Don't miss out on next year's dinner! This year sold out fast!
The New Bohemian Nights Fundraiser was a huge success! It sold out quickly and we raised over $10,000 for the Weston Scholarship! Sign up for our newsletter today and you will be the first to know of next year's Weston Scholarship's Fundraiser Dinner date! THANK YOU to all that donated and were able to come to the event and THANK YOU to all that donated and couldn't make it to the dinner! We are so thankful for your support!
Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to spend an evening at Wildcat Hill eating delicious gourmet food, drinking fine estate wines from one of the best wineries in central California, Pisoni Vineyards & Winery, viewing 4 Generations of Weston Photography, listening to Elliott Ruchowitz-Roberts reading Edward Weston's own words from his daybooks on the same patio where he lived for 20 years with Charis Wilson Weston his last wife! Listen to the poetry of local Robinson Jeffers like you have never heard it before! Then participate in a photography raffle and go home with a fine art black and white photograph! This year's photographers where: Kim Weston, Roman Loranc, Chuck Davis and 2013 Scholarship Winner, Christina Lehman.
The evening was magical starting with appetizers on the patio with Pisoni Estate wines. We then moved into the gallery where Kim and Zach shared 4 generations of Weston Photography. While our guests were in the gallery, the house was transformed into a formal dining room, 2 long tables set with Blue Willow china for 30 guests. Chef Christophe Bony and Devon Moore worked non-stop to create a meal to satisfy a king and queen. To see the 2 of them work flawlessly in our kitchen - one counter top, sink and stove, we were all amazed at their ability and the delicious meal they created. The evening went on and on. We had a great time. Thanks again to Christophe and Devon for such a generous donation of time and love! Thanks to Roman Loranc, Chuck Davis and Christina Lehman for each donating 5 silver gelatin photographs to be raffled off, Elliot for reading poetry and Gary and Margarette Pisoni of Pisoni Wines for donating such delicious wines for us to enjoy. Katherine Edison, Zach, Maryan and Michael Jones for catering supplies.
