Hosts Sought For Dinners Across Laguna

 

Ilene Glassman is calling on local hosts to open their homes and address books for the 17th annual Dinners Across Laguna benefit, where guests attend private dinner parties to support Friendship Shelter programs.

Over 500 guests at 25 events are expected through April, so that everyone who wants to host or attend can participate.

All events are hosted and underwritten by hosts who care enough about the plight of the homeless to open their own homes to help make a difference. A highlight of each event is the opportunity to learn first-hand how funds raised help to rebuild lives. Guests are treated to a short presentation by a current resident or graduate, who candidly tells their personal story and inspires listeners with their message.

To schedule or attend a dinner, go to www.friendshipshelter.org or call Taylor at 949.494.6928.
