You are invited to the Hillside Club’s Spring Benefit & Auction
A celebration of Berkeley’s past, present and future community.
Friday, May 12th, 6 ’til 10 pm
$25 includes dinner. No-host bar.
The evening begins with a visit by Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan, played by David Usner and Mary Beth Barber, reappearing to talk about their architectural plans for Berkeley. Thanks to playwright Belinda Taylor, dramaturge Erin Johnson, and costumer Dianne Ayres, you won’t be sure if these former Berkeleyans are real or only actors.
Our Berkeley Movers & Shakers panel will feature:
- Joan Blades, MoveOn.org, co-author of the Motherhood Manifesto;
- Patrick Kennedy, developer;
- Wavy Gravy/Hugh Romney;
- Mandy Aftel, perfumer;
- John Solomon, founder “How Berkeley Can You Be” parade & restauranteur.
Other benefit highlights: a historical slide show, avant-garde musical performance, and silent & live auctions. Donors include: Ajanta, Cesar’s, Chez Panisse, Linda Fairchild Gallery, Terracroft Tiles, North Berkeley Frame Shop, The Craftsman Home, Metro Lighting, Poulet, and more.
Please note: no credit cards.
Come enjoy the evening and support the Hillside Club – Berkeley’s oldest community club – showcasing the vibrancy that is Berkeley.
