Links Mardis Gras Party at Sheraton Austin

Every year, the Mardis Gras party presented by the Town Lake chapter of Links grows in size and stature.

Links, Inc. traditionally confined to African American women, embraces a wide swath of the community as it provides friendship and service, especially focused now on feeding and mentoring low-income school kids.

The Town Lake chapter is very lucky to have Gerry Tucker as its president. Tucker is one of the city’s most charismatic social leaders and a fantastic hostess. She can give my parties any day.

I was at the Sheraton Austin during the more restrained part of Saturday evening, as several hundred guests settled down for dinner to the swoony sounds of a jazz band. I was hoping to catch the dancing later, but it was a crazy busy evening.

That said, I sat for dessert and gossip with several of my favorite people: Christine and Terrence Moline, My-Cherie Haley, Lisa Hufnagel, Rodney Ahart and Revlynn Lawson. How cool is that?
