SYMPHONY BENEFITS FROM EVENING UNDER THE STARS

While the sun sets, hors d’oeuvres from Chen Chen of Beverly Hills will be passed along with wine and soft drinks while guests mingle with members of the symphony board and orchestra.
Spirited background music will be performed for 30 minutes by members of the Glendale Symphony Orchestra before renowned NBC weatherman and humorist Fritz Coleman is introduced for his one-hour program.
The evening concludes with a stroll through the Forest Lawn Museum art exhibit.

PRINCESS DINNERS RAISE FUNDS FOR ROSE FLOAT
A dinner fit for royalty will be served to guests over two evenings as a benefit for the Glendale Rose Float Assn.’s 2010 Rose Parade float.
The Princess Dinners are at 6 p.m. June 13 and 27 at the Glendale Elks Lodge, 120 E. Colorado St., Glendale.
A gala wine tasting and six-course dinner are planned. A different wine will accompany each dinner course.
The dinner is a re-creation of the one served to Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco by the same Glendale chef who prepares it on these two nights — chef Jerry Salthouse. That dinner was hosted by Saudi businessman Adnon Kashogghi on board the Yacht Tracinda Jean in the harbor at Monaco.
