ALEXANDRA DWEK'S FRIENDS WITH CAUSES----VISTA DEL MAR EVENING









I'VE DECIDED ALEXANDRA SHOULD BE CALLED "THE HOSTESS WITH A HEART." FRIENDS WITH CAUSES IS A DINNER PARTY SHE HOSTS SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR WHERE WE ALL BRING GORGEOUS POT LUCK FOOD AND A CHECK TO GIVE TO A WONDERFUL CAUSE. REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CAUSE ARE THERE AND GIVE US AN UP-CLOSE, PERSONAL PRESENTATION SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE OUR DOLLARS ARE GOING. IT IS ALWAYS A STIMULATING AND WARM EVENING OF FRIENDSHIP AND GIVING BACK.

The latest dinner was for Vista Del Mar, a charity founded in 1908, that is still going strong. Our particular area of interest was their effort to transition their 18-year-old residents into main stream society or adult group homes. Check out the Vista Del Mar website. They do incredible work in so many areas.

The food that is brought can feed an army, and all of the massive leftovers are taken right away to My Friends' Place, a shelter for homeless teens in Hollywood.
