Happy New Year!!!  It is time once again for the social event of the season!  The Wharton Alumni Club of DFW is pleased to once again host the Annual Membership Gala - An Evening to Remember!

This is an exciting, cocktail attire, Members Only event held at the beginning of each calendar year to celebrate the successes from previous year, and to launch the upcoming year's programming.  This year, we are spicing it up once again!  The gala will take place at the Foundation Room at the House of Blues with heavy hors d'oeurves, complimentary valet parking and a cash bar. 

As a special treat - we will also be featuring an onsite, professional photographer, Mamie Woods, to capture you at your very best!  She will be taking formal photographs as well as candid, action shots.  When was the last time you and your hunniebunnie had a professional photograph made?  All images will be available for download at no charge.

To continue the tradition established over the past years, the Club has honored its members with a complimentary ticket to the event with your paid membership to say Thank You for your support and participation.  Significant others are more than welcomed, they are encouraged!  Guests can be registered and their tickets purchased online as well.  This elegant event has proven to be a wonderful success, reaching capacity or near capacity each year!  Details for this year's event are as follows:
