On May 7, 2016, over 150 Iranian American guests gathered at the enchanting Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona Del Mar to celebrate motherhood. Guests were treated to an elegant evening filled with gourmet food, wine, and jazz music. Throughout the night, guests were invited to bid on many unique silent auction items. The silent auction received over 30 in-kind donations of gifts and services for guests to bid on and enjoy. The live jazz music was soothing and pleasant while guests connected with new and old friends. IAWF Founder, Mariam Khosravani, introduced the committee members responsible for organizing the elegant event and thanked guests. The rest of the night was spent blissfully under the stars in the magical gardens. A very special thanks to all the hardworking committee members that made this event possible. 26 | IAWF SOCAL MOTHER’S DAY IAWF SOCAL MOTHER’S DAY
