Last night Café Pacific was popping as usual. While the bar brimmed primarily with the guy types, at 5:30 a group of tables in the dining room were pulled together. First to appear tableside was SPCA kingpin James Bias. Then Fur Ball Co-chair Phyllis Comu arrived on the scene followed by animal lovers like Katy Murray, Fur Ball Co-Chair Kristen Greenberg, Mary Spencer and SPCA Senior VP Debra Burns. One of the last to arrive was Diane Brierley, just back from New York City, where one of husband Hal Brierley‘s former companies had held a reunion over the weekend.
The Café Pacific get together was billed as something to do with the SPCA’s Paw Cause. Or, at least that’s what Dave Perry Miller’ s Karen Urie was led to believe. Ah, but those SPCA folks are mischievous.
What longtime animal-loving Karen learned was they were all there to notify her that she would be presented the Spencer Humanitarian Award at the black-tie SPCA fundraiser on Saturday, September 24, at the Omni Dallas Hotel.
