Description: "Pretty in pink and delicious in caramel...The central polished nugget of golden agate looks good enough to eat! Clear lampwork beads gleam like copper stardust and flash shades of pink. And faceted pink strawberry quartz dance along the length of this necklace, contributing their flash and gleam to the overall look. The caramel color of the 8mm camel colored quartz beads echo the tones in the large agate. 4mm cultured pearls of a lustrous coppery pink complete the piece, which is finished with the swirl of an elegant sterling silver toggle clasp.Golden agate reputedly amplifies many desirable qualities. It is said to increase your happiness and intelligence, as well as enhance your eloquence. Doni will package and ship the necklace to the winner.

Lunch for Two at the Sunset Towers, The Terrace

STAR PATRONS: Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Biel, Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger, Russell Crowe and Kirsten Dunst, (says InStyle Magazine) along with graduates of Alemany ’66 are found dining at the fabulous Terrace poolside at Jeff Klein’s Sunset Tower Hotel on the Sunset Strip.
Now you can dine in style and benefit classmate Larry Cappel’s Strides for Life by bidding on a gift certificate valued at $200 for lunch for two at the Terrace. Owner, Jeff Klein, generously donated this certificate for the Monarch campaign to raise funds for Strides for Life.
From the LA Times: It doesn't get much more L.A. than this casual poolside spot in the Sunset Tower Hotel, that Deco beauty on the strip. Chef Dakota Weiss' menu features big salads, such as a lobster Cobb, as well as steak frites. And you can't beat the view. That alone is worth the price of admission.
From la.com: Past the execs and celebs inside Sunset Tower Hotel is a peaceful poolside lounge, The Terrace, with fantastic small plates and a view only possible on the strip.
…Offerings include grilled foccaccias (with pecorino and shaved fennel, perhaps, or brie, heirloom tomatoes and bacon) seafood options (oysters, shrimp cocktail) and classy riffs on American fare, often with French and Italian influences. Fingerling potato skins arrive with serrano ham, rich Saint Andre cheese and white truffle oil; steak tartare has brioche toast points. (Open all day, The Terrace also serves a mimosa-friendly brunch.) With the help of a cocktail or two, it's easy to let time slip away, especially on a warm evening with nowhere else to go: Behind the small pool's glass wall, Los Angeles gleams after sundown. —Lonny Pugh
