11TH ANNUAL PIE IN THE SKY THANKSGIVING BAKE SALE Think it’s too early to start dishing about those T-Day pies? Well, when you consider
that Mama’s Kitchen pies: pumpkin, traditional apple, pecan or Dutch apple, go on sale beginningMonday, October 10,with orders continuing right on up to Sunday, November 20at midnight, you might want to rethink that. “Mama’s Pie in the Sky bake sale has become a tradition in San Diego and one that many locals look forward to as they give thanks over the Thanksgiving holiday,” said Alberto Cortés, executive director at Mama’s Kitchen. “The price of just one $25 pie enables us to provide seven, nutritious, home delivered meals to our neighbors affected by AIDS or cancer.” In 2013, the Mama’s Pie in the Sky Bake Sale was the biggest and most successful to date, selling 4,200 pies and raising over $111,000 during the six-week sales period, funding over 43,000 meals. A great way to “give thanks,” now wouldn’t you say? For more information on how to purchase your “four-and-twenty” pies, or to perhaps volunteer as a “dainty dish” helper, go to

RED DRESS PARTY “Hey you with the red dress on, I gotta find a way to take it off. I got a lot of love and it’s growing strong. When I see
you with your red dress on. You in that red dress, you with that red dress on!” (From Magic’s album,Primary Colors). Since last year’s full-length, red, sequin numberwith the train was such a resounding success, it’s high time to get on the ball and seek out 2016’s sexy number to top it! The act of donning a glamorous red ensemble for Red Dress events began back in 2000 in the city of Portland and has wandered across the country (draped in a fabulous frock, of course), to places like Sacramento, Chicago, Seattle, Palm Springs and New Orleans (among others). The San Diego version is to raise funds and awareness for organizations that serve the local HIV/AIDS community. Returning to Balboa Park onSaturday, October 8, though in a new venue, the stunning San Diego Natural History Museum. The event will allow for 700 attendees and offers two main floors for dancing, drinking and entertainment, plus an open-air rooftop available exclusively to VIP guests! San Diego’s theme for 2016 is “Red and Wild” and promises again to be an evening filled with great music and dancing—and of course, the best in red dress fashion—all in support of worthy causes throughout San Diego.
