No Tie amps it up
No Tie puts the fun in fundraising After two years hiatus and a scaled back event, No Tie Dinner returns to full force DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Don Maison, who served as CEO of AIDS Services Dallas until his retirement in 2019, was pissed.
Now, great things happened when Don got ticked off. And that was the beginning of No Tie Dinner. Maison was pissed at Black Tie Dinner.
Even when his organization was chosen as a beneficiary, he was pissed at Black Tie Dinner. But the years when he wasn’t chosen or Maison decided not to apply, he was especially pissed.
As Maison saw it, the time and work it would have taken him to qualify as a Black Tie beneficiary would be better spent working to keep his clients alive while keeping ASD’s mortgages paid and the doors open.
