Pontarelli champions
three types of charities.
In her own words, “Children, because
they’re the beginning of life and our
future. Cancer, because it’s a tragic
part of life. And animals because they
are the voice of the voiceless”
Her white Maltese, (the
late) LuLu, greatly enhanced her life
and made her famous with their books
"The Palm Beach Society" and
International Pet Scene.
For several years they helped produce a glossy coffee table book of fancy
pets dressed in couture or dripping in
jewels from Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels,
or Chopard, riding in a Porsche with D &
G sunglasses.
These books featured the Who's Who in
the Pet World. Throughout the pages, pet
lovers pay homage to the four-legged
kids who make such a difference in their
lives.
The proceeds benefitted many local pet charities.
For three years Jane featured people and
their pets, monthly,
in a major publication.
Jane previously served as
the elected ladies' golf chairperson a
Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County.
Jane is very active with
the 3 West Club which she is very proud
to be a part.
The event generously hosted by beautiful club member and friend, Marcia
Minassian, was a night to remember.
Marcia is an accomplished Real Estate Broker with the largest company in
Westchester, Houlihan Lawrence, serving
domestic
and international markets.
Jane's birthday was also shared with two
other 3 West Club friends and members
with January birthdays, Lynn Shaw who is
the Founder
and Executive Director of Lynn’s
Warriors, a nonprofit based in New York
City, with a mission of educating the
public about human trafficking happening
in every town, city and rural area in
America.
The third birthday celebrant was Keri
Pendergast, Treasurer for Lynn's
Warriors and Finance Associate on the
Board of Governors
for 3 West Club.
The evening would not
have been as memorable without the
incredible performance by actress,
singer, dancer, Quinn Lemley, Star of
Rita Hayworth: The Heat is On and
Burlesque to Broadway.
She sang famous songs from the days of
classic Hollywood cinema.
Her brilliant accompanist, Andrew
Wheeler was also stupendous.
Last but not least,
world-renowned artist, Tatyana Horoshko
Gegera, delivered her outstanding
portrait of Jane and Joe Pontarelli with
the late and beloved, LuLu to the show.
The impressionist-style portrait was
exquisite.
A Meet and Greet showcasing her amazing
work will be hosted by 3 West Club on
March 4th, 2024.
The portrait of Jane and her family is richly deserved given all she has
done to help humanity throughout her
amazing career.
Her friends all wish her health,
happiness, prosperity and fulfillment
now and throughout the years to come.
