Touching the Heart - Monday, October 26, 2009


Over 75 women joined together over a beautiful lunch at the Historic Multnomah Hotel (Embassy Suites) to support CSO's education program, MEET the BEAT.


With a backdrop of pink, the Ladies were treated to the talents of the Yoon Trio (Lauren, Ashley and Taylor) and the vocal dessert of Coral Walterman, who is the guest soloist for the November 20 & 22 concerts of the orchestra.






All the profits from this lovely event
go directly to support all the activities
associated with MEET the BEAT including the upcoming performance of Peter & The Wolf on December 6.

The Ladies of Perkins & Company!

Models Dawn Carter and Camilla Wilson Scott

Auction fun - - - there are couple of great items left that are up for auction until November 15, 2009. See the list here.
