A Two Year Journey…..

On October 5 Grace Phillips will showcase her lifetime achievement in Art and to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s, from which she suffers.
 
Sept. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- What started out as a dream a little more than two years ago to honor our mother,
Grace Phillips, is now becoming a reality! On October 5, we will achieve our goal of
paying tribute to her by showcasing her lifetime achievement in Art and to raise
awareness for Alzheimer’s, from which she suffers.

The personal collection of Grace Phillips is being exhibited at Scripps Memorial Hospital
on Tuesday evening, October 5th, 2010 and will include an overview by Sue Phillips,
International Fragrance Expert, to raise awareness of the correlation of smell, taste and
memory as key elements to emotional well-being and how the plight of Alzheimer’s affects
these senses. See Sue’s article SENSORY HEALING  in GLOW BEAUTY MAGAZINE.

We are grateful to all our Sponsors for their enthusiasm and generosity, and for
helping us create a SENSORY CELEBRATION with Art, Scent, Wine, Food and great Music ..all
with a South African and Californian flavor and ambience. We thank South African Airways
and ETALI SAFARI LODGE for donating the spectacular Grand Prize of a round trip ticket for
two to SA and a wonderful 3-night weekend at the most luxurious ETALI Safari Game park
in Southern Africa.
Thanks to Timeless Africa Safaris for the introduction to ETALI.

This “opportunity drawing” valued at over $6,500 can be won just by placing bids on the
Silent Auction for Grace’s art. There are other wonderful prizes that will be raffled off as
door prizes.

25% of the proceeds from the evening will be donated to Scripps /Alzheimer’s,
as well as sales from the art during the 3-month exhibition

As a tribute to Grace Phillips who was THE foremost Calligraphist and Watercolorist
from South Africa and who was active in the arts in San Diego for over 20 years,
her children Geoff and Sue Phillips, together with Scripps Memorial Hospital, are presenting
this Retrospective exhibition and Silent Auction fundraiser benefit. This is a one-time spectacular
event of a collection of art, painted over 70 years, some of which has never-before-previously-been
seen which will be exhibited for 3 months, portraying South African scenes, florals, portraits,
and landscapes from Grace’s travels all over the world.

While guests enjoy refreshments, the silent auction will turn into a Live Auction,
and guests will have the opportunity to bid on their favorite works of art of which
25% will go towards Scripps and Alzheimer’s.

We are extremely grateful to all those who have made this tribute possible!
Most sincerely and sensorially…….treasure every day!
Sue and Geoff Phillips
