Annual Soiree: Roman Holiday
The annual LAMG Soiree will be held at 6:30pm on Saturday, September 14th at the home of Patrick and Yvette McGarrigle. The theme is Roman Holiday and we are proud to have Brentwood's own Divino Restaurant join us as our catering partner for the evening. Chef Goran Milić combines the charming elegance of Montenegro with the warmth of the Tuscan sun to bring Italian flavors influenced by the Adriatic coast to America. He is everyone's favorite local chef. The evening promises a delicious Italian dinner, Italian wines and cocktails, a breathtaking view, and wonderful company. Come celebrate la bella vita e una bella serata sotto le stelle!
