Ever-gracious sisters Grete Hale and Gay Cook didn’t hesitate to jump down the rabbit hole last Sunday when they loaned out their family’s historic property for a whimsical and wacky Alice in Wonderland-themed garden party.
The cause was PAL Ottawa, a volunteer-driven charity looking to create affordable housing for aging, isolated and/or disabled artists. “As the media and StatsCan never stop telling us, we are living longer, and this creates a problem: where to live and, for many, how to live,” PAL Ottawa board chair Jim Bradford remarked. “In the arts, certainly, the cheques are not becoming more frequent; they’re not becoming bigger.”
The theme fit with the National Arts Centre’s upcoming English Theatre production of Alice Through the Looking Glass, running Dec. 9 to Jan. 3. Its artistic director, Jillian Keiley, was there with her cutie pie daughter, Josie. Also seen were Cheryl Jensen, new president of Algonquin College (its culinary program provided the party food), and Glenn and Barbara McInnes, who hosted last year.
Teeing it up for women’s heart health
Here’s a fact you can take to heart: cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of Canadian women. The sold-out eighth annual Jeanne Fuller Red Dress Charity Golf Classic took a swing at changing that by raising $110,000 for women’s heart health last Monday at the Loch March golf course in Kanata.
Blessed with warm weather and sunny skies, golfers participated in what’s possibly the most enjoyable women’s charity golf tourney in town. There were massages, yoga, mini cosmetic makeovers, champagne and a closest-to-the-designer purse hole.
“Everything was perfect,” said Mary Browne, who was back with Marion Martell to co-chair for their sixth year. “Lots of cheers and happy women on the course.”
Proceeds went to the Heart Institute Foundation’s campaign to create the first Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre.
Present for the dinner was honorary chair Jeanne Fuller with her son, Mark Fuller, owner of Loch March and a member of the prominent Thomas Fuller Construction family, and his auctioneer wife, Diana.
Robyn Houle of Brockville spoke at dinner about her battle with heart disease.
Beer and bratwurst at Neil’s place
The last time Around Town saw Chris Neil, he was busy pouring wine for guests with his attractive wife, Caitlin, at a charity function for terminally ill children.
There he was again Thursday with alcohol in his hands, except this time it was beer from Central Bierhaus, a new Bavarian-inspired gastro-sports pub in Kanata owned by him and his friends.
Neil is a popular player with the Ottawa Senators. While he may be a veteran of that team, he’s admittedly a “rookie” at running a beer house and sports hall. Some of his 10 partners really know the biz, though. “It’s been a fun experience for me,” he told Around Town at the grand opening party.
As a tip of the helmet to teammate Chris Phillips, the new pub is serving some beer from Phillips’s Big Rig.
Out to support Neil were Sens president Cyril Leeder and coach Paul MacLean, both of whom liked what they saw. “It’s a really interesting, cool spot,” said Leeder. “It’s different: beer and bratwurst.”
