HELD ON A cold winter night, a successful kickoff event bodes well for a busy spring social season ahead!

Steak 48 hosted a party kicking off the Men of Distinction luncheon taking place on May 4 at River Oaks Country Club. Master of ceremonies David Wuthrich welcomed 100 well-dressed power players for an evening of steak and cocktails. On the menu: Maryland style crab cakes, hash browns served with sliced New York strip and truffle butter and warm vanilla caramel cakes.

The mission of the Men of Distinction Annual Awards Luncheon is to recognize men who have distinguished themselves in biomedical research, education, and patient care in the Texas Medical Center. This year’s honorees are physician Stanley Appel, John Butler, Keith Mosing and Jim Postl. To date, the annual luncheon has raised more than $5 million dollars for a variety of programs in the Texas Medical Center.

Spa-tacular Getaway Opportunity: Retreat to Mexico this Fall with a Houston Wellness Expert

Palmaïa The House of AïA

THIS FALL, LEBRINA Jackson, owner of Escape Spa in Cypress, is taking her wisdom and joie de wellness to the jungle. Far beyond the walls of her beautiful spa, she’s aiming to create a quiet space for people to work on their personal growth in a community-centric atmosphere. She shares what participants will get out of the trip and why it’s important to take time for self-care in 2025.

Why is it important for people to “retreat”? Life can feel like a non-stop marathon, and sometimes we forget to just... breathe. Retreating offers a chance to step off the treadmill for a bit and hit the reset button. It's about giving your body and mind some much-needed TLC, allowing for genuine relaxation and rejuvenation. Beyond the personal perks, retreats often create a cool sense of community, connecting you with others on a similar path. By carving out space for self-reflection, you can recharge and return to your daily life with a clearer head and a bit more pep in your step.
