Supporters were out in force at The Lark in the Funk Zone when owner Sherry Villanueva hosted a pre-reception for the Foodbank of Santa Barbara’s fifth annual Table of Life event, being held for the second time
at the Montecito estate of lawyer Jim Sokolove and his wife, Stephanie, on October 8, which will have 250 guests and is expected to raise around $250,000 for the organization. Nancy Sheldon and Ann Daniel are co-chairs of the popular event, which will honor Deckers Brands and Maryan Schall. Executive director Erik Talkin says the Foodbank’s mission is to promote good health and nutrition while distributing healthy food. More than 9.7 million pounds of food has been effectively distributed over the years. Among those at the party were Janet Garufis, Neil and Jill Levinson, Palmer and Susan Jackson, Tom and Heather Sturgess, Fred Kass, and Santa Barbara Polo Club president John Muse.

heeled guests stepped on the stage for a three-course dinner accompanied by Lieff wines, serenaded by the Santa Barbara Choral Society under veteran director JoAnne Wasserman and emceed by the ubiquitous Andrew Firestone, looking particularly dapper in his grey tux. The first Legend award winners were dynamic duo Morrie and Irma Jurkowitz, who once owned the historic theater and tower, and each gave $5 million to the entertainment palace’s restoration campaign, establishing the Jurkowitz Center for Community Engagement in honor of their daughter, who once worked at the theater. The handsome crystal award, engraved with the “G” shield logo designed by Santa Barbara architect Roger Phillips, as featured in the theater’s lobby, was presented by former City College president Peter MacDougall.
