Luau by the Pool to benefit mural project

San Diego Country Estates Association, San Vicente Inn and the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project are teaming up to hold a Luau by the Pool to benefit a SDCEA mural in the community of Ramona.

Celebrity servers will take care of your every need, to ensure you will have the best trip to the islands you’ve ever had without buying a plane ticket, fundraiser organizers promise.

The luau will be held on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 5 p.m. by the pool at the San Vicente Inn. Guests are invited to don their aloha shirt or mumu dress and puka shells, and come prepared to party.

A Hawaiian menu will be offered, along with poolside drinks, island music, and limbo contests.

Plenty of Hawaiian “ham” is sure to be served up by the celebrity servers.

Tickets for the benefit are $45 per person. Reservation deadline is Sept. 22 with advance payment. Credit cards are accepted.

An invitation with registration form can be emailed to you by contacting Stephanie Norvell at stephnorvell@gmail.com or calling 760-789-9995.

Local celebrity business owners and others are encouraged to sponsor a table and inflict their serving talents on their own guests while helping the mural project at the same time.

If anyone would care to donate items or services to the Silent Auction baskets, contact Norvell at stephnorvell@gmail.com or calling 760-789-9995, also by Sept. 22.

The Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project’s mission is “To encourage economic vitality by increasing tourism, promoting community pride, and celebrating our rich cultural heritage through an outstanding outdoor visual arts program.”

The first mural of the 30 planned over the next five years is already installed at the corner of 10th and Main streets and there are four murals being planned concurrently for potential installation before the end of 2012.
