There was a Smoking Haute Style Council announced at DISH last Thursday night! DIFFA/Dallas announced their 2012 Style Council Ambassadors last night at a party hosted by DISH Restaurant. Guests sipped on delicious libations and noshed on bites while the new Style Council Members mixed and mingled with the crowd.
This year’s style council includes a diverse group of ambassadors across various industries and backgrounds. So, you are probably thinking, "What does it mean to be on the Style Council for DIFFA?" Well, let me tell you. Members of the Style Council are responsible for getting out the word about DIFFA and fundraising for the signature event, the Collection, which this year is called Smoking Haute. It will take place at the Anatole on March 31.

About DIFFA
DIFFA plays a major part in HIV/AIDS funding, awareness and prevention education in the North Texas area, having granted over $4.5 million dollars since 1988.
