The Jewish Pavilion's *Pearls of the Pavilion luncheon will take on a whole new spin when it is held at the Orlando Ballet on Tuesday, Jan.12. The event is generously sponsored by Geanne Share of Orlando who has served on the board of both organizations. Share noted, "My favorite thing to do is to bring people and organizations together. The luncheon is a win-win for both groups. The ladies of the Pavilion will be thoroughly entertained by the ballet. The performance will be followed by a gourmet luncheon catered by Tina Marie of Bagel King in appreciation for all they do for the Pavilion. Additionally, the young people of the ballet (also a non-profit) will have an opportunity to learn about the Pavilion and opportunities for volunteering with their elders."

According to Share, The Pearls of the Pavilion will be treated a performance from the Orlando Ballet which will feature the story of a ballerina from the time she is a little girl until she becomes a prima ballerina. Dancers of various ages will be featured throughout the performance as the ballerina grows and matures. The ballet will also offer a sneak peek from the Orlando Ballet's spring performances, showcasing a piece from either Firebird or Don Quixote. "I would like to express a big thank you Robert Hill, Artistic Director of the Orlando Ballet, and Dierdre Miles Burger, Director, Orlando Ballet School, for generously donating this intimate and very special performance," remarked Share.

The Pearls of the Jewish Pavilion Luncheon will be held on Tuesday, January at 12th at the Orlando Ballet. *Jewish Pavilion Pearls have donated a $500 minimum payable throughout the membership year, September-August. The Jewish Pavilion appreciates and welcomes all levels of donation.
