On December 13, guests flocked to Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga to raise funds for VAUSA Scholarships for Veterans’ Children at a new fundraiser: Vietnamese American, The Next Generation. The event, co-chaired by Rosalina Lydster and Angie Elconin, included an auction—with everything from Festival de Sole tickets to rings from Jewelry by Rosalina—that fetched more than $150,000 for the organization. Guests in attendance included Kelly Hu, Clara Shayevich, Jeannie Mai and Freddy Harris (who snagged the largest auction item at $20,000).
