Les Dames Seattle

For years, Lisa Dupar has been proud to be apart of the Les Dames: a world wide philanthropic society of professional women leaders in the fields of food, fine beverage and hospitality.
We are excited to announce that the 2010 Les Dames fundraiser is quickly approaching! La Dolce Vita: Celebrating the Essence of Italy, will be taking place Thursday, February 25 at the Women’s University Club starting at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are priced at $95 per person and the evening will feature a mouthwatering Italian-inspired antipasti feast provided by CafĂ© Juanita, Cicchetti Kitchen and Bar, Dupar & Company, Gelatiamo, Macrina Bakery, and Salumi, with Italian style grappa by Soft Tail Spirits.
We are lucky enough to have the delightful Anne Robichaud flying in to join us who will give an insightful and humor-filled presentation (we promise she will have you smiling if not out-right giggling!) on Italian culture.
And last, but certainly not least, will be the silent auction of handmade Italian ceramics from Umbria, which are quite simply - amazingly gorgeous!
The proceeds from this event will benefit our scholarship and community out-reach programs of which our Seattle chapter is justifiable so proud of.
As of today we have only sold 12 tickets. We need your support – if every member sells or purchases just two tickets, we will have a success we all can be proud of. The purchase of a table would be fantastic. PLEASE HELP and order your tickets right away. Tickets can be bought on-line at http://lesdamesseattle.maestroweb.com or call (206) 276-5527 for more information
