Fwd: Fine Arts Foundation Late Summer 2014

Fine Arts Foundation Newsletter Late Summer 2014
Co-Presidents Lynn Hinkle and Lynn Cahen
From the Co-Presidents:
The summer is winding down, and the Fine Arts Foundation
is planning and setting goals for our new fiscal year. The
fundraisers and events have been completed for 2013-2014,
our grant recipients have been selected, and these
organizations will be receiving notice of their award this
month! We take great pride in the variety and number of arts
organizations that we are able to give benefit to, and we are
anxious to announce them to you at our Fall Luncheon on
September 17, 2014. Please plan to attend as our new Board
is installed, one of our grant recipients is highlighted, and
membership information is given for 2014-2015.
The Fine Arts Foundation Debutante Ball was held on
Saturday, June 21, 2014 on the University of Denver campus.
Twenty-five inspiring young women were presented. Lynn
Wong, Debutante Ball Chair, and her Co-Chair, Julie
Anderson, the presentation committee and many volunteers,
did a fabulous job of covering every beautiful detail to assure
that everyone had a wonderful evening that will be
remembered for a lifetime! The Debutante Ball along with the
Citizen of the Arts Jubilee, the Endowment Fund Campaign,
and assorted other FUNdraisers make our mission possible.
We are pleased that we impact our community and our
membership by "enriching life in Colorado by supporting the
Arts."
A new and exciting fundraiser was introduced to the
membership in Spring 2014! We had 14 wineries from
Oregon's Willamette Valley, 80 guests mixing and mingling,
60 bottles of wine for a silent auction, and a three-piece band
provided by DU's Lamont School of Music for a fabulous
evening of supporting the arts in Colorado! Elizabeth Hotz
and Marcia Morgan chaired this event, and with the help of
William Snowden, Liz Frawley, Argonaut Liquors, DU
Musicians, Susan Stiff and the Sheraton Hotel, additional
money was raised for our 2014-2015 grant recipients!
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as CoPresidents of the Fine Arts Foundation. We have been
fortunate to be surrounded by talented, enthusiastic, caring
and perseverant women who give attention to their
community and the arts. There is no doubt that we have had
a successful year of fundraising and planning for the future,
and we are encouraged and enthusiastic with the
organization and momentum of Lynn Wong, President Elect,
and the 2014-2015 Board. There is much to be anticipated
and enjoyed in the coming year.
All the Best Lynn Cahen and Lynn Hinkle

The 2014 Fine Arts Foundation Debutante Ball
On Saturday, June 21, 2014, the Debutante Ball Committee presented The
Fine Arts Foundation Debutante Ball, "An Imperial Garden honoring the
Debutantes of 2014", on the Driscoll Campus Green, University of Denver.
The evening began with the presentation of each lovely and accomplished
Debutante by her very proud father. John Henry Tatlock was Master of
Ceremonies for the Presentation Ceremony and Casen Taylor Dunn and
Austin John Richard Hartman were the Receiving Line Escorts. Tiara
Mistresses Brianne Rose and Nora Willow Engel, Ava Grace Mohler and
Lindsey Megan Watt held the baskets containing the tiaras. After receiving
her tiara from Ball Chair, Mrs. David Alan Wong or Ball Co-Chair, Mrs. Mark
Steven Anderson, each Debutante turned and curtsied to her mother and the
assembled guests. With music provided by the Jerry Barnett quartet, the
Debutantes enjoyed the Father-Daughter waltz and an opportunity to dance
with each of their two escorts.
Following the post-presentation social, Debutantes and guests dined on
Summer Baby Wedge salad, Beef Tenderloin and a Duet of Chocolate Torte
and Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake prepared by Cater Rendezvous. The black
and white tables were set off by oriental inspired red and orange floral
arrangements and illuminated Chinese lanterns floating above the dance floor
added to the magical feeling inside the beautiful white tent. The celebrating
continued until midnight with dancing to Jerry Barnett and New Society.
Money raised at the Ball and during the Debutante program year is
distributed, in the form of grants, to various nonprofit cultural arts
organizations in the greater Denver area. Recipients have included the Central
City Opera, Denver Art Museum, Phamaly Theatre Company, Rocky Mountain
PBS and University of Denver.
The Fine Arts Foundation was pleased to present the following Debutantes for
2014:
Miss Catherine Fallert Atkinson, Miss Emilie Boushelle Benedict, Miss
Carolyn Margaret Breeze, Miss Jaidi Nicole Carter, Miss Claire Elizabeth
Chrisman, Miss Colby Martha Goettelman, Miss McKenna Nicole Granger,
