An Evening With Olympia Dukakis Benefiting
"180 Turning Lives Around" Held in Torchwood Room
at Branches Catering on January 22, 2007

Toby Shylit Mack, Event Chair, and fifty prominent Monmouth County women attended a private reception to hear heartfelt and poetic readings by Olympia Dukakis to raise money for 180 and awareness about domestic violence. The Academy Award winning actress donated her time and created an environment of compassionate sisterhood. The evening was enhanced by the ambiance of the magnificent fireplace, living room setting, and delectable food and specialty drinks donated by Branches. The generosity of renowned Jazz pianist Jeff Levine’s music and Floral Designer, Deirdre Kosmas’ exquisite orchid and branch designs illuminated with candles helped set the mood for a meaningful and delightful evening.
