On Wednesday, February 19,
past and present contributors to the Lone Star Stomp met for the annual
kick-off luncheon. This year’s gathering was graciously hosted by Billie Wendt in
her lovely Richmond home.
“The Lone
Star Stomp is the spring fundraiser for the Fort Bend County Museum
Association. What better way to kick-off preparations for the event than to
invite our long time supporters to meet the Honorary Chairs and Event Committee
over lunch! We truly appreciate all that our supporters do for the Museum
Association each year,” said Claire Rogers, Executive Director.
Although kick-off
attendees brought in a variety of items, there is still a need for more
donations for this important fundraising gala. Stomp organizers are actively
gathering donations for the live, silent, and Silver Star auctions. Donations
can be brought to the McFarlane House, located at 410 Jackson Street in Richmond,
during regular business hours.
Proceeds
from Lone Star Stomp XXV benefit the Fort Bend County Museum Association and
its mission to teach and preserve Texas history. A variety of underwriting
and sponsorship opportunities are available. Individual tickets are $65 each,
and tables for eight can be reserved for $600. To get
involved in keeping Texas History alive for future generations to enjoy, email
