Proceeds will benefit The Country Friends’ 2012 selected charities including Burn Institute of San Diego, Center for Community Solutions, Freedom Stations, PCI San Diego, YWCA, and many more. After the luncheon on the lawn, the Art of Fashion Runway Show will highlight fashions from the 2012 fall/winter collections of Brunello Cucinelli, Canali, Max Mara, Emilio Pucci, Saks Fifth Avenue, to name a few. The event concludes with the “Apres Affaire” wine tasting. Karen Hoehn is event chair; Suzanne Newman is co-chair. (858/756-1192, ext. 4, www.thecountryfriends.org)
