Opening Doors Dinner 2010
Check back soon!
The MHMR Visions Third Annual Opening Doors Dinner is planned for spring 2010.
The dinner will be held on the beautiful patio at Joe T Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant
in Fort Worth. Plans are under way for a very special entertainment that we know
everyone will enjoy. The silent auction will be back bigger and better than last
year, and, once again, we will be honoring a person for his or her outstanding vision,
leadership and commitment to persons with disabilities.
We need your help to make this event really special. Please take a moment to nominate
someone to honor as the 2009 Opening Doors Leader. The person you nominate should
be someone who, through his or her efforts, has made a significant contribution
on behalf of persons served by MHMR of Tarrant County. Your nominee may be an advocate,
community leader, parent, employee, or elected official.
