Foundation Supporters Enjoy

An Evening At Hoja Nueva

Hoja Nueva, the new upscale restaurant at the Westin Colonnade put on quite a show for Coral Gables Community Foundation’s

recent fine wine dining experience on May 12th.  Executive Chef Alain Dumas prepared a fabulous menu with Justin Molis,

of  Southern Wines,  selecting a wine to complement each of the five courses.  The event began with a champagne

reception sponsored by Foundation board member, Dottie Corbett.  To add to the festivities, Foundation Secretary, John Adams,

with guitar in hand, entertained the crowd with his repertoire of songs during the reception and

following dinner. A well respected attorney by day, Adams is equally skilled as an entertainer and the crowd loved him. 

The dinner was held in a private room at Hoja Nueva that was a perfect setting for a group of 30 – 40 people with a nice view,

comfortable seating and luxurious ambience.  In fact, the entertainment was so good and the seating so comfortable

that no one wanted to leave.  Among the many people enjoying the evening were CGCF Vice Chairman, Jerry Santeiro;

Past Chairman, Yoli Woodbridge; board members John Roscio, Anne Grealy, Stanley Davidson.  Other guests included  Susan Adams;

John Sorgie and Annie Goodrich; Yvonne Barkley; Wanda and Mark Trouba; Lynn Bauer; Enid Miguez;

David and Danya Green; Stony Stonebraker; Ben and Stacey DeMeo; WD Wright;

Maricris Longo and Fernando Menoyo; and Cathie Burns, who volunteered her time with registration.
