This past weekend I went to a kick-off party for the Palm Springs Equality Awards. The Equality Awards Gala, held annually in October- will benefit the non-profit EQCA (Equality California) organization. This event was to shore up support of key individuals to commit to buy a table at the October Awards Gala. The party was held at a beautiful private home in the Mesa neighborhood in Palm Springs. The contemporary two level house was situated in the foothills with a fantastic view of the Palm Springs. (Photo above: On the balcony with Palm Springs artist Kimberly Nichols, whose work I featured on this past Sunday Art Review). Here are two other great views from the balcony:
above: just off to the right is the home of Barry Manilow
above: just in the distance is the home of Suzanne Somers.
above & below: guests filled the house and listened to presentations about the EQCA mission.
Then a sweet finale...
above: Lovely parting gifts: a black velvet bag filled with gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins. I was happy to attend and support this worthy organization, and it was a perfect way to spend a lovely Saturday afternoon.
