Seacrest Village gala Feb. 6 to recognize local firefighters

ENCINITAS, California (Press Release)– The Women’s Auxiliary of Seacrest Village Retirement Communities will hold its 32 nd Annual Gala, “Cirque du Seacrest Masquerade Ball,” on Saturday, February 6, 2010 at the beautiful Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines.

This year’s event will recognize the Encinitas and Poway Fire Departments for their outstanding service to the Seacrest Village residents and staff. Attending the Gala will be the mayor of Encinitas, Dan Dalager, and other city officials.

In addition to recognizing the Encinitas and Poway Fire Departments, honorary co-chairs Esther and Bud Fischer are pleased to bring guests the exciting entertainment of Cirque du Seacrest – a custom cirque show developed specifically for Seacrest Village Retirement Communities. Cirque du Seacrest features an all-star cast of cirque performers comprised of acrobats that travel around the United States as well as local San Diego cirque stars. Superbly choreographed and staged by former Broadway performer Tony Caligagan of Heatwave Productions, the cirque show is an energetic display of strength, beauty and acrobatic feats.

The 25-minute show begins and ends with the powerful sights and sounds of Taiko Drums and features amazing aerial acrobats, breath-taking hand to hand balancing, chair stacking and body contortion. The fun begins during the cocktail reception that includes a jazz trio, special entertainment from the Cirque cast and masquerade favors. The evening also includes a gourmet dinner and dessert as well as candy buffet and coffee bar. Guests can dance the night away to the sounds of Society Beat of San Diego.

Black tie and costumes are optional.

Each year Seacrest Village Retirement Communities serves almost four hundred seniors between the Encinitas and Rancho Bernardo campuses. For over forty years, the Women’s Auxiliary has aided Seacrest Village in its ongoing commitment to provide the highest quality of care in a warm and dignified environment for older adults in our community, regardless of their ability to pay.
