<strong>March</strong> <strong>18</strong>, <strong>2015</strong> <strong>Palisades</strong> <strong>News</strong> Page 25 Fundraiser Showcases Top Fashion Lines Servicing Westside Communities from the City to the Beach BRETT DUFFY REAL ESTATE BRETT C. DUFFY Cindy Jones is in BOCA clothing. The Pacific <strong>Palisades</strong> Woman’s Club hosted its annual fashion show and luncheon on <strong>March</strong> 3. More than 120 guests watched as <strong>18</strong> models strutted down a runway in clothing provided by BOCA Man, BOCA and Vivian’s Boutique. The tradition began more than 30 years ago, as not only a way to showcase local stores and available fashions, but also as a fundraiser for the club. This year the organizing committee responsible for securing fashions, finding models and decorating the room included Nichelle Toomire, Stephanie Smith, Terri Webb, Dr. Jane George, Terri Lyman, Haldis Toppel, Roberta Donohue and Brook Dougherty. Smith crafted the ceiling floral overhangs, using flowers from her own garden, and joined with Toomire to create floral centerpieces for the tables. The normally drab yellow curtain on the stage was partially pulled to reveal a colorful backdrop hung by Smith. Once she had selected the material for the backdrop, she used that color theme to design invitations, banners and the menus tucked into the napkins. Toomire and Smith chose Taste restaurant in the Highlands to provide the food. Guests were able to select from a Mexican-style salad with chicken or a roasted vegetable salad. Wine was donated by club members. Dessert, also from Taste, included a selection mini-cupcakes, chocolate-chip cookies and brownies. Servers were from the Midnight Mission: men who are honing skills in food services. The nonprofit offers a self-sufficiency path and job opportunities to men and women who have lost everything. The Mission provides the accountability and structure that homeless individuals need to rejoin their communities. After securing a job, participants gradually move into the Midnight Mission’s Transitional Housing Center or back into the community. Palisadian Greg Alper performed on his saxophone, providing live background music. Dr. George was in charge of securing raffle items. Webb arranged and wrapped the items, aided by Phyllis Nelson, Judy Grosh, Sharon Kanan and Cathie Yonke. Guests dropped tickets into jars placed in front of the items they wanted to win; during the show, tickets were drawn and winners announced. Jean Aroeste and Donohue worked on reservations and table seating, while Woman’s Club president Lyman, Toppel and Dougherty worked behind the scenes to ensure that the event ran smoothly. In addition to the clothing, Flash Jewelry Gallery donated jewelry for models to wear. Club member Holly Surya sold jewelry in the lobby before the show. Vivian Foster, owner of Vivian’s Boutique on Via de la Paz, served as the emcee during the fashion show. Male models were Pacific <strong>Palisades</strong> Chamber of Commerce CEO Arnie Wishnick, personal trainer Rigo Manzanares (Gelson’s former wine manager), Dr. Shannon Watson and Caruso Affiliated executive Rick Lemmo. Modeling for Vivian’s and BOCA were Robin Fuchs, Jan Gentry, Ingrid Vinje, Krystyna Kaszubowski, Dr. Susan Crane, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices 881 Alma Real Drive, Suite 100 Pacific <strong>Palisades</strong>, CA 90272 (310) 230-3716 / brettduffy@bhhscal.com ©<strong>2015</strong> An Independently owned and operated franchisee of BHH Affiliates, LLC.

Bryan’s Smile Focuses On Drug Awareness When Santa Monica dentist Melanie Gullet lost her 26-year-old son Bryan to drug addiction, she formed Bryan’s Smile, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing awareness about addiction and depression. “The ‘not my child’ and the ‘not me’ attitude, along with the lack of knowledge about addiction and depression, have created a disturbing increase in deaths of America’s young,” Gullet said. “Our mission is to bring awareness and communication about what is being called an epidemic by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” On <strong>March</strong> <strong>18</strong>, April 16 and May 14, there will be programs from 6 to 9 p.m. at St. Martin of Tours, 11955 Sunset Blvd., in ATRIUM HAIR SALON Is Here to Serve You Men • Women • Kids Free Toy w/ Kid’s Cuts Walk-Ins Welcome • Senior Discount _______________________________ Voted “Best Haircut” Tues-Sat 9-5 – LA Magazine.. 860 Via de la Paz 424.272.9267 Reny Cantu wears clothing from Vivian’s. Photo: Bart Bartholomew Brentwood. Participants will follow the fate of a fictitious teen addicted to drugs, which includes arrest, jail and ultimately a funeral. Each attendee will be given a drug-abuse profile to adopt during the program, so he/she can become familiar with different addictive drugs and gateway drugs. Participants will hear from an addict in recovery, and Gullet will speak. The organizations believes that the best way to prevent substance abuse is to prevent it from happening in the first place. The program is open for youth ages 10 to 17, who must be accompanied by a parent. The event is free and advanced registration is necessary because space is limited. RSVP bryanssmile@bryanssmile.com.
