Thanks for the comment and the compliment on my philanthropy. Yes, I guess these photos could be a bit misleading but I am far from discriminatory and that never entered my mind. Thank you for pointing that out to be so that I can be sensitive to all my readers! The event was a dinner party for 8 people that I donated to the Arkansas Repertory Theatre, where I serve on the board of directors, to be sold to the highest bidder. One of our friends who is also on the board with me and his wife shown in some of the photos purchased the party and invited six of their friends. Then I hired my great friend Evette, owner of restaurant 1620 here in Little Rock to cater the party. My husband and I had the best seat in the house, sitting at the kitchen table watching Evett and her team create this gorgeous meal and serving it to the party guests. Because the party was in August, the hottest month in Arkansas, we had a white theme where the guests wore white clothing, we had white decor and we served the guest white food. I am donating the party again next year but thanks to your great comment I might mix things up a bit next year and make it a red party or some other fabulous color. Thanks again for reading and for your comment. Hi Colleen. Thanks for the comment and the compliment on my philanthropy.

But I can't help but be disturbed by the obvious racial/ethnicity division at your event. Where was this again? Looks like an image straight out of the 60's. Very alarming.
