Preceding Monday’s Holidays on a High Note luncheon event will be a Jazzy Preview Party on Sunday, October 14th from 6:00 PM-9:00 PM also at the Menlo Circus Club. Co-hosted by Family Service’s Foothill and Valley Auxiliaries with Jennifer Pollack and Betty Ann Reinhardt as co-chairs, and featuring a 1920’s theme, partygoers will be treated to advance peeks at the Holidays on a High Note floral and table displays, a cocktail buffet, silent auction of fabulous goodies including a five-night trip to the Four Seasons Hualalai in Hawaii, and wine tastings courtesy of Burrell School Vineyards & Winery, Fernwood Cellars, Ridge Vineyards, and Sarah’s Vineyards, as well as other Northern California vineyards. Live jazz music will be provided by Jim Pollack & Friends, featuring Chuck Huggins. Advance reservations are required. Tickets to Sunday’s Jazzy Preview Party are $125.00 per person, with a $15.00 discount for guests purchasing tickets to both events.
All proceeds from ticket sales, auctions, and 20% of boutique sales benefit Family Service, a San Mateo non-profit dedicated to helping improve the lives of struggling children, families and seniors on the Peninsula.
Throughout the pre-holiday Holidays on a High Note extravaganza, numerous Peninsula-based businesses will showcase their specialties including local favorites including Devoy Designs of Atherton, Pomegranate Events and Floral Design of Woodside, and many more. Beringer Vineyards and Southern Wine & Spirits of Northern California will provide wine for the luncheon, while longtime supporter See’s Candies will delight guests with their delectable chocolates.
Co-chaired by Foothill Auxiliary members Kris Forbes and Andi Mallinckrodt, Holidays on a High Note will feature approximately 25 tables showcasing extraordinary holiday home entertaining ideas and floral arrangements, some up for auction. Last year, the popular fundraiser raised $20,000 for Family Service with approximately 250 attendees. This special 10th anniversary year marks the return of the Jazzy Preview Party.
