Animal lovers donned their disco duds for the 14th annual Paws Gala, benefiting the Galveston Island Humane Society, on Sept. 27 at the Galveston Island Convention Center at the San Luis Resort. In addition to raising much-needed funds for the humane society, the event, themed “Disco Paws: Staying Alive,” featured dinner, open bar, dancing to the sounds of Level One and a live auction. GIHS paid tribute to Gene Hornstein, who, in addition to being a 19-year volunteer to the organization, also has held numerous offices, including treasurer and board member.
