Furniture masters make a difference

I enjoy a good play on words even more when it's paired with a great cause. Thus, it pleases me that the Furniture Marketing Group and Haworth are hosting the "Everyone Deserves a Place at the Table" fundraiser for the North Texas Food Bank...since, well, both organizations deal with those icons of dinnertime: the table. With tasty bites, raffle prizes, silent auction and some creative design, the event makes a statement and a family somewhere a little less hungry. Visit the Haworth Showroom, 325 N. St. Paul St., Republic Center, Suite 150, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday. Tickets are $30 at the door. Visit ntxfoodbank.org.
Thu., Sept. 25, 5:30-8 p.m., 2008
