Spring Fundraiser Dinner and Auction to Benefit Walden School
May 18, 2013 / 6:00 - 11:00 p.m.

Noor - Sofia Ballroom
260 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, CA 91101 Map

This evening, experience the effervescence and exuberance of the 1920s in the City of Light at the 2013 Parent Guild’s “Midnight in Paris” dinner auction to benefit Walden School.

Attentive butlers will be tempting your taste buds with some of Noor’s amazing Hor d-oeuvres, such as Gourmet Fried Chicken & Waffles with organic maple syrup, Chicken Potstickers with sweet chili sauce and Mozzarella Caprese, served on a skewer, just to name a few. We will then luxuriate in the magnificent Sofia Ballroom initiating our dinner with mixed baby greens, followed by entrees of Grilled Salmon Fillet with teriyaki sauce, Fire Roasted Chicken Breast and Vegan Penne Mediterranean Pasta. Try one, or sample all three! Your dining experience will conclude with fabulous crepes, especially made to your individual preference along and a selection of desserts by Sweet Lady J.

It is our honor to recognize Toby Hayward, an alumni parent, former Board President, and long-time friend of Walden, who  supported the school at a crucial juncture and literally built the current Walden campus. We come here this evening as current parents, alumni families, community supporters, faculty, and staff to show our appreciation and to celebrate our school.

Channel a little bit of Josephine Baker, Cole Porter, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Enjoy a cocktail and the gourmet dinner, raise your hand high at the live auction, dance the night away, and—above all—have a “swell” time!

Cheers!
