Party photos of the week: "Brain Games" Women of Baycrest
The Women of Baycrest aren't interested in bottle service. At their casino-themed fundraiser on Monday night, sponsored tables with bottles of Grey Goose went untouched because the women were too busy playing mah Jong, munching on popcorn and, of course, chit-chatting. In fact, with 300 ladies in one room, the chit-chatting got so out of hand that poor Lynn Posluns, the founder and chair of the organization, was "shushing" more than talking in her speech. The second floor ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Toronto was transformed into a Vegas-style casino and over $60,000 was raised for the Women's Brain Health Fund.
