LA FREE CLINIC HONORS BARBARA MILLER FOX
AT "LAUGHING MATTERS"

Barbara Miller Fox was presented the AnnaBell Award by Los Angeles Free Clinic Auxiliary founder and co-chair Greta Furst at the fifth annual Laughing Matters luncheon in the Beverly Hills Hotel. Award recipient Fox, a woman who is described as a community treasure who has given selflessly of her time, energy and financial assets to the LAFC, as well as many other fine organizations, was also honored in 2001 by Temple Israel as Distinguished Woman of the Year, and was also awarded The National Philanthropy Award by the City of Los Angles.

Fox graciously thanked Greta Furst, the Auxiliary members, and everyone at the clinic for honoring her with the fifth AnnaBelle Award. The unique award was created in honor of Annabelle Wasserstein, an elegant lady who devoted a lifetime of service to the community, and whose special gentle sense of humor made her the perfect person to be acknowledged with the Auxiliary's premiere Laughing Matters award in 2001. It was designed to give kudos to exceptional women who give freely to their community without expecting any recognition. Other AnnaBell award recipients include Soraya Malamed 2002, Rosa Kunin 2003, and Joan Seidel 2004.

The Fifth Annual "Laughing Matters" panel included renowned celebrities Joe Bologna, Emcee, Renee Taylor, moderator and panelists Ed Asner, Theodore Bikel, Lisa Birnbach, Patrick Cassidy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Klugman, Barbara Minkus, and Charlotte Rae, who gave guests a million dollars worth of laughs discussing topics that included their worst review, best review, and examples of the important part tragedy has played in comedic events in their individual lives.

Everyone imaginable was there, including Tom Cruise and his darling Katie, who may very well end up as the next Mrs. Cruise if things keep moving at this pace. Personally, I think it is fun to see a couple who is so happy! Every detail of the event was perfectly planned in advance, and a good time was had by all. The women guests at Oprah's celebrity showcase event were all given a pair of earrings valued at two hundred thousand dollars. Is this "Bling-Bling" heaven, or what?
