Fall Fusion at Dell Jewish Community Campus

Two themes for the Fall Fusion Party at the Dell Jewish Community Campus: Endeavor and “Saturday Night Live.” The realty and development company, including principals Jeff Newberg, Andy Pastor and Kirk Rudy, were saluted. The sketch comedy show provided the characters and activities for the JCC gym.

The place was packed with food, drink and fun. The organizers predict the event will raise a good $200,000 which is well above average for a seasonal gala, even one with more than 500 guests dressed in mostly business casual.

A few things about attending an event at the JCC: The grounds are capacious, the parking generous and the place makes sense socially. The rooms feed into one another in a rational way. It’s also a pretty straight shot from downtown. We’re compiling a list of social venues for Glossy, and the JCC hadn’t yet come up, but after Fall Fusion, it went way up on my list.

The organizers graciously urged me to stay for the presentations later in the evening, but I’d already made the round trip to Houston for one party, and had yet another social obligation in the wings. Next time, next time.
