Wizard of Oz Night

by Evin Thayer on January 23, 2010

Thayer... Evin Thayer combined 184x300 Wizard of Oz NightLions, Tigers and Bears…. Oh My!!  At Discovery Green in downtown Houston the Social Book turned the downtown park into the Land of Oz on Thursday evening, January 21st.  Scott Evans, the founder of the Social Book, put together an all star cast with the Richard Brown orchestra and many songs from The Wizard of Oz.  Opera tenor, Kenneth Gayle sang “Home” from the Wiz.  Many of the Gala chairs for all the 2010 fundraisers were at hand to taste treats from the local Houston restaurants. 

The Social Book is celebrating its 15th year.  I can remember when Scott Evans, Warner Roberts and I sat at Andres Café to plan the start of the Social Book.  Wow – Has the time flown by!  The Social Book is now the go to reference guide for all big functions here in Houston.  I was quite honored to be included this year in the Social Book’s “Houston Treasures”.  I’m not quite sure what kind of “treasure” I am, but many thanks to Scott and Warner!
