CARIBBEAN CABARET

Get away to the islands

Women and Children First fundraiser sets sail for an evening of fun

Cool white linens, tropical colors and Hawaiian prints were de rigueur for the poolside Caribbean Cabaret on May 31 at the Edgehill home of Tiffany and Daniel Robinson.

Guests could lounge in a tented area, bid on silent auction items and listen to music by Brother Louie on the back porch. They also enjoyed food with an island flavor prepared by chef Donnie Ferneau and tropical drinks. Live auction items included a necklace, bracelet and earrings set from Sissy's Log Cabin; a tailgate party for 25 with Randy Lann, official grill master for the Dallas Cowboys; and two tickets to a Blake Shelton concert.

The fundraiser for Women and Children First was presented by The Peacekeepers, a young professionals board, for the nonprofit which helps those who have been subjected to domestic violence. Daniel Robinson is chairman of the Women and Children First board of directors.

In addition to a domestic violence hotline, Women and Children First provides emergency shelter, advocacy programs, a children's program and help with transitional housing.
