for the benefit of ‘MY FRIEND’S PLACE’ and ‘LOS ANGELES YOUTH NETWORK’. 
Jana and hubby Ivan Tether (who’s on the board at My Friend’s Place) first told us about this wonderful organization that provides a safe haven for homeless youth in Hollywood. Their mission is to assist and inspire homeless youth (of which there are so many) to build self-sufficient lives. I do hope you will click on their website that I’ll list below!
What a grand time we had beginning with the ‘adorable greeter’s who showed us the way to the VIP dining section on the Santa Monica Pier. Then it was on to the Grand Chapiteau for KOOZA, this year’s Cirque extravaganza another not to be missed of their shows.
Mom went with us and we felt like three kids as this show definitely delivers the WOW factor!

Hi Nana,
I like your site…very comprehensive.Thank you for your lovely comment on my post. Lisa had mentioned that there is something in my work that reminded her of yours. I believe that it is my initial watercolor training in Sumi painting. I learned to work that way first, in high school. I also like your helpful You tube videos as well. They are good reminders for me. I look forward visiting periodically to see what you are doing next.
And you may have inspired me to finally get tickets again to Cirque du soleil..I love the design in their shows! I saw one once, years ago.
