Is the term, “one-of-a-kind” overused? Not in the case of the auction items at the sold-out Whiskers & Wags Gala on April 23. Along with great trips and merchandise, some are created just for this event.
How about a brunch at Chili’s? They don’t have one? Yes they do, just for you – and 15 of your best friends. Chili’s will open early just for you and your party and serve a menu (does not have to be a Chili’s item) that you decide. Also included is alcohol. And the staff is only there to serve you. What a corporate or family outing to remember.

East Texas Crisis Center press release
The concept is simple – let each woman tell her story in her own unique way, using words and artwork to decorate her shirt. Once finished, she would then hang her shirt on the clothesline.
This very action serves many purposes. It acts as an educational tool for those who come to view the Clothesline; it becomes a healing tool for anyone who make a shirt – by hanging the shirt on the line, survivors, friends and family can literally turn their back on some of that pain of their experience and walk away; finally it allows those who are still suffering in silence to understand that they are not alone.
