PHOTOS: 69th Las Patronas Jewel Ball 2015 c’est magnifique!

Las Patronas’ 69th annual Jewel Ball — one of the most glamorous annual fundraisers in San Diego since 1946 — sported a French theme for 2015, celebrating the bon vivant and the joie de vivre in high style on Aug. 8 at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Bien sur there was Champagne, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and auctions, toutefois, dinner and dancing to the music of Wayne Foster Entertainment provided the pièce de résistance. The major beneficiaries of the Las Patronas Jewel Ball 2015 are: Alpha Project for the Homeless; Arc of San Diego; Boys & Girls Clubs of San Diego; Living Coast Discovery Center; Mountain Health & Community Services, Inc.; Old Globe Theatre; The Preuss School UCSD; University of San Diego Hahn School of Nursing & Health Science; and San Diego Zoo Global.

Letters to the Editor, Aug. 13: Lifeguard tower project is becoming a joke

This letter was also sent to the City of San Diego engineering department: Please tell me why the contractor is tearing up a newly constructed ramp at the still uncompleted lifeguard station project at La Jolla Cove? Why aren’t construction projects led with hard completion deadlines? Finish late, pay penalties. Finish early, get bonus.
This relatively small project is taking an unreasonable amount of time. Most of the time there are very few workers on the site. Today (Aug. 8) I only saw the one breaking up the new concrete ramp. Getting Saturday overtime?

What brought you to La Jolla?
I came to La Jolla in 1994 to train in interventional cardiology. Stents were pioneered by Scripps cardiologists Paul Teirstein, MD and Richard Schatz, MD, and I came as a Fellow to work with them for a year. I found La Jolla a revelation after winters in New York and knew I’d stay here.
