2012 CHILDREN FIRST CELEBRATION GALA
When: 6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 21 Where: Michael’s On East
We’ll meet you at the Tropicana! The Children First Celebration Gala has become so popular over the past few years that the sell-out event has moved from the Sarasota Yacht Club to a new location — Michael’s On East. Last year’s aquatic-themed event was a complete hit with guests, and so was the auction, which included a trip to Costa Rica. This year’s theme is “Meet Me at the Tropicana” and chaired by Mindy and Wayne Rollins, Gerri Aaron and Marvin Albert, Jo and Stan Rustein and Drs. Heidi Anderson and Paul Brannan. Proceeds from the event fund the daily services provided to 600 children from 12 locations in Sarasota County. This is the organization’s largest event of the year. Tickets are $200. Call 953-3877, Ext. 124.

CELEBRATION LUNCHEON
When: 10:30 a.m. boutique shopping; 11:30 a.m. luncheon Tuesday, March 20 Where: The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota
You had better tune in to the 24th annual Celebration Luncheon presented by Girls Incorporated of Sarasota County, because it promises to inform, educate and entertain while focusing on the theme "media literacy." With six powerhouse co-chairwomen, including Louise Bruderle, of West Coast Woman; Kelley Lavin, of Gulf Shore Media; Lisl Lang, of SRQ Magazine; Diane McFarlin, of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune; Julie Milton, of Scene Magazine; and Lisa Walsh, of the Observer Group; the event is sure to send out strong messages about the current status of the media and its impact on girls. This year’s She Knows Where She's Going Award winners are strong, smart and bold — Flori Roberts and Pamela Truitt. The Donna Brace Ogilvie Board of Trustees Award will also be given to Susan Jones, of JCI Chemical Inc., and the Jones Family Foundation. The Girl of the Year Award will be presented to 13-year-old Shayla Brown.
