Quick, check your recycling bin!
Junk mail got less junky recently, when TheatreWorks sent out 20,000 season brochures via bulk mail. Inside one of those brochures is a gold, hand-signed sticker entitling the recipient to a freshwater pearl necklace from Tiffany & Co. in Palo Alto.However, it’s beginning to look as if the necklace is going to go neck-less.
Whoever won the jewelry, a 12-strand Torsade necklace designed by Paloma Picasso, has until June 21 to claim it. TheatreWorks spokeswoman Erica Lewis-Finein said she hopes “the case of the missing necklace winner” can be solved in time for someone to receive the prize at the opening-night performance of “Vanities” on June 24.
So, if anyone has a vague recollection of tossing an envelope with a TheatreWorks logo on it, now might be a good time to dig through that pile of junk mail and newspapers headed for the recycling bin. Those of you who don’t recycle are going to have an unpleasant search through the trash, and frankly, if you don’t recycle, consider digging through coffee grounds and stinky banana peels a cosmic comeuppance.
Wedding bells at The Sequoias
For the first time in its 45-year history, The Sequoias retirement community in Portola Valley was host to a resident’s wedding ceremony. On May 20, Janna Leffingwell married David Estrich of Orinda.All 300 Sequoias residents were invited to the ceremony, held in the community lounge, and to the champagne reception that followed at Hanson Hall.
The Rev. Frank VanderZwan of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church officiated, and a harpist and flutist provided the music.
One of the wedding cakes was decorated with a laptop computer and inscribed, “Janna and David thank e-Harmony.”
“Electronic selection, not natural selection, made their marriage possible,” says Sequoias resident Mary Jo Hossfeld.
