A Pair to Remember
International Diamond Center (IDC) hosted an after hours event in their Clearwater store to benefit Easterseals Florida. The
evening of fashion, prizes, raffles and drinks, plus lite bites from neighboring Bascom’s Chop House, included shopping with a
percentage of the proceeds being donated to the charity. Funds raised will help Easterseals Florida provide exceptional services,
education, outreach and advocacy, so people living with autism and other disabilities can live, learn, work and play in our community.

Hank Hines greeted guests, who were also treated to a dramatic portrayal of Vincent van Gogh, speaking about his life and the
acceptance of his artwork after his death. The museum’s current Van Gogh exhibit continues through June 13th.

wife Linda, who created sunflower
centerpieces and hand-painted
sunflowers on the wine glasses to carry
out the benefit’s Van Gogh theme.
