A VALUABLE CAUSE ON VALENTINE'S DAY, WITH OR WITHOUT A SWEETHEART
You don't have to be with the man/woman of your dreams, traverse far from home, or burn a hole in your bank account, for an exciting, fulfilling, and worthwhile Valentine's Day.
Consider joining me solo or with your bff, neighbor, relative, associate, cohort, acquaintance at CBS Studio Center, New York Street, 4024 Radford, Studio City, 6:30 SHARP-7:30pm for a FREE "Jazz for Justice" V-Day/One Billion Rising event, to help end violence against women and children.
V-Day is a nonprofit created by Eve Ensler, author of “The Vagina Monologues.” V-Day raises money and awareness to help survivors of violence around the globe.
UN statistics tell us that one in three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. That's over ONE BILLION people on the planet…hence, the One Billion Rising campaign.

There will be risings in more than 200 countries. All you have to do is just show up. Free parking, free t-shirts while supplies last, amazing entertainment by awesome jazz maestros, motivational speeches by Jane Fonda and Wendy Greuel, belly dancing, and resource tabling.
Each of the vocalists has picked a pertinent piece, especially for this occasion. The lineup includes: Anita Robles, Cathy Segal-Garcia and her “Fish to Birds” vocal ensemble, Danielle Skalsky, Jody Jaress, Laura Pursell, Linda A. Smith, and Perlene Thurston.

Afterwards, we'll be headed to Monty's Steakhouse in Woodland Hills (corner of Topanga Canyon and Ventura Blvds) for fun and fantastic dancing to the dynamic, spirited sounds of a live band, friendly folks, and perhaps a special Valentine to call your own!
If not, you have another chance for romance by attending the soiree on Saturday, February 15, 7:30pm at Stephen Wise's Hershenson Hall, 15500 Stephen S. Wise Drive, Los Angeles 90077.
Enjoy the Tommy Tassi Band playing hits of the 50's, 60's, and 70's; a complete delicious buffet dinner of Baked Chicken, Veggies, Rice, Salad, Fresh Cut Fruit, Tossed Salad; cookies, cake, and ice cream for dessert; a beverage bar (wine, beer, bottled water, soft drinks, tea, coffee).
$25.00 cash at the door is a steal at half the price and a wonderful way to spend your Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend. No reservations required. Over 150 classy, cool, charming, bachelors/bachelorettes expected.
Say yes to love and connection, no to isolation and loneliness. Get out there, mingle, communicate face to face, celebrate your greatness, and be ready to attract your soul mate! You deserve it!
