Kick Off Gala Season in Style – August 1
This year’s Gala Kick Off promises plenty of sparkle from the champagne to the bling! Space is strictly limited at Shreve & Co., our gracious hosts in conjunction with SF Magazine. So, be sure to RSVP in advance so you don’t miss out on the hosted hors d’oeuvres and cocktails and the opportunity to fantasize over Shreve’s collection of coveted trinkets. Ladies, hold off on buying your evening gown until you’ve seen what some of San Francisco’s most creative designers have to offer. Check out the models wearing sneak peeks of the latest collections that will be shown at a special San Francisco Fashion Week/BRAVO! Gown Show on August 22 (more info on this to follow).

Bonnie Spindler
Victorian Specialist
Company Top Producer, Zephyr Real Estate
BRAVO!Buddy: Opera & Victorians are High Note for Bonnie Spindler
It should come as no surprise that Bonnie Spindler, a regular at BRAVO! events and a longstanding ‘BRAVO! buddy’, loves the opera. The Bay Area Victorian Specialist finds many parallels between opera and Victorians, mostly in the detailed, historic storytelling: both are a dynamic, important part of the local community that should be preserved, enjoyed and accessible to all ages for generations to come. Bonnie has built a career on paying attention to the details and personal stories of her clients, so you can be sure that she will find and match the right property for each individual she works with. A careful listener, Bonnie guides her clients through the often confusing and complicated process of buying and selling real estate, helping her clients reach a financial crescendo by developing a strategic investment plan that allows them to achieve financial success and long term security.
To help increase education, interest and support of the cultural arts, particularly opera, Bonnie Spindler and Zephyr are pleased to be sponsors of the BRAVO! Gala in September. Thanks to the generous contributions of all event sponsors, the Gala is a huge success and the intrigue of opera continues to spread.
As a special members-only offer, Spindler is extending a complimentary investment strategy consultation to the first five people to contact her at 415.474.4445. If you want to achieve your financial goals through sound real estate investments, give Bonnie a call. For more information, visit her online at www.bonniespindler.com.
