Tuesday, November 12, 2024

10:30 am – 1:00 pm

10:30 am Gathering
10:45 am Business Meeting
11:00 am Program/Speaker
12:00 pm Luncheon
After lunch… decorating the Alexander Mansion!

Because the DWF will be in the process of dressing up the mansion for the Christmas festivities, and will likely be in some state of disarray, this meeting will go casual & comfy & take place on the 2nd floor only.

The Social Committee theme for the November 12 luncheon will be “Denim and Decorating.” Put away your dresses, pumps, and pearls and wear comfy denim to the meeting with a plan to stay after the luncheon to help begin our Christmas Tea decorating. Let’s DO IT IN DENIM! As the saying goes, “Many hands make light work.” So if you can stay after the meeting to help with any facet of the decorating, we will put you to work! (If you are not a “decorator”, don’t worry – we have seasoned veterans on site who will gladly provide direction for all worker bees. We just need willing hearts & hands.)

Program

Patriot Paws Service Dogs will provide a service dog demonstration
and share their important mission.

The Dallas Woman’s Forum is excited to host Patriot Paws for our November 12th Member Meeting. The mission of Patriot PAWS is to train and provide Service Dogs of the highest quality at no cost to disabled American Veterans and others with mobile disabilities in order to help restore their physical and emotional independence.

From prison cells to college campuses, Patriot PAWS has developed innovative and effective partnerships to support their mission to help train Service Dogs of the highest quality for disabled Veterans.

The member program will include Patriot Paw’s background, services provided, and – most fun of all – a live demonstration by one of their canine members! You don’t want to miss this program!
