It was a night of champagne, jazz, caviar, all with a Breakfast at Tiffany’s vibe that set the stage for Athenaeum’s premiere gala, “Diamonds, Jazz and Dreams” on May 9th.
The gala was replete with fabulous fare from Giuseppe Fine Catering, who served up the farm and ocean fresh courses they have become known for. As guests noshed on exquisite food, Ashley Anne and the Carnationsgot the dance vibes flowing with their signature jazz and swing tunes.
It was an evening of fun and folly for a very grounded community cause.
Proceeds help fund the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library’s very popular programs, including fine art classes, concerts, and art exhibitions amidst its library collection.
Don’t delay, check out this La Jolla treasure!
