Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 23rd Annual Spring Fling 

Rancho Santa Fe, CA –  We’re not expecting any, “Phantoms” or, “Chorus Lines,” but, “Cats” are a possibility when Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC) hosts its 23rd annual Spring Fling fundraiser, “Broadway Tails,” on Saturday, June 4, 2011.  
The Spring Fling presented by The Fish Market and EDCO is San Diego’s premiere black tie event supporting animals. The event to behold will be held from 5:30 PM to Midnight under the Center’s covered arena at 6461 El Apajo Road.

“Don’t wait. Tickets to Broadway Tails are selling fast,” says HWAC Special Events Supervisor Meghan Trejo. “Co-Chairs Kerry Appleby Payne, Elizabeth Wohlford MacLeod, and Charlene Hooker, with Honorary Chairs Steve and Kathleen Flynn are making sure that their guests will leave the Fling saying, ‘That’s Entertainment’!”   

“Playbill” level seating at $250 per person includes fine food from 30 of San Diego’s best restaurants, hosted bars, martini luges, and dance music by Wayne Foster Entertainment.

  “Broadway” seating at $350 adds table service, a complimentary bottle of champagne at each table, the, “Patron’s Party” on May 26 at the Del Mar Country Club, and a commemorative gift.

Guests in the, “Tony” level at $750 per person receive all amenities plus a gourmet dinner entrée and entry into the, “Wine Opportunity Drawing.”

Theatrical Animal Trainer and author Bill Berloni will attend the Spring Fling Patrons’ Party on Thursday, May 26 at the Del Mar Country Club, 6001 Clubhouse Drive, Rancho Santa Fe, CA. Berloni will also host a book signing on May 25 at Warwick’s, 7812 Girard Avenue in La Jolla with a portion of proceeds going to HWAC.

“Three of our guests will go home with their own wine cellars,” says Trejo. “The values of these three wine collections are $1,000, $2,000, and $3,000. They feature top-rated French and California wines with ratings of 92 points and higher. What a great way to celebrate an after-party following an evening at Broadway Tails.”
