EXTRA EXTRA!

E. D. Marshall Jewelers & Designer Barbara Swanberg have created a one-of-a-kind 23-carat diamond, aquamarine and gold piece for Goldie Hawn. Hawn will receive the necklace at the Arizona Foundation for Women's 17th Annual Awards Luncheon, where she will also receive the Sandra Day O'Connor Lifetime Achievement Award.  She is being honored for her work in teaching mindfulness to school-age children, through The Hawn Foundation's MindUp program.

 Academy Award-winner Goldie Hawn has dedicated much of her life to women's health issues, animal welfare, young people's social and emotional health and well-being. "the only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are," Hawn said. And it's a motto she lives every day in embracing the moment, living her passion, sharing her knowledge and rejoicing with her own family.

 The AFW Awards Luncheon is Friday, May 17, at The Phoenician. For more information, visit azfw.org.
