t was an elegant evening of wine, food and music at The Depot Off Main for the inaugural
Alveta Houston Hawk Wine and Food Festival. The event raised money for the Hawk-
Houston Boys & Girls Club but also honored its founder, the late Alveta Houston Hawk.
Mrs. Alveta was an educator and successful Dothan business woman. The club has enriched the
lives of Dothan children since 1964.
The proceeds raised at the festival through ticket sales and the silent auction will help fund
the many programs offered at the club. The Hawk – Houston Boys & Girls Club assists in
both education and career development. They also have programs geared toward leadership
development, life skills and fitness.
Event-goers enjoyed the sounds of the 2-2-5 Uptown Band while they sampled various wines
and dined on delicious hors d’oeuvres prepared by Pepi Food Services. The event would not have
been a success without the dedication of Altha Newman, the club’s CEO, and Board President
Denise Newby. The Alveta Houston Hawk Wine and Food Festival was a great evening for a
great cause.
