and co-trustee of the Bobrow Trust. “Organizations tell us budgets are especially strained by mid-year, so our donations are vital for their operations.” Donations this week included $75,000 each to AIN and Legacy Cares, $50,000 each to AIDS Services of Dallas and Taste of Hope, $27,500 to the Family Place, $10,000 to DFW Sisters and then $5,000, via the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Dallas to CASA Summer Camp Project. “Our year continues with donations throughout, and we always try to ensure a Merry Christmas,” Meissner continued. “As an example, later in 2023 we donated $25,000 to the Greater Oak Lawn Committee to ensure maintenance at the Legacy of Love Monument, located at Oak Lawn Avenue and Cedar Springs Road, for the next five years, and we donated an initial $25,000 to the Family Place.
