Overseen by mb hostesses Lisa Gschwandtner and Rina Rapuano, our recent D.C. media and film party had the added benefit of being co-hosted by Mojo—a community of locally-owned businesses where card-carrying members get perks by way of benefits and savings at participating merchants, which range from boutiques and specialty shops to restaurants. In the giving spirit itself, venue Leftbank offered up hors d'oeuvres, and guests walked away with gift bags in addition to their good time.
