Emily Santillan, Texas Trailblazer Awards luncheon coordinator, is now accepting nominations for The Family Place Man of Influence Award and the Texas Trailblazer Award until June 4th.
 
These two awards, along with The Family Place Youth Service Award and Scholarship and The Family Place Advocacy Award, will be presented at the Texas Trailblazer Awards luncheon on August 20th at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. 
 
The Family Place Man of Influence Award recognizes a North Texan who is leading by example to make domestic violence a "community issue" rather than a "women's issue." Through his lifestyle, he is setting a standard of compassion, support and commitment that promotes healthy relationships.
 
 The Texas Trailblazer Award recognizes a local woman who has achieved significant success despite the obstacles she has faced along the way. She is a woman who has accomplished a "first" and opened the doors of opportunity for other women. She has made significant contributions either in her community, business or profession. No matter what her accomplishments, however, she is a woman who has blazed a trail for others to follow.
 
Featured at the August 20th luncheon will be guest speaker: Janine Latus, author of "If I Am Missing or Dead," a New York Times and London Times best seller. http://www.ifiammissingordead.com
 
Tickets are open to the public, by reservation only: $100 for dutch treat and underwriting begins at $1,500 for a table of ten.

The Drowsy Chaperone - Guaranteed Fun for Father's Day 
June 3 through 15
IT'S THE FUNNIEST MUSICAL YOU'VE NEVER SEEN!

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE won the most 2006 Tony® Awards of any musical on Broadway. This premise sounds hilarious:
 Droswy
It all begins when a die-hard musical fan plays his favorite cast album, a 1928 smash hit called "The Drowsy Chaperone," and the show magically bursts to life. We are instantly immersed in the glamorous, hilarious tale of a celebrity bride and her uproarious wedding day, complete with thrills and surprises that take both the cast (literally) and the audience (metaphorically) soaring into the rafters.
