The Nature Discovery Center’s Twilight Gala committee (pictured) coordinated a successful evening that raised more than $129,000. Hosted at the Junior League of Houston, the annual Twilight Gala, Rooted in Gratitude, was chaired by committee members Kristi Coffey and Cindy Siegel, and featured emcee Tom Koch with entertainment by Felix & Fingers Dueling Pianos. Proceeds from the event will fund the Center’s operations and programs, as well as support the development of Enchanted Woods, the Center’s planned immersive nature play area. Gala committee members pictured are (from left) Jamie Allen, Marybeth Flaherty, Meghan Lutschg, Darenda Dorsey, Kristi Coffey, Cindy Siegel, Meredith Wheeler, Meredith Symonds, Elizabeth Garcia, and Kristin Berry.
