Scene Around Town: Dec My Room, Stanley Korshak, and The Conservancy at Turtle Creek Park
As Society Editor for the Katy Trail Weekly I oversee the publication's Scene Around Town feature, which shines a spotlight on nonprofit and community events each week. In the July 2026 issue, I’m featuring scenes from Dec My Room who welcomed a sold-out crowd of nearly 300 attendees to the 8th Annual Room to Grow Luncheon raising funds to create a cheerful space for pediatric patients with long-term hospital stays. Also highlighted were scenes from Stanley Korshak who, in partnership with the Italian Trade Agency, hosted patrons for a fashion show and luncheon celebrating Italian craftsmanship, culture, and style. Stanley Korshak’s Chuck Steelman and special guest speaker Michele Callegari shared insights into Italian fashion, craftsmanship, and Italy's enduring influence on global style. Lastly, supporters of The Conservancy at Turtle Creek Park dressed in their finest Derby fashion for the 18th annual Day at the Races, raising over $500K for continued conservation of the Turtle Creek Park-area. Guests enjoyed a silent auction, a wagering wall, and an exciting broadcast of the Kentucky Derby race.
