HOUSTON, TX - Society for the Performing Arts, bringing the World’s best to Houston, just announced that this year’s annual luncheon will have a new twist.  SPA is thrilled to unveil the new theme “Lunch with a Houston Icon” that will feature famed Houstonian Lynn Wyatt and will be moderated by Houston Chronicle Social Columnist Shelby Hodge.  This year’s luncheon is being
chaired by the dynamic duo of Rosemary Schatzman and Vanessa Sendukas and will take place on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at River Oaks Country Club.  The event will begin with a champagne reception at 11:30am followed by lunch
at noon. 

Mrs. Wyatt will be answering questions and sharing stories of her life of style, travel and being involved in international society.  “We are thrilled that Lynn has agreed to join us for the SPA luncheon.  Her participation will go a long way to help us raise much needed funds for the education and outreach programs of SPA,” said Rosemary Schatzman, who went on to say “because Lynn is a native Houstonian, Vanessa and I could think of no one better to be involved in SPA’s inaugural Houston Icons luncheon.”
