57th annual Adoption Guild Patroness Spring Luncheon

02.26.18

Anyone looking to “adopt” a worthy cause can do no better than joining the 57th annual Adoption Guild Patroness Spring Luncheon, “Celebrating Family.”  It will be held on March 2, 2018, at the Newport Beach Country Club, where 250 guests will dine together in the ballroom while watching a fashion show sponsored by Grayse, the new design house from mother/daughter duo Marie Gray and Kelly Gray.

These two Orange County icons (formerly of St. John Knits) will dress the models in the spring collection from Grayse, which puts a modern spin on luxurious separates. Of course, the fun begins much earlier, as guests enjoy a welcoming champagne reception inside and outside on the terrace overlooking the golf course, where they can check out the must-have wares of local vendors who offer jewelry, handbags, clothing, linens, and fashion accessories.

The event, which runs from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m, is always a big draw and tickets sell out early, due to the prizes offered by generous donors.

Tickets are tax-deductible: Holy Family Services (now HFS) is a state-licensed, non-denominational nonprofit 501(c)3 agency providing quality adoption services to residents of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties.

For tickets and more information, visit the website at adoptionguild.org, or contact Maria Zucht: mariazucht@yahoo.com

Newport Beach Country Club is at One Clubhouse Drive in Newport Beach.
