AASHLA Hosts Annual Tapas Themed Fundraiser

I enjoyed a spectacular evening in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 21, 2014 when the Alumnae of the Sacred Heart of Los Angeles (AASHLA) hosted their annual fundraiser at the home of Kathy and Monte Purcelli.  

Jill Buyan, President of the AASHLA and I arrived early to help Kathy transform her backyard into a festive and fun place to enjoy the Tapas themed party.  Kathy and Monte Purcelli were such gracious hosts and Kathy is an amazing cook too! The entire Tapas themed dinner menu was prepared by her!  

Besides the delicious food that Kathy prepared, Suzanne Branchflower organized a raffle which many alums had contributed various items to.  Additionally, custom designed jewelry featuring our beautiful Mater was on display and available for sale.  

By the way, if you are planning on attending the AMASC Congress in Arizona (November 6-9, 2014) you will see the beautiful necklaces, earrings and barrettes available for sale at the Le Marché Du Sacré Coeur.  

This was surely a wonderful evening filled with Sacred Heart friendship, great food and lots of fun!
