LOTS TO CHEER AT PEN'S 2ND ANNUAL WINE TASTING
The Pasadena Education Network celebrated a successful year at our 2nd Annual Wine Tasting. Held at redwhite+bluezz in Old Pasadena, guests enjoyed reds and whites, delicious food, live jazz, and an amazing silent auction. We honored George Brumder and Audrey Durden as excellent role models for how volunteers can have a positive impact on our public schools so all children benefit.
George is a retired lawyer, civic and community leader, and a tireless public school advocate. Audrey is a Pasadena Unified School District parent who has been an active volunteer since her children started kindergarten at Field Elementary.
Sponsors for the event were the California Community Foundation, Beth Gertmenian, Larry & Petite Morrison, Joe & Marge Wyatt, John & Ida Hitchcock, Ryan & Asma Jasmine George, and Assemblymember Anthony Portantino.
Special thanks to redwhite+bluezz for their generosity and hospitality. And to our Event Team volunteer team members Dana Bradley, Frances Dayman, Susan Favela, Jen Gold, Shelly James, Diane Orona, and Cindy Ranii.
