A birthday cake centered each table -- both a decoration and dessert -- and a dozen toasts were made to honor Selma Rubin on her 90th birthday. The party was a fundraiser for Santa Barbara Community Action Network and held in the social hall of Congregation B'nai B'rith.
The event committee planned an evening of fun, spoofs, a trip down memory lane and creative singalong songs, including one with lyrics from "The Cat in the Hat," to celebrate the beloved lady known for always wearing a hat.
The "birthday girl" is well known for her involvement in more than 30 organizations in the community, including Community Environmental Council, Fund for Santa Barbara, Legal Defense Center, American Civil Liberties Union, Gaviota Coast Conservancy, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, Friendship Center, Alzheimer's Association, Santa Barbara Women's Political Committee, Casa Esperanza homeless shelter, Sierra Club, Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, Congress of Racial Equality, UCSB Hillel, Environmental Defense Center and Coalition Against Gun Violence.
Serving on the tribute organizing committee were Barbie Deutsch, BL Borovay and president of SBCAN George Relles, Tim Allison, Ignacio Alarcon, Jenny Benjamin, Patricia Duffy, Ed Maschke, Jill Dexter, Ruth Ackerman and David Fortson and his wife, Terra Basche.
Naomi Schwartz, retired 1st District county supervisor, was the master of ceremonies, and Richard and Mickey Flacks created and led the songs with pianist Renee Hamaty.
Hosts and patrons included Andrew and Adrianne Davis, Kathleen and Don Scott, Sara Miller McCune, Judy Bennett, Carla Frisk, George Thurlow, Tybie and Bernie Kirtman, Maryanne Mott and husband Herman Warsh, David and Kitty Peri, Ilene Pritikin, Bob and Carol Bason, Loretta Redd and Gail Marshall, former 3rd District county supervisor.
Elected officials also on the host committee included Susan Rose, 2nd District county supervisor and her husband, Allan Ghitterman; Santa Barbara Mayor Marty Blum and her husband, Dr. Joseph Blum; and City Council members Iya Falcone and husband Vincent, Roger Horton and wife Eileen, Helene Schneider, Das Williams; and Goleta City Council member Margaret Connell.
Ghita Ginberg was among the sponsors at the celebration as well as David and Sharon Landecker; Mary Ellen Wylie, assistant to Salud Carbajal, and her husband, Dennis; June Sochel; John and Hanne Sonquist; Judy and Rob Egenolf; Nancy Weiss and husband Marc Chytilo; and Dr. Dave Bearman and Lily Maestas.
U.S. Rep. Lois Capps led off the round of clever toasts, and among the presenters were Assemblyman Pedro Nava, former Assemblywoman Hannah-Beth Jackson, there with husband Judge George Eskin, and Rabbi Steve Cohen of Congregation B'nai B'rith, who toasted, "To Selma, we are all proud of our long line of Jewish women heroes."
Yes!
