Benefit Liaison
Vikki Sung
We are changing things up this year on the Benefit Committee. As you might have heard, we are operating under a Leadership Team instead of a single Benefit Chair. Putting on a Showcase House is a a complicated endeavor and quite a lot for one person to handle--it really takes a village! While I am honored to represent the Leadership Team as the Liaison to the Board, it's along with these fine members that we will take Showcase House to the next level this year. Please click here to see each of our areas of responsibility.

Great News!
We have found a House! You should have already received the Designer Walk Thru invitation through Constant Contact, but if you didn't, please reach out here to let us know. We hope you can join us. We only ask that you PLEASE DON'T POST about the House until our official public announcement on November 10.
Stratton Manor
Anchoring a historic Greene & Greene-planned neighborhood of century-old homes in South Pasadena, this stately English Tudor Revival-style mansion was built in 1905 and was a treasured home in the same family for over 70 years. The home boasts grand rooms and intriguing period details, including stained glass windows, decorative beamed ceilings, stunning floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, and a ballroom staircase. The estate features a natural gulch, mature oaks, and native plantings throughout its sprawling 1.3 acreage.

Membership

24 More Helping Hands!
Last month we told you about six new members. Since then four more members have been added to our happy group. New Members just approved by the Board include Ani Kenderian, Karen Cooper-Mathews, Bobbie Nanser, and Linda Stauffer. As an added bonus, we have welcomed back Susan Daschel as an Active Member and Holly Shearer as an Associate.
I’ll name our prior six, too, to make sure you all note names and shake a hand to welcome them at Designer Walk Through and our November 10 General Meeting: Cindy Bengtson, Lela Bissner, Dominique Hargreaves, Julia Kerr, Bernadine Robinson and Gliselda Wichairud!
What brought them in? Mostly you did! Several of these ladies are referrals from our existing members who encouraged their friends to help share and spread the joy of music. We are very thankful to Lela Bissner (A Provy!), Jan Emamian, Lynne Graves, Mary Jarrett, Marybeth Rehman-Dittu, Colleen Robertson, and Barbara Washington.
But wait: We are accepting more! Membership is open until December 31, so there is still time to talk to friends about THE HOUSE and all we do together in the House, as well as in the music and performing arts community. Please send any referrals to me (dotty.ewing@gmail.com) and I will happily work with you to meet and invite your friends.
Our next New Member Reception is Thursday, October 18, right after the Benefit Meeting. New member prospects (and we have a few “live" ones now!) are invited to join us as the meeting ends and the food begins. At that time we will have a presentation for potential members, and anyone who wants to take part or support is welcome to stay. Please circulate and welcome these newcomers to encourage their joining and becoming another set of Helping Hands!
All Members! Be sure an attend our Holiday Shopping Event, on Saturday, November 13 in Sierra Madre. Three shops--Lenora Moss, Attitudes, and Savor the Flavor--are graciously donating 10% of sales from all Pasadena Showcase members, friends, and family, who buy that day from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Be sure to reserve your spot at the Savor the Flavor reception that starts at 6:00 pm with me at dotty.ewing@gmail,com. Attitudes will require presentation of a coupon, so click on the coupon to print and present to Attitudes.

Hospitality
Analily Park
Hello dear Members,
A huge thank you to all of you who have rolled up your sleeves to assisting with set up, clean up, and carrying bins away, after any of our meeting/events!
The Hospitality committee has been busy, alongside with our President, exploring potential Meeting venues. We have received few leads from some of our amazing members, and for that we are grateful. Please know that we follow up on leads, on daily basis. So, stay tuned for upcoming report from Walk Throughs
Hospitality to the Board has been invited to join forces with the 2022 Benefit Hospitality mavens, which made total sense to say YES, to! Lots of fun-work and planning a whirlwind of ideas and projects that will bring Membership and Benefit meetings to merge, starting in 2022.
To finalize, we have assisted in procuring an element to keep us engaged towards our year long goals-fundraising in benefit of music opportunities to youth. Consider it a real TREAT, and EYE CANDY in one, a link to our main goal! The Founder’s Room has been procured and secured to hold our Membership Luncheon, on NOVEMBER 10th , at the Walt Disney Concert Hall! Our President Marti Farley has used her broad network connections to have LA Phil CEO Chad Smith as our Guest Speaker for this event. Please, be ready to present proof of vaccination.
