News is flowing in about Fall events that are approaching “Grovel Alert” status. Hey, it’s not even August yet! Oh, well, let’s sell!
One of those inching close to a done deal is the TACA RBC Wealth Management Custom Auction on Friday, September 20, at the Mansion. There are only a few tables left.
This black-tie event is fun and glamorous from stem to stern. The cocktail party would be worth the price of a ticket. The champagne flows, the guests look so refreshed from summer sojurns and the chatter is smart, clever and frothy with news.

Then all go to their tables, which are located in every nook and cranny in the Mansion. Whether you’re at an intimate table for four on the veranda, in the main dining room with showstopping table for eight or in the Sheppard King Suite at a table for 10, there’s never a moment of silence. . . well, maybe there are brief seconds when munching down dinner by Chef Bruno Davaillon.

Round three is the live auction that’s limited to a scant few extremely fabulous items assembled by NM’s Wanda Gierhart, who must have the same DNA as the late Stanley Marcus. Just watching Christie’s Los Angeles President Andrea Fiuczynski running the auction is entertainment in itself.

The grand finale is the post party where even the most staid socialite has been known to hit the dance floor like a high school cheerleader. Handling the tunes will be DJ Sista Whitenoise.
Bill and Heather Esping are chairing the event with Barbara and Don Daseke as their honorary co-chairs.
All you have to do is make your reservation and survive August’s heat.
