Feel free to dress in fabulous 40’s attire or as your favorite character from the movie. This is Texas, so you might want to come dressed in business casual, your Sunday best, or even Texas traditional.
Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Home-Delivered Meals program of Meals On Wheels, Inc. of Tarrant County and help provide life-saving meals and other critical services to the homebound elderly and disabled residents of Tarrant County.
Parking
Complimentary valet parking is available for this event. Meals On Wheels is providing this service at a cost of $18 per vehicle. You may want to consider paying the valet cost yourself to help offset this cost to the agency. If so, simply pay the attendant at the valet stand.
