Vine & Dine co-chairs Maggie Kipp and Melinda Knowles kicked off the 12th Annual Vine & Dine festivities at the picturesque Highland Park estate of Rosser Newton on Aug. 27. Guests enjoyed a respite from the August heat in the enchanting English-style gardens, enjoying Bubble Tap Dallas and fine wines from Ben E. Keith Company.

The kick-off party also included Steve Kemble, America’s Sassiest Lifestyle Guru, who encouraged everyone to visit Ability Connection and learn more about the nonprofit’s commitment to daily serving more than 700 individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. With approximately 100 guests in attendance, Kipp and Knowles introduced DeeDee and Jim Lee, the event’s honorees, applauding them for their longstanding service dating back to 1986.
