On Saturday, December 6, 2025, the Ladies of the Shield hosted the annual Holiday Home Tour. This year's "Gallo Family Tour" featured homes in Lake Vista.
Thank you to our generous hosts, sponsors, members, Alumni, parents, and friends.
The Patron Party was held at the home of Jeanne and David Gallo '77, where guests enjoyed delicious food and desserts from local restaurants, served by our very own Culinary Crusaders. Guests toured all of the beautifully decorated homes while sipping on festive cocktails and getting into the Christmas spirit.
