Appreciation
THE GRATEFUL TABLE
CPD invites all members of The Circle to join us for a special member appreciation dinner in November at the Dallas Country Club. “The Grateful Table” celebrates the legacy of brighter futures created through The Circle and features local Dallas business and philanthropic leaders. Past speakers include Dr. R. Gerald Turner, Carl Sewell and Cullum Clark.
Our 2026 Grateful Table featured Mike Rawlings, former mayor of Dallas, in conversation with his son, Gunnar Rawlings.
