The Garden Party is back

How many of you remember the fabulous June fundraiser, the Garden Party, to support the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center in Farmington Hills?

It was a gala event under tents that drew the finest restaurants and wines to support the center that was an orphanage and rescue center for at-risk children and families. In 2006, the center relocated to the Brightmoor area of Detroit.

And the Garden Party vanished.

Well, it's back again, at a new location. The food and wine affair will take place from 1-5 p.m. June 14 at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Bloomfield Hills, and will offer fine wines and the food of 30 Metro Detroit restaurants.

The event will benefit a range of charities, including the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan and the Culinary Studies Institute at Oakland Community College.

Event hosts are asking that all women wear hats. Attire will be "Garden Party chic."

Edward and Juliette Jonna will be special honorees.

Tickets are $100 and can be purchased in advance at the Web site.
