The 2007 “Rock & Read” Annual Gala

On March 29th, SAYL celebrated the 2007 Rock & Read Gala at the Witte Museum.

Over 200 guests dressed in their best duds enjoyed a western-themed evening centered on former Governor Dolph Briscoe and the exhibit, A Wild and Vivid Land: Stories of South Texas.

The evening’s air was filled with the crowd-pleasing sounds of country western music provided by San Antonio’s own Rick Cavender Band and the scrumptious smells of mouth-watering vittles catered by The RK Group.

SAYL would especially like to thank Governor Briscoe, his daughter Janey Marmion, Bill Greehey, and Kathryn Mays Johnson for creating a very special and memorable Gala.
