East Bay Chapter: Art, Wine and Women Event

7/19/2016 | Walnut Creek, CA

It’s hard to imagine a more perfect evening. We started with a guided tour of FLUX, an exhibit at the Bedford Gallery imagined and constructed specifically for the gallery. Using scale and bold colors Crystal Wagner transforms everyday materials to create a surreal environment.

We then enjoyed a short walk through downtown Walnut Creek to the We Olive and Wine Bar. We enjoyed samplings of local wines, flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars.

We Olive prepared appetizers made to highlight the flavors of their oils and vinegars. To top it off they offered a 10% discount on all purchases. Who could resist?

During the event we were able to partner with “Sparkle” Foundation Inc. A women helping women organization Sparkle supports women needing help to support their families. Event participants donated 4 bags of school supplies and a jar full of cash donations. Everyone was a winner.

There was lots of time for networking and socializing with a good mix of members and non-members with lots of interest in the good work done by FWSF.

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend for your support.
