American Heart Assocation “Heart Beat Ball” chairs Bobbie and John Nau provided a warm welcome for guests as they arrived at the Silver Eagle Distributors’ Wash Ave digs to kick off this month’s main event. Honorees were announced and auction items for the ball were on preview. … Jennifer and Wil VanLoh opened their River Oaks home for an outdoor soirée in honor of the Texas Children’s Hospital Ambassadors annual holiday party. Swift + Co. created dramatic floral towers and table arrangements, and the David Caceres Band cranked up the tunes. Proceeds benefited the hospital’s new Pavilion for Women.
