May began a luminous season for celebration and goodwill. The Capital City Ball, founded in 2007 by Bruce Fries and John Dunford, benefits charities, which combat Human Trafficking. The Executive committee members gathered at the home of John Dunford to brainstorm about spreading the word for this glam fete to be held in Nov. 19 at the Washington Club. Some of the DC charities participating are Bridge to Freedom, Courtney’s House, and Women Empowered Against Violence (WEAVE).
His Excellency, Papal Nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Sambi entertained guests at the Nunciature on Embassy Row. Justice Antonin Scalia confessed he’s still working on his Italian. Franco Nuschese of Café Milano catered. Guests included Dr. Hugh Dempsey, Dr. Bruno Damiani, Dr. Erminia Scarcella and Dr. Emanuele Mannarino whose father was an architect for the Vatican.
Ms. Classic American Woman 2010, Elaine Roecklein, celebrated her birthday in style at Mon Ami Gabi with eighty friends. We think, with her brains and contacts, she should make a run for city council.
