The Austin Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary (SAWA) held their fourth annual Garden Party of Tablescapes and Spring Style Show at The Four Seasons Austin. The event was a luncheon, complete with elegant tablescapes, live entertainment, and a fashion show with styles from The Garden Room. Each table was decorated by a local tablescape designer. The keynote speaker was Holly Holden, CEO of Holden & Company, Ltd., author, and executive producer and host of a PBS television series, You Are Cordially Invited.

Event proceeds benefited The Rathgeber Center for Families, one of two Salvation Army family shelters in Austin. Since 1889, The Salvation Army Austin Area Command has provided services to meet the basic needs of homeless and low-income populations in Central Texas. Annually, they serve more than 10,000 people with shelter, addiction rehabilitation, clothing, meals, holiday support, and direct client assistance.
