Belle Brezing Martini
Nationally known as a madam, Belle Brezing was born June 16, 1860, and passed away August 11,1940. She ran a number of brothels in the downtown Lexington area. The character of Belle Watling from Gone with the Wind was said to be loosely based on Brezing. She operated her bordello for a short time at 194 North Upper Street, which is the same building in which Jonathan at Gratz Park is now located. This martini was developed in her honor, with the help of my good friend and colleague T. J. Cox.
Serves 1
Ingredients:
2 ounces Bourbon
1 ounce Grand Marnier
1 ounce
pomegranate liqueur
Splash of cranberry juice

Method:

Dreaming of a Dress Event!
The Wedding Center, Inc.
258 Plaza Drive, Lex, KY 40503
859.278.3756
This program is in its 4th year and continues to evolve and grow…what started out as simple donation to help a few girls has now turned into a wonderful enrichment and development program for inner city young ladies.
It works like this:
A young lady must take self improvement classes like art education, self improvement, etiquette etc……after completing the required courses she is then qualified to receive a gown for her junior or senior prom. The Lexington Fayette Urban County Government partners with The Wedding Center, Inc. to make this Dreaming of a Dress Program a reality for these young ladies. This year there were only 20 spots available for the scholarship….next year they hope to fill more. There were over 150 girls that applied for this program [this year], so with your continued help we can assist them in the future.
The scholarship includes gowns, shoes, and even hair and cosmetics for a wonderful evening of fashion, self improvement and the feeling of satisfaction! Following selection of their gowns there is a fashion show where the girls show off their gowns for everyone.
What can you do to help?
*Donate a gently worn gown you no longer can use
*Ask others for donations
*Set up a Dreaming of a Dress Donation Station in your area
*Join up to help these girls celebrate their accomplishment and select their Dream Gown

What do you love most about non-profit work and what are some of the challenges you face?
I love working for an organization and seeing the difference in the patients we treat. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) has invested over $680 million in blood cancer research since 1949 (nearly 70 million last year alone). But aside from the astonishing figures, a lot of what I do goes right back to our local patients and their families. Some of the services we provide are patient education programs; family support groups; financial aid; co-pay assistance programs and my favorite service “The Trish Greene back to school program for children with cancer” (which provides resources and support to increase communication among healthcare professionals, parents, children and school personnel to smooth the transition back to school)…
The biggest challenge I am facing is our weakening economy. Corporations and individuals are donating less to charitable causes as they are encountering financial hardships of their own. However, seeing a young child in a hospital room undergoing chemotherapy was enough for me to face that challenge head on and I just won’t accept it..
The survival rate for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia/Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia has increased from 4% in 1960 to 90% in 2009… My goal is to see a cure!!
