Wally's Annual Grande Marque Champagne Tasting 

The #1 wine and food event of the year, with over 50 Grande Marques champagnes poured and signature dishes served from nearly 20 of Southern California's best restaurants.   The lovely courtyard and ballroom of Santa Monica's Le Merigot Hotel provided the forum for 2007's, 15th Annual Grande Marque Champagne Tasting.  It certainly was a spectacular evening.

Proceeds went to 3 organizations including Madisons Foundation. Fantastico!!

NORDSTROM TILE PAINTING

On Saturday, February 11, 2006, children from the  San Fernando community painted floor tiles for the Kids' Wear department of the new Nordstrom Topanga store.   

200 participating children ages 5-12 handpainted vivid, whimsical tiles that were permanently installed throughout the aisles connecting the boys, girls and infants departments of the new Nordstrom store.  Each child created a miniature work of art with a "sea-life" theme in a palette of vibrant colors and personalized it with his or her name and age.  Tile artist Charlie Bigger will give lessons in painting with glazes on tiles.  The festivities took place from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Kirk o' The Valley School in Reseda, Calif.
