The Women’s Auxiliary of Seacrest Village Retirement Communities presents its 33rd Annual Gala, “Champagne on Ice,” on Saturday, February 5, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
 
Event chair Jane Ottenstein, along with Women’s Auxiliary President Mary Epsten, is pleased to lead this year’s event committee as they present an evening of dining, dancing, and a spectacular presentation on ice. All proceeds from the event will be directed towards the Resident Assistance Fund at Seacrest Village to help raise the approximately $1.5 million needed in charitable care each year.
 
This extraordinary affair will feature a delicious dinner, live auction, gourmet dessert, and coffee bar followed by an all-new, custom-created show produced by Seaside Ice, LLC. The special event production will include a fantastic cast of seven professional ice skaters, including international star Marina Karamysheva, grand prix competitor Michael Villareal, star of Legends on Ice Aimee Micu, and featured performers Ellicia Shephard and Mike Modro.   
 
The 25-minute production will celebrate the beauty and pleasures of the winter season, featuring solo and ensemble creations in a variety of musical styles, accompanied by theatrically composed lighting and multimedia projections.   
 
Each year Seacrest Village Retirement Communities serves nearly 400 seniors between the Encinitas and Rancho Bernardo campuses. For more than 40 years, the Women’s Auxiliary has aided Seacrest Village in its ongoing commitment to provide the highest quality of care in a warm and dignified environment for older adults in our community, regardless of their ability to pay.
