| Blue Ribbon Holiday Party at the Hotel Bel-Air - December 2011 |
Members enjoyed a festive good time at the newly renovated Hotel Bel-Air to celebrate the holidays. The evening featured sumptuous food from Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air including incredible treats by Executive Pastry Chef Sherry Yard and a surprise appearance by the world renowned chef de cuisine himself, Wolfgang Puck. Guests were doubly surprised when three waiters took the stage revealing themselves as talented opera singers, leaving the audience cheering with napkins waving in the air.
Co-Chairs: Lynn Booth, Joy Fein, Mary Hayley, Sandy Krause, Joan Hotchkis, Nancy Mishkin, and Carla Sands
| Jr. Sampler Series: Joffrey Ballet's The Nutcracker - Dec. 2011 |
When the Joffrey Ballet returned to the Music Center with the timeless Nutcracker, Blue Ribbon knew it had to be a part of it. The group was overjoyed to sponsor the Saturday matinee performance of the must-see holiday classic. Members and their families enjoyed a pre-performance brunch at Kendall's Brasserie and were thrilled by a special appearance by two Joffrey ballerinas, April Daly and Christine Rocas, who visited and took pictures with all of the guests. One lucky guest went home with a signed Nutcracker poster.
Chair: Betsy Applebaum and Carole Curb Nemoy
