Fisher House Red Carpet Gala at Moseley’s on Saturday March 27
March 10, 2010
When Sr. Virginia Kelleher from St. Theresa of Avila found out about Fisher House Boston coming to West Roxbury, she wanted to let them know that she and her friends want to come and cook dinner for the families. When Home Depot in Norwood found out Fisher House Boston, the first in New England, was coming and about to provide a “home away from home” for families of American troops and veterans receiving medical care, they donated two barbeque grills for their use. When Chris Dellamaregio from Edible Arrangements found out, he contacted Beth St. Pierre, Manager of Fisher House Boston, offering to send arrangements to each family upon arrival. He also rolled up his sleeves and went to town getting auction item donations and offering centerpieces for the Red Carpet Gala. When Moseley’s on the Charles and Roche Bros. Supermarkets learned that local people in the community wanted to organize a fundraiser to help pay for the construction of Fisher House Boston, they said “What can we do to be a part of this? What can we do to help injured and sick veterans and their families in a practical way?”
When people find out about Fisher House Boston coming to the West Roxbury VA’s campus, they want to help in any way they can but we need more people to know. If they know, they will help. Read more

Another Local Author: House of Versace by Deborah Ball
March 9, 2010
Versace. The very name conjures up images of outrageous glamour and bold sexuality, opulence and daring. Yet Versace is also the legacy of a great creative genius from a poor, backward part of southern Italy who transformed the fashion world through his intuitive understanding of women, and how a changing culture influenced the way they wanted to dress. The first book in English about the legendary designer, HOUSE OF VERSACE: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival (Crown; On-sale February 2, 2010; $26.00) shows how Gianni Versace, with his flamboyant sister Donatella at his side, combined his virtuosic talent and extraordinary ambition to almost single-handedly create the celebrity culture we take for granted today.
Gianni Versace was at the height of his creative powers when he was murdered in Miami Beach. The story was front page news around the world and the manhunt for his killer a media obsession. His beloved sister Donatella demanded no less than a funeral befitting an assassinated head-of-state to be held in Milan’s magnificent cathedral. In what was the ultimate fashion show, the world’s rich and beautiful – Princess Diana, Elton John, Carla Bruni, Naomi Campbell, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Anna Wintour and others – gathered to mourn the man who was one of fashion’s great pioneers.
