Wedding bells soon will be ringing for St. Louis native and model Devon Windsor, a 2012 MICDS grad. She’s engaged to longtime boyfriend Johnny Dex, who popped the question last year by writing ‘Marry Me?’ on the sand of a private beach so his girlfriend would see it as she landed in the Bahamas. Windsor has worked for a number of major beauty and fashion brands, including Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, Max Mara Studio and H&M. T&S photographer Suzy Gorman helped launch her modeling career in 2008 when she was 14. She is the daughter of Charles and Lisa Windsor of Ladue.
Each year, the Performing Arts Center at John Burroughs School is filled with joyous music during Sing for Siteman, a benefit for Siteman Cancer Center. This year’s 10th anniversary event, held March 29, will feature guest host and Grammy Award-winning soprano Christine Brewer; vocalists Teresa Castillo, Edward Graves, Rehanna Thelwell and Robert Mellon; and pianist Timothy Cheung. Ticket information is available at singforsiteman.org/2019.
Congratulations are in order for Russell Kingsland, recently named chief operating officer and general manager at Racquet Club Ladue. The Chicago native most recently served in the same capacity at Sunset Country Club, and he has worked for clubs in North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as in the restaurant industry.
Nutritious food is good medicine, and that’s the idea behind a new food prescription program at Operation Food Search. Fresh Rx-Nourishing Healthy Starts is designed to prevent food insecurity during pregnancy and help low-income families have healthy babies. Participants receive locally produced foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy, plus nutrition advice, invitations to cooking classes and other services. The program is supported in part by a Monsanto Fund grant.
