As most of you know, Renaissance Publishing LLC and St. Charles Avenue magazine have been supporting our wounded warriors and veterans at Bastion with our “Wine, Dine & Design” events, and we’re so proud of our cover for this year! This fourth annual event includes the Preview Party on Wednesday, October 11, 6-8 p.m., and the Luncheon on Thursday, October 12, 11:30-1:30 p.m., both at the Audubon Tea Room. Thanks to our Co-Chairs Celeste and Curtis Eustis, and Lauren and Bryan Fitzpatrick; and our Presenting Sponsor representatives Bryan Subaru’s Will Bryan and IberiaBank’s Cleland Powell!
The events (and our November issue) will feature tables by 26 over-the-top designers who are creating a work of art for each table, as well as favors for each guest who attends the luncheon. The cocktails and hors d’oeuvres for the Preview Party as well as the gourmet food and wine for the Luncheon are provided by the exceptional staff at the Audubon Tea Room.
Bastion is an intentionally designed neighborhood in New Orleans for returning warriors with lifelong rehabilitative needs and their families, and it’s up and running serving 35 families now! Bastion Founder and Executive Director Dylan Tête is excited that we’re spreading the word about this dynamic program, and we need all of you to be involved. We are almost sold out for the Luncheon, join us at the Preview Party for $50 a person by visiting WineDineNDesign.com or calling 830-7264.
