F asten your seatbelts, party animals. Houston's charitable social season is going full force with a swirls of galas, luncheons and cocktail parties. It was a party season beginning like no other. Keep your party shoes shined as October has our heads spinning.

F ifty years and more than $500 million invested in supporting parks across the area. . . that's reason enough for a grand celebration which raised a record $1 million for Houston Parks Board. It was an exuberant evening at The Revaire, marking this milestone.

The Red Hot Gala never fails to ignite a wildly enthusiastic crowd particularly when the Fire Fighter Calendar men make an all-pecs and biceps parade down
