Held at the Surf Club, the Marian Center Auxiliary’s annual luncheon began with a cocktail reception with a boutique to benefit the Center. More than 250 guests were in attendance for lunch, a runway fashion show courtesy of Charli Girls, and some wonderful and heart-warming presentations. One of the highlights of the afternoon was a performance by the Marian Center Bell Choir, a group of teens and adults who attend the Marian Center. And an added bonus was a surprise birthday cake presented to Sister Lucia Ceccotti, Director Emeritus, who will celebrate her 90th birthday. Sister Lucia is one of eleven sisters who came from Italy in 1963 to start the school. The Marian Center provides educational, residential, vocational and recreational services to over 150 students and adults with developmental disabilities.
