'BELLissimo!'
fundraiser for tower
set for July 28
FOR THE ISLANDER
The Catalina Chimes Tower
Foundation is excited to report
that the timeless lines of the
beloved structure can now be
enjoyed into the evening, thanks
to J. Scott Gillespie, of Persa
Designed Landscape Lighting,
who generously contributed the
entire cost of designing and
installing the lights.
"The Chimes Tower is
approaching its 100th anniver-
sary in just a few years, and we
are working hard on restoring
and highlighting its beauty, so it
will continue to shine in the next
100 years" says Alison Wrigley
Rusack, foundation Chair.
It was Ada Elizabeth
Wrigley's hope that the clas-
sic tower and melodic chimes
would be a lasting presence in
Avalon, bringing enjoyment to
all, and adding another bit of
character to the magical island
that had captivated her family.
The foundation is look-
ing forward to continuing its
work following its second
annual "BELLissimo!" fund-
raiser, which will take place on
Saturday, July 28, from 5 to 8
p.m. at Castillo del Mar, One
Crescent Ave Avalon.
Tickets are $150 for what is
sure to be a fun-filled evening of
entertainment--including hors
d'oeuvres, libations, a silent auc-
tion, opportunity drawings and
a special chimes concert from
the base of the tower.
"The silent auction items
look exciting this year, and are
pouring in" says Blanny Avalon
Hagenah, foundation vice chair.
A "sneak preview" selection
of them will be available to
view on the foundation's web-
site, CatalinaChimes.org, during
the week prior to the event,
Tickets can be purchased
