Dinner with Chef Michael with Wine Pairings for Ten
For this wine pairing dinner, Chef Michael Strimban will prepare a delicious five-course meal of locally sourced seafood and your choice of prime cuts along with expertly prepared sides. Michael and company will select the perfect wines from their estate vineyard for each course. For this unforgettable event, Julie Clark will host ten people at her North Beach home on a date to be determined by the winning bidder and event hosts.
“Floral Mandala” by Mrs. Mansfield’s 3rd Grade Class
Paper quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create a decorative design. Mrs. Mansfield’s third graders each had their own color of paper strips that they rolled and were then shaped and put together to create a colorful, floral shaped mandala. This 22′ x 22″ framed art piece would be a beautiful addition to any home and you will easily be able to identify each child’s individual art using the guide on the back.
