Gloria Hafner met us as we entered the
gala with two of her protégés Samantha
Goldberg.
The silent auction was plentiful and many
gathered hoping to snatch up a bargain.
The live auction gained in excitement
especially after the Drifters performed to a
group of sit-down dancers throughout the
ballroom. Memories of our younger years
helped raise over $10,000 for a chance to
brag about The Drifters playing at their
event or wedding.
We all danced the night away though not
forgetting that this Sterling Event is
necessary to go on for all the tomorrows
that it will be needed.
Blessings to you, Dr. Sandy Goldberg and
all of your wonderful friends gathered
together this special evening.

It is hard to concieve that this beautiful actress
whose photo cutout, which I remember when I
was 19 years old, stood two stories
high atop the Roosevelt Theatre on State Street
in Chicago, is now, self admittedly, seventy
years old. In that photo, she wore a skimpy,
furry animal skin bikini, and with lush auburn
hair swirling to frame her perfect facial features
that were further enhanced with the
remarkable skill of a 1966 Hollywood makeup
artist, she was promoted as the way glamorous
natural cavewomen really looked 1,000,000
years B.C. Welch quickly became an
International sex goddess, reigning upon her
cinematic throne for decades.
Still unbelievably gorgeous, Raquel Welch
honored Chicago with her iconic presence in the
Wolf Ballroom of the Holiday Inn to accept the
silver Focus Award presented to her by Bill
Zwecker.
The Focus is given to women who have made
significant contributions to film and also have
strong ties to Chicago, where Welch was born
Jo Raquel Tejada, September 5, 1940.
The Mistress of Ceremonies was beautiful
Micah Materre - WGN News Anchor and Focus
Awards were also presented to Emmy Award
winning producer Jamie Ceaser and Television

Among the many illustrious guests were Victor
Skrebneski who had photographed Raquel for
her 40th birthday and Diana Palomar - Vice
President Community Affairs ABC 7 News.
