The Holiday Dinner Dance has been an OCWS tradition for decades. It is one of the few events where our members can dress in semi-formal attire and enjoy a gourmet meal and outstanding wines. This year’s event was no exception. Nearly 90 OCWS members gathered at the Avenue of the Arts Hotel in Costa Mesa to enjoy a sparkling wine reception with passed appetizers followed by a sit-down dinner.
Attendees brought unwrapped toys to support the Cosa Mesa Fire Department’s Spark of Love Toy Drive. Thank you to all who brought toys. A special thank you to members of the fire department who came to the event to pick up the toy donation for less fortunate children in Costa Mesa.
The event would not be complete without The Three 2 Sevens band, which played classic dance tunes from various eras. Attendees danced the night away. We look forward to continuing this OCWS tradition again in December 2025.
