Slipper Club of Dallas

From 2023-2034 president Laura Lynn De Loache:

“Being the Slipper Club President for the last year has been such an honor! I’ve had the pleasure of working side by side with a board of incredible women each with their own spectacular talents and serving hearts. Our club is truly special in the way that it brings our members together for fun, friendship and personal growth, all while serving the community around us.

Though bittersweet, I couldn’t be more excited for the year ahead as we welcome our new Slipper Club Board and our new President Abby Weigand! This will be Abby’s 3rd year on the board with previous roles as Membership Chair and Auction Chair. Abby is vivacious, detail oriented, determined and just downright fun, so I know she will do an incredible job leading us into another amazing year together!

I’m so thankful for all the support I received this year and friendships I’ve made in Slipper Club and I can’t wait to see what this year brings! 🤍🥂”

We love you, Laura Lynn!

A message from our Beneficiary Chair, Reagan Mason:

“Partnering with New Friends New Life this year has been a delight! The team at NFNL works with passion and creativity to restore and empower victims of sexual exploitation here in DFW. Slipper Club is grateful to be able to help NFNL continue working towards its tremendous mission. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Vanessa Barker, Bianca Davis, Priya Murphy, and Robbie Hamilton. Thank you for dedicating your lives to being a blessing to others!“
