WWC's Holiday Fantasy was a Spectacular Success!

Despite the rain, our members, volunteers, vendors, and supporters showed up in full force to enjoy a truly memorable celebration. But beyond the festivities, this highly attended event served a cherished purpose: raising the funds that allow us to continue our philanthropic work throughout the community.

Guests sipped mimosas as they browsed the Silent Auction, catching up with friends, both old and new, while bidding on beautifully curated baskets and highly sought-after gift cards and certificates. Friendly competition filled the room, and the cheers that erupted for our Opportunity Ticket winners brought smiles all around.

Our vendors offered a wonderful selection of specialty items that were a huge hit with attendees. Lunch was a delicious Italian feast, topped off with tiramisu, cannoli, or (for many of us!) both. And who could forget the whimsical charm of our strolling magician? His close-up illusions delighted our guests—and our founder, Helene Ross, enjoyed every minute of it.

I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all the volunteers and members who worked tirelessly to make this event an incredible success.

A very special thank-you goes to the non-members who came out to support their Westlake Women’s Club friends and family with payment processing, vendor assistance, assembly space, transportation, and more:

Dr. Ted and Suzanne Corwin, Cathy Trent, Gabriel Scally, Kevin McCaffery, Brian Gaffney, Taylor Gaffney, Geoffrey Davies, Hans & Aracely Ipsen, James Sendejas, Sal Sendejas, and the Cal Lutheran student helpers.

Your teamwork, energy, and generosity reflect the very best of community spirit.

And to our wonderful guests and generous sponsors, thank you. Your support makes it possible for us to continue funding vital programs, scholarships, and services throughout the Conejo Valley and beyond.

Once again, the Holiday Fantasy reminded us of a simple truth:

WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER, WE MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE.
