Blooming Affaire 2009
A Table Setting & Design Event
June 5th & 6th, 2009
The Rotunda at Hayward City Hall
The Chabot College Foundation hosted its Fifth Annual “A Blooming
Affaire, Tour of Tables and Design”, a fundraiser to support
nursing, interior design and fine arts education in the East Bay. Scheduled
for June 5th and 6th, the event organizers were delighted to present a
weekend of spectacular colors, fabrics, flowers and table top designs
reflecting the glamorous theme of Hollywood. It was a phenomenal
success capturing the essence of Hollywood with elegance and pizzazz while
creating important visibility for Chabot College programs.
Featured speaker was Emmy winning producer, entertainment
reporter and film critic, Jan Wahl. Jan has been featured on KRON-TV, KCBS Radio (740 AM), and in the
San Francisco Examiner and San Francisco Independent. She shared the
inside scoop on Hollywood, celebrities, film lore and history in her
hilarious, Mae West-ish delivery. Guests were treated to a gourmet box
lunch on exquisite table settings while enjoying the presentation.
We proudly honored the recipients of the Gladiator Award,
Horatio’s Restaurant and Stuart Rental Company. This
tradition recognizes businesses and individuals who have a connection with
Chabot College and have also had a dynamic impact on the surrounding
communities. Horatio’s Restaurant
and Stuart Rental Company
have donated a total of more than $20,000 in product and services over the
past five years. Their generosity has allowed us to present spectacular
fund-raising events and ensure student success through the monies generated.
Thank you to all our sponsors and donors who made
A Blooming Affaire a "blooming success"! We
hope that you will join us again next year as we go "Around the
World".
