The Gala Experience
Meet President Patterson
Guests had the opportunity to meet Ana Patterson, Southwestern Adventist University's new president. Students shared heart-warming stories as they expressed appreciation to sponsors and donors.
Experience The Ashton Depot
The Ashton Depot, a train station opened in 1899, has witnessed and contributed to over a century of Texas memories. The terminal has now been restored to its original beauty and distinctiveness. Its stained glass windows, barrel-vaulted ceilings, and marble floors are stunning. Now a full service event venue, The Ashton Depot boasts a creative and talented culinary and service team led by Executive Chef Cesar Gallegos, who crafted a delicious menu.
Enjoy High Quality Entertainment
Our Department of Music entertained us with jazz hits that took us back in time to the golden age of rail travel. The Plaza Theatre Company presented highlights from their upcoming show “Smoke on the Mountain.”
