HRH Prince Dimitri de Yugoslavia and Jacqueline Weld Drake hosted the annual Pachanga lunch for the Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education’s “Fiesta Gala 2019” at Mrs. Drake’s Park Avenue residence.
The Pachangas, the junior committee of this legendary gala, are sons and daughters of good families, many with Latin roots. They support the Gala effort including much of the sourcing of the silent auction, as well as providing some special flair on and off The Plaza dance floor.
Among the guests were Mrs. Weld’s niece, Alicia Lubowski-Jahn, PhD, Camila Mendoza Echavarria, a great granddaughter of President Eisenhower and the third generation of the family to participate with Casita Maria, Pachanga Committee co-chair Victor Roquette, as well as Alida Boer, Halim Bulos, Andrea Casanova, Shyne Mirella Fabros, Hunter Harris, Elizabeth Jacobi, Homero Nino, Gabriel Rivera-Barraza, Zach Yoselowitz, and Ann-Hunter Van Kirk.
Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education’s annual gala, Fiesta, will be held at The Plaza Hotel on October 15, 2019. The evening will honor Ambassador Mary Dawkins and Brigadier General Peter Dawkins, John Hardy Jewelry, Edgar Legaspi, and Juan Montoya.
