Togo West, Debbie Dingell, Ernie Jarvis, Lisa Osborne Ross, Bob Nixon, Tatiana

Avenue in Chevy Chase. Geisha models greeted guests as they sipped Ciroc
Blossom Martinis, Lumina Wine and VOSS water. The Cherry Blossom-themed
event included tastings from Palette, Galileo, Charlie Palmer Steak, Zola, Roof
Terrace Restaurant & Bar, Taberna Del Alabardero, The Fairmont Washington,

Chili Amar from Mix 107.3 introduced spectacular auction items such as a week

to honoree Jack Evans, despite some accounts) introduced the 12 winners to the
lively crowd of 500.
