Darlings, this whole week, I am turning Irish in honor of St Patrick's Day.
Before I share with you all the exciting events that attended and enjoyed and the ones to come, I want to express my deepest condolences to the family of Interior Designer and old-time friend of mine, Chet Pourciau, who sadly passed away at age 44. The artist/social community will miss his talent, enthusiasm and beautiful smile. Read more about him here:http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2015/03/chet_pourciau_an_interior_know.html
Darlings, once again I wished a had a clone or could be younger to attend all the fun events that were going on in my beloved New Orleans. Among those that I attended were the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Networking Night at the JW Marriott. As always it was fun seeing fellow business owners and community leaders networking and enjoying great food and delicious cocktails.
That night it was also the Grand Opening of Le Meridian Hotel where the W Hotel on Poydras Street used to be. It was fabulous and the champagne and cocktails were flowing freely but, since I was driving, I left early. That morning I had been invited to meet and experience talented Chef Johnny Iuzzini's signature eclair in preparation for the Grand Opening Gala and I am still savoring it.https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152571371260870.1073742420.581200869&type=1&l=ffc173abda
On Friday, I was swept away by the passion and romance of the Tango in the Twilight & Tango Soiree. Surrounded by the majestic columns of the Federal Ballroom, a beautiful venue in the Security Center on Carondelet Street, the evening featured a custom-designed Argentine menu, open bar, drawings for fabulous prizes and tango demonstrations by local celebrities. All proceeds from the Tango Soiree benefited the extraordinary programs and services of the New Orleans Ballet Association that make such a difference in this community.https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152573482445870.1073742421.581200869&type=1&l=ce9f7f975f
Green was everywhere last Saturday as we “Painted the Town Green” to benefit Raintree Children and Family Services. The patron party was at Ruth's Chris Steak House and the Gala was at the Harrah's Theater. Music was by The Yat Pack, one of my favorite bands. I always enjoy this fun party for great cause.https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152576456125870.1073742422.581200869&type=1&l=5366f10bf8
On Sunday, I donned my Easter finery and, gratefully, Mother Nature blessed us with a glorious sunny day to enjoy the beautiful setting at the Opera Guild Home for the Patron Party of the Mad Hatter’s Luncheon.

PELICANS HOST ANNUAL TOAST FOR THE COAST EVENT
TO RAISE FUNDS FOR COASTAL RESTORATION
Event to give fans the opportunity to spend time with Pelicans players including
All-Star forward Anthony Davis
The New Orleans Pelicans will host their annual fundraising event Toast for the Coast presented by Fox Sports New Orleans, Chevron and Cox Communications on Friday, March 13 at 7:00 p.m. at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas (1 Canal St., New Orleans). All proceeds from Toast for the Coast will support coastal restoration education and research. Fans can visit Pelicans.com/ToastfortheCoast for tickets and additional information.
“The most important aspect of our partnership with the Audubon Nature Institute is educating our local youth on the importance of coastal restoration and actions they can take now, and in the future, to make sure our coast is thriving for generations to come,” said Pelicans Owner Tom Benson. “We’re excited to invite our fans to Toast for the Coast not only to support the future of our City and Region, but to spend time with our players and coaches and have the opportunity to interact with them.”
As the team continues to focus on being a community leader in the preservation of the Gulf Coast, the Pelicans will invite fans to join them in supporting their mission, as well as spend time mingling and interacting with their favorite local NBA stars. The evening will be an intimate party as guests mingle and enjoy a performance from Robin Barnes with the Aquarium’s captivating exhibits as the background. The party will include hors d'oeuvres, cocktails and a silent auction.
Throughout the year, the Pelicans are focused on initiatives and programs that enrich schools and communities in the Gulf South promoting literacy and leadership, advocating healthy and active lifestyles and increasing awareness and funding research to preserve the health and vitality of our coastal wetlands. The funds raised at this “Toast for the Coast” will benefit the Audubon Institute and its research on the actions needed to save the coastline for generations to come–and the animals that call the Wetlands home, including the brown pelican.
The Pelicans and Audubon have partnered to increase awareness and educational opportunities regarding the preservation of the coastline. With a primary focus on education, the Pelicans will work with Audubon to execute an outreach program that visits schools and festivals with Audubon’s Wetlands Express and AquaVan to give students the opportunity to learn about coastal restoration in a fun and engaging manner.

Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts
Presents One of New Orleans' Favorite Shows -
Ricky Graham's When Ya Smilin'
(February 9, 2015 - Kenner LA)-When Ya Smilin', Ricky Graham's heart-warming, comedic love letter about growing up in New Orleans in the 1950s, will hit the Main Stage March 13 at Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts and run through March 28.
As seen through the eyes of the precocious 10-year-old Paulie Dufour, When Ya Smilin' recounts a year in the life of a Ninth Ward family. Anyone who grew up in New Orleans will grin a nostalgic smile from remembrances of Pontchartrain Beach, Mardi Gras with Mel Levitt, and picnics in City Park. When Ya Smilin' strikes that harmonious chord of common humanity that will not only make the locals laugh and cry, but those who now call New Orleans home as well. When Ya Smilin' won the 2001 Big Easy
