Hot Light, Hot Night
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There was an air of mystery surrounding the recent Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation event.
Guests were to be picked up from their homes and squired around town by limo. First stop, Nan for appetizers. Then on to the Palm for dinner.
The location for dessert: Top secret!
So here’s the hot scoop: the Krispy Kreme on Ponce was the final dining destination.
The evening raised more than $17,000 for children with Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. More than 50 people turned out for the inventive fundraiser, including Charlene and Richard Carl, Deb Neff and Iris and Louie Shemaria.
Ladies, let’s lunch
EnAble of Georgia, which works with adults with developmental disabilities, has a fun event coming up.
The “Phantom of the Fashion Show” fundraiser is set for Sept. 7 at the Atlanta Athletic Club. Registration starts at 11 a.m. and the event features lunch, a fashion show and a raffle drawing for two business-class tickets to NYC, a two-night stay at InterContinental The Barclay New York, and Broadway tickets.
Lunch will feature salad, honey-pecan chicken and — this is reason enough to go — a luscious concoction involving a white chocolate “Phantom” mask for dessert.
