This week Martinis Above Fourth owners Jim Simpson and Doru Tifui will once again be hosting one of the biggest community charity events of the year.

The ninth annual Charity Wreath Auction is a benefit for the Eddie Conlon Youth Fund, which provides school supplies, scholarships and housing for LGBT youth, some of whom have been turned away by their families.

Locally owned and operated Rufskin, one of the hottest international men's fashion brands, will celebrate its 10 year anniversary this Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Rufskin Boutique, 3944 30th St. in North Park.

The event will go from 6-10 pm. This party is always a great opportunity to meet and mingle with some of the designers and models ... especially the models!
