Inspired by her fascination with and knowledge of severe weather, Kristine Kahanek recognized that children's natural fear of extreme weather is often alleviated with a simple explanation. A Mother, an acclaimed TV meteorologist for 20 years and the first female chief meteorologist in Texas, Kristine now embraces entrepreneurship and combines her passion and experience to create something for parents, teachers, and children to better understand and appreciate the weather.

The race is on as Altrusa DFW offers up plenty of praise and purpose in anticipation of its sixth annual Black Tie & Boots Gala - Run for the Roses! On Saturday, February 13th, 2010, more than 200 people will grab their silks, tuxedos, boots and hats to "stirrup" fun at the elegant Hilton Hotel in Southlake Town Square. Just in time for Valentine's Day, this year's gala promises to be an evening worthy of celebration, featuring State Representative Vicki Truitt as the Honorary Chair! In addition to donating her popular “Page for a Day Package” which will be auctioned live, she has also promised to sing a special song just for this event.
