N STREET VILLAGE GALA Marriott Marquis | PHOTOS BY TONY POWELL HELP FOR THE HOMELESS More than $1.4 million was raised at N Street Village’s 45th anniversary gala, attended by 900 people committed to ending homelessness. Longtime supporters Stu and Pat Van Scoyoc were honored for helping homeless women reenter the workforce. Special musical guest Ledisi performed a moving version of “Pieces of Me” with the N Street Village and Luther Place Ambassadors of Praise. N Street Village welcomes nearly 2,000 of the city’s most vulnerable women every year, and provides housing to more than 700 women and 51 families in five locations throughout Washington, D.C.

RUTH BUCHANAN’S 100TH BIRTHDAY Private Club | PHOTOS BY TONY POWELL HEART AND SOUL “I’m overwhelmed,” was all Ruth Buchanan could manage to say with all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren plus friends of all ages surrounding her as Bob Hardwick’s Sound Sensation struck up “Happy Birthday” to celebrate her centenary. Numerous pals from Newport flew down for the cocktailbuffet-dansant in honor of Washington’s most beloved grande dame — one of those extremely rare occasions when four generations are spotted whooping it up together on the dance floor. Even the birthday girl got into the action when Rev. Stuart Kenworthy gave her a whirl or two in her wheelchair — as the band struck up “Soul Train” no less! A more delightful event would be nearly impossible to imagine.
