Rancho Santa Fe Community Center’s 32nd Annual Gala took place at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and featured a game show theme. Titled “Let the Games Begin,” the event featured a cocktail and silent auction reception, and guests had the opportunity to bid on items in the traditional way, and spun the “Wheel of Fortune” to instantly win. A portion of the live auction was offered in the form of the TV game show Deal or No Deal, in which guests competed to win packages including a one-week trip for two at Rancho La Puerta and a Cabo getaway at Pueblo Bonita. Eight local high school girls donned dresses from Malgorzata Couture that were specially made for them to wear during the game. Committee chair was Elise Molin and her committee included Alchera Ayyad, Leslie DeGoler, Stacey Feinberg, Koki Reasons, Kim Smart, and Allison Williams. Redfearn & Associates diligently incorporated various elements of nostalgic game show concepts into the party atmosphere.
