Monday Margaritas for a Marvelous Cause

Posted by Natalie Kaar / Monday, September 26th, 2011

Hello there, shoppers! Fresh off the heels of the Washington, D.C. Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, where I was inspired beyond measure over the three-day, 60-mile journey — from lacing up 4 a.m. on Friday morning to dancing in celebration on the Washington Monument Grounds late yesterday afternoon — it’s my pleasure to share another special opportunity to help area cancer patients.

Next Monday, Oct. 3, neighboring Vienna businesses Valerianne and Bazin’s on Church will be hosting a festive soiree in celebration of a very special new cancer center, The Sharon Nicolaisen Appearance Center, soon to open at the Dewberry Life With Cancer Family Center, aka “Carolyn’s House.”

The new center will serve as a one-stop shop to help cancer patients understand and cope with the appearance-altering aspects of their disease and treatment, helping to restore their self esteem and enhance their quality of life.

The event, taking place from 6-9 p.m., will begin at Valerianne where guests will enjoy margaritas and small bites from Bazin’s new Mexican concept while also enjoying the musings of Segen Laird Scott from NYC’s LAFCO, sharing the wonders of Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. Then, the party will move downstairs to Bazin’s where its owners will preview menu items from their new venture (cash bar).

If able to attend, please RSVP by Sept. 30.

Happy shopping!
