House of Hope’s 13th Annual Hearts for Hope
Luncheon has a fresh look and a new venue.
The chairwomen of House of Hope's past fashion
shows and authors series – Elaine Matts and
Connie Bass, respectively – have combined forces
to create an authors event with a touch of
fashion.
Hearts for Hope will be held 11 a.m. to 2:30
p.m., Monday, Feb. 6, 2012, at Sailfish Point
Country Club, 2203 SE Sailfish Point Blvd.,
Stuart. Tickets are $125 per person, and
sponsorship packages are available. Call
(772) 286-4673 or visit
www.hohmartin.org for information.
Headlining Hearts for Hope is best-selling
mystery author Stuart Woods. The former Treasure
Coast resident is a prolific writer of detective
fiction, and he will participate in a
question-and-answer session and sign books.
Several of his books will be on sale from Barnes
& Noble, and the bookseller will give part of
the proceeds to House of Hope.
During the festivities, volunteers will model
fashions from Top Drawer, Via Condotti and House
of Hope boutiques.
Other highlights include:
-
A special drawing
for a one-of-a-kind necklace valued at
$2,900, donated and designed by Terry Rieger
of Diamonds by Terry. Tickets are $20 each
or six for $100.
-
A live auction,
courtesy of auctioneer Drew Pittman, will
feature treasured items and fantastic
experiences, including a chauffeured trip to
Neiman Marcus in Palm Beach, during which
seven friends can enjoy a master makeup
class, champagne, sweets and shopping.
Another offering is a catered affair for 10
friends aboard a 100-foot yacht.
-
A silent auction
will include further special event packages
and unique items.
The event will be limited to 275 guests and has
a goal to raise $75,000. Fund-raising has
received a generous head start thanks to the
Pedersen Family Foundation as Grand Benefactor.
In addition to event co-chairwomen Elaine Matts,
Connie Bass, committee members include Lorraine
Cardarelli, Carol Calder, Maja Casson, Jean
Fedele, Doni Haas, Barrett Jones, Laurel Kelly,

management and financial assistance to Martin
County residents in need.
