Lynn Wyatt, Hilda Ochoa-Brillembourg, and Santiago Calatrava were honored at the “2014 Fiesta” gala benefiting the Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education at The Plaza in New York City on October 20, 2014.  As has become the tradition, Jacqueline Weld Drake, Aileen Mehle, and Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia again served as the Dinner Chairmen. Christopher Mason was a fantastic master ceremonies. This year marked Casita Maria’s 80th year in New York City - no small feat for any organization. The benefit returned to The Plaza Hotel for this milestone year. Cocktails were served in the Terrace Room and guests were then ushered upstairs to The Grand Ballroom where dinner was served and guests danced into the early morning hours to the music of The Bob Hardwick Sound and his Latino All Star Sound. 

Always one of New York’s most glamorous parties, Fiesta brought together the international social elite from five continents, and always with a South American flair, to support the organization’s extraordinarily worthy work with children, teenagers, and their families in the South Bronx. 
The event hosted over 400 hundred guests including Fabiola Arias, Tony Bechara, Kelly Bensimon, Geoffrey Bradfield, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Brodsky, The Honorable Sila Calderon, Clara Brillembourg Chopivsky, Clara Tamayo de Brillembourg, Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Juan Pablo and Barbara del Valle, Beth Rudin DeWoody, John Demsey, Elise and Thomas Enders, Mr. and Mrs. Francesco Galesi, Federico and Jessica Garza-Bueron, Jamee and Peter Gregory, Audrey and Martin Gruss, Charles and Ann Desollar Hale, Dr. and Mrs. William Haseltine, Jamie and Cynthia Kempner, Michele Gerber Klein, Peter Lyden, Ann Nitze, Florence Peyrelongue, Rick & Leticia Presutti, Ann Rapp, Benigno Rodriguez-Cubenas, Patric Ruiz-Healy, Jeannette Sanger, Yolanda Santos, Jean and Martin Shafiroff, Barbara Cirkva Shumacher, Barbara and Donald Tober, Carmen Unanue, Adrienne and Gianluigi Vittadini, Andreas and Elizabeth von der Goltz, Tanya Rivero Warren and Kristi Witker.
The Fiesta Honorary Chairs were Ana Cristina Alvarado and Maria Eugenia & William Haseltine.
The Pachanga Chairmen were Alexandre J. Leviant and Florence Peyrelongue. 
Guests enjoyed an amazing menu: the appetizer will include a Black Mission Fig and Chevre Tart, followed by an entrée of a Filet Mignon served with a Broccolini, Spaghetti Squash, and Potato Dauphiuose, in a Bordelaise Sauce; dessert will include a dark chocolate Panna Cotta served with roasted Stone Fruit, Raspberries, and Toffee Nuts.
