      Hibiscus Children’s Center Presents



      ‘Viva Las Vegas Casino Night’ To Benefit Children



      By Tracy Savoia
        Hibiscus Children’s Center hosted the “Viva Las Vegas
      Casino Night” on Nov. 18 at Mariner Sands Country Club
      in Stuart. This lovely affair featured incredible raffle prizes
      and a gourmet dinner followed by guests dancing the night
      away to the sounds of D.J. Brian Lemen. All proceeds directly
      benefit the abused, abandoned and neglected children living
      at the Hibiscus Shelter in Jensen Beach and will enhance
      their lives and help them heal through educational, medical
      and professional therapeutic services.
        The festivities began with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and
      then guests got the chance to roll the dice in our casino where
      they experienced all the glitz, glamour and excitement of
                                                         Event Chair Di Baker with Showgirls Joanne Caras and

       With A Tropical Twist, Pinot & Picasso A Hit




      By Jackie Holfelder
        Helping People Succeed offered a casually elegant “With a
      Tropical Twist” vibe at this year’s Pinot & Picasso fundraiser,
      which was happily embraced by the close to 200 attendees.
        Guests  were  welcomed  to  Harbour  Ridge Yacht  &
      Country Club with a delectable signature drink and the
      lively music of the Gratitude Steel Drum Band as they
      mingled with the 2023 Art for Living Calendar artists.
      As they entered, Bill “Boz” Bosley performed tropical
      favorites – and in a first for Pinot & Picasso – offered
      after-dinner dancing.
        Jenny Yingling, governing Board of Directors member,
      offered a warm welcome and introduced emcee Rob Lord.
                                                                                         Ralph Davino, Marlene Filer, Nadine and Bob Gensius, Dee and Nick Blount and
