The event will be hosted by Mary Kay, Inc. and will be held from 11:30 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. at Mary Kay, Inc., 1331 Regal Row.

SCBA ANNUAL HOLIDAY MIXER
SCBA Holiday Mixer Huge Success
by Brooke Dieterlen
Many Holiday thanks to Dallas Market Center's leadership and staff for hosting the SCBA 2005 Annual Holiday Mixer. On Tuesday, December 13th, 2005, the SCBA Annual Holiday Mixer was held at the Interntational Floral and Gift Center. Many political and business leaders were in attendance with over 150 other corporate representatives. The event had live entertainment provided by dj, Allison Gordon. Dallas Market Center sponsored the food, beverages and holiday decorations. The event site was decorated with two trees, one of which was decorated with specially crafted items by the children at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. All attendees were asked to bring a gift to be donated back to the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for the children to enjoy and hundreds were collected the evening of the event.
