
Hosted by Maggie and Nir Sova, owners of Bova Designs, the party was a unique and very special shopping experience, with specials offered to all who attended.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 8th for Celebrating 10 Years of Giving With Style, the KidneyTexas 2010 Luncheon and Fashion Show featuring fashions by Stanley Korshak at the Hilton Anatole Hotel’s Chantilly Ballroom.
The luncheon benefits KidneyTexas and beneficiaries to be named soon.
Celebrating 10 years of KidneyTexas, the co-chairs are honoring former luncheon chairs and honorary chairs. Both Carmaleta Whiteley and Renee Winter are former luncheon chairs and have served on the KidneyTexas board. Patty Jo Turner is one of the co-founders of KidneyTexas, as well as a former luncheon co-chair and board member.
Patty Jo’s grandmother, Rose Haggar, died of kidney disease at a time when there was only one dialysis machine in Dallas. Ed Haggar, Patty Jo’s father, wanted to improve on that situation, so in the late 60s, with the help of her mother, Patty Haggar, they gathered a few good women including Ginger Harvey, and implemented the first Mother/Daughter Fashion Show at Northwood Country Club to raise much needed monies for the cause. This very small event continued to grow every year until present day KidneyTexas, Inc. production that touts 1200 community leaders in attendance.
