Tomatoes filled the lovely garden/patio at the charming little Murray Hill restaurant, La Tarte Flambee on August 3rd for a delightful evening of conversation, wine, fabulous tartes, and a wonderful raffle that benefited “Because I am a Girl”. (Scroll to the bottom for the slide show of the evening.)

Many thanks to our co-hosts, Anne Akers, Glow Beauty Magazine, Beth Goehring, 3T Book reviewer, Randie Levine-Miller, Tomatoes Got Talent, and Merrill Stone, Merrill’s Girls.

We are very appreciative of our sponsors, Harlequin and NY Health and Wellness.

Harlequin brought two of their wonderful authors, Pam Jenoff, and Karma Brown whose books were picked for our top 10 summer beach reads. Check out our book reviews of “Last Summer at Chelsea Beach” and “The Choices We Make.”

And many thanks to the donors of our raffle prizes which raised money for “Because I am a Girl” a wonderful program from Plan International that is lifting girls out of poverty.
