Join us on January 22, 2011 for the Celebration of Love and Joy, a party and auction supporting the Joy Nordenstrom Medical Fund.  That’s THIS SATURDAY NIGHT at The beautiful Payne Mansion, 1409 Sutter Street in San Francisco, CA 8p – 11:30p

How many times do we attend fundraiser where we have no idea who will benefit and when?  Attendees can …dance, shop and celebrate with JOY!

Joy Nordenstrom, a local entrepreneur and owner of Joy of Romance, Inc., has several medical challenges this year, including a brain tumor that required a life-altering 10-hour surgery. Happy to be on the other side of the stress of 2010, Joy has survived and after three months of recouping she will be ready to celebrate her physical ability to smile, an ability that was threatened by the removal of the tumor. In the business of helping individuals create passionate and thriving relationships, Joy works to make the world a more loving place. She is now asking for the love and support of her friends and colleagues to tackle some looming medical expenses.  To buy tickets or make donations, please click here for advance tickets or to make donations. Tickets will also be available Saturday Night at the door of the Payne Mansion.

There was magic inside AT&T Park for The Giants in the 2010 season to carry San Francisco to it’s first World Series championship, and there’s been magic inside the white, ten story big-top tent across China Basin throughout the Holiday season with this spectacular show.  Created by co-founder of Cirque Du Solei, Normand Latourelle, this elaborately staged fantasy outdoes it’s legendary predecessor in focusing specifically on the relationship between man and horse without overwhelming the senses with too much action to take in all at once.   The description of  “dream-like” is not hyperbole.  The virtual settings captivate and transport you.  The horses interplay with the riders, acrobats, aerialists and each other in truly enchanting ways.  Was fortunate to have caught the show last Thursday night and was captivated by the staging, the music and the talented cast on two and four legs.  There is an added performance tonight at 7pm and Monday at 8pm, with the final show on Tuesday January 4th at 8pm.  The next stop is Burbank.  For more information and to purchase tickets and VIP Packages, visit cavalia.net or call 1-866-999-8111.
