BRIEFS

The Junior League of Orange County was honored earlier this month by

Pavillon Christofle and the Underground Wine Journal for its service in

the area.

Pavillon manager James Hamilton and Blair Wallace, the journal’s

publisher, presented the organization with an engraved silver vase at a

wine tasting held at the at Pavillon Christofle’s South Coast Plaza

store. About one-third of the group’s members attended the event.

The wine was provided by Castle Rock Winery of Palos Verdes, and Newport

Beach’s What’s Cooking donated the hor d’oeuvres.

What’s Cooking, Pavillon Christofle and the Underground Wine Journal are

all sponsoring the league’s preferred Shopping Breakfast this year. The

breakfast is scheduled for Oct. 17 at the Fairgrounds.

The Junior League is an organization of women committed to voluntarism

and to assisting other women. The group formed in 1956 as the Newport

Harbor Service League. It joined the Assn. of Junior Leagues in 1971.
