If you were at Marbella Country Club in San Juan Capistrano on Nov. 5, you would have found over 100 ladies enjoying an evening of fine wine, live piano music, and much more. The occasion? Yet another successful event hosted by the Orange County chapter of The Charitable Foundation.
“The Third Annual Ladies Night Out was a huge success!” – Chris Perko, Orange County Chapter Board Chair, The Charitable Foundation
Attendees spent the evening in the company of other local women, who came together for a fun and meaningful experience. In addition to the Italian buffet, MAC makeup demonstrations, jewelry vendors Sky Diamonds and Stella and Dot, silent auction, and lively raffle, the ladies all had a part in raising $12,000 for local nonprofits and charities.

The inaugural Rancho Santa Fe Garden Fair & Market was a blooming success thanks to some nurturing from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. Our company was title sponsor of the Oct. 17 event honoring the Balboa Park Centennial.
The 100-year anniversary salute featured free landscape consulting, plant and garden gift sales, irrigation district rebates, horticulture presentations, children’s activities, a photo booth, and food trucks with refreshments available for purchase. Special guest presenter Thomas Herrera-Mishler, executive director of the Balboa Park Conservancy, gave a talk on the park’s efforts to incorporate sustainable landscaping techniques.
“Our company and agents recognize how much value the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Fair & Market brings to horticulture and conservation efforts in their community. It was our pleasure to help ensure the success of this much-appreciated event,” said David M. Cabot, our President and CEO.
“Our agents and staff strive to be involved members of the neighborhoods where they live and work. This event is another way we support our community.”
The free event organized by the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club was held at the Rancho Santa Fe Association/Community Center.
