Take a sip or two after a trip to our fabulous bar and nosh on nibbles from Chadra Mezza.  You will dance around the room from painting to painting, preparing to bid on beautiful art and silent auction items.  A large portion of the proceeds from all sales will benefit the 2011-2012 HWNT Scholarship Fund. 

Meet and inspire the girls who are competing for these precious college funds.  Celebrate with us as we honor various community leaders who have paved the way over the last 26 years for the Fort Worth Chapter of the Hispanic Women's Network of Texas.  Aurora Bleu will entertain us with their smooth jazzy sounds as one of our artists paints on live models. 

Remember, when You Win, She Wins!
