Another Holiday Party

Being part of a select group of some of the most talented and accomplished women in Malibu is a privilege.  It has been organized for more than 40 years, making the Malibu Woman's Club the oldest club.  Always looking forward to raising funds to benefit student scholarships, the Christmas event benefits pediatric patients at a local hospital.  Our giving members traditionally host the luncheon in a private residence.

The Lourdes Chavez Collection

Seeing these fashions by Lourdes Chavez was a major part of this beautiful day benefiting the Mendez National Institute of Transplantation Foundation.  The fundraiser was to advance groundbreaking and incremental research, community education and outreach programs.  There are more than 122,000 patients who need help today, so being a small part of this event was rewarding.

A Memorable Day

Salad in a Martini Glass

Could it be more elegant?  Lunch began with a salad in a martini glass.  Or menu listed it as "first course---Chilled Green

Gazpacho with Maine Lobster Salad."  ...lightly succulent!  www.fourseasons.com/losangeles/

Fashion Show

The 33rd annual scholarship fashion show, benefiting scholarships for students at the Otis College of Art and Design, was held on May 2, 2015, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.  

As a member of a group that has, for the past 40 years, raised funds for that same goal, I was privileged to attend the dress rehearsal.  Following are some of the many designs by the graduating students who have been mentored by such distinguished designers as:  Bob Mackie, Trina Turk, Morgane Le Fay, Anne Cole, Quicksilver, etc.  

 

  

Being With My Philanthropic Friends

Being with my philanthropic friends is always a pleasure.  The oldest organization in Malibu has honored countless students in the 5th grade and those going off to college.  Their accomplishments have been plenty and some have indicated that the recognition was a large encouragement.  

Thanks to Casa Escobar for the VIP treatment. http://la.eater.com/2014/1/29/6291347/casa-escobar-back-in-malibu-now-at-the-malibu-inn#4164770
