PARTIES...
We also have social gatherings that are designed to have time to get to know one another. Our annual Christmas Party includes our new Officer Installation ceremony. Another popular event is our summer Barbeque, usually at the home of a member that has a beautiful backyard! We have taken the Los Angeles Metro downtown for a walking tour of the old Los Angeles Theatre District, attended Museums and strolled along Rodeo Drive.

In May 2009, a number of MBRWF members attended a book signing/ cocktail party/speech in conjunction with the Woodland Hills, and Malibu-Bel-Air clubs with featured guest, Dick Morris and his wife, Eileen Mc Gann. The price of the event included their best seller "Fleeced". Dick's speech, though brutally honest about what Barak Obama wants to do, ended on a positive note, suggesting the the President is actually his own worst enemy, and many of his programs will have the unintended consequences of bringi ng conservatives back into office! Most of Dick's predictions have come true over the years. Let's hope he is right! Shown above with Dick are our very own Rosalie Olson and Lana VanAggelan.
"let us remember that just as progress is impossible without peace, economic growth is a crucial pillar of peace, beckoning with brighter horizons all who dream of a better life."

BOOK SIGNINGS...
Every spring we go through our closets and drawyers, and ask friends and neighbors to do the same. We always come up with first class merchandise to create a boutique style "new-to-you" sale.

FUNDRAISERS...
Our fundraisers are fun, casual, and crowded! Our members know how to party. We have Wine Tasting events which usually have silent auction items, we have garage sales, fashion shows, and whatever ur Ways and Means committee members can imagine! Part of the raised funds contribute to our general fund, but most aredistributed in the form of scholarships and other benefits to our returning veterans.
