LONG BEACH, Calif. - Sept. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Flappers dancing the Charleston to live music, cigarette girls greeting guests on the red carpet, “backroom” casino complete with roulette wheels and black jack tables and guests dressed to the nines ‘20s style will set the tone for “The Gatsby Affair,” a fundraiser benefiting the nonprofit Costa Mesa Senior Center.  Being honored at the gala cocktail reception, to be held Friday, October 18 from 7 -11 p.m. at the exclusive Center Club (650 Town Center Drive), is critically acclaimed chef/restaurateur/cookbook author Zov Karamardian, owner of 5 OC restaurants bearing her name.
