Looking Ahead

Dine by Design

Love a beautifully set table? The Northwood Woman’s Club will celebrate that with the “Dine by Design, It’s All on the Table” luncheon and exhibit at the Galleria Dallas.

Those who attend the $125 luncheon on Oct. 28 get the first looks at the more than two dozen tablescapes elaborately themed and decorated. Luncheon registration begins at 9:30 a.m. that day at the Westin Galleria Dallas.

But new this year, the public can also view the tables from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays beginning Oct. 29 and running through Nov. 14 on level one near Grand Lux Café. Those tickets are $10. Visit galleriadallas.com.

Larry Good, founding principal and chairman of Dallas-based firm GFF, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. Deedie Rose will get the George Foster Harrell Award for her role as a philanthropist and connector in moving forward some of Dallas’ most impactful projects. Visit dallasadex.org.
