SOUL & SUPPER

The first of what organizers hope will be many events like it took over Duluth’s Stonewood Ranch Estates venue in late August to connect selected guests over fine food and entertainment.

Soul & Supper: A Night with Mali Wilson featured a cocktail hour, a farm-to-table dinner co-curated by Todd Dae Kulper, head chef at UMI in Buckhead, and Wilson, a Grammy-nominated performer who also sang, backed by a band of accomplished musicians. Organized by Eric Donovan Wilson and hosted by Andre Melchionda of sponsor Arrivato Caviar, the evening raised more than $27,000 for Mali’s nonprofit, Earth Angel Worldwide, and the Earth Girl campus at Stonewood.

Fashion Donation to the High

The High Museum of Art received a multimillion-dollar donation from fashion entrepreneur and long-time board member Lauren Amos. The gift establishes the Lauren Amos Fashion Project, a five-year initiative that marks the museum's first multi-faceted commitment to fashion design. The project will fund exhibitions, a new curatorial position and additional related programs. Its inaugural program will support Viktor&Rolf Fashion Statements, the first major retrospective of the Dutch couture designers set for its U.S. debut at the High later this fall. This donation recognizes the High's successful history of fashion-focused exhibitions and positions the museum to present more of them in the future.

PLAYING IN PLAIN SIGHT

Sports teams you may not have known were out there!

Atlanta is well-known for its major league teams that often garner most of the sports spotlight. But the local athletic scene is also home to leagues that play regularly while flying under the radar of major media attention. Expand your sports experience with a visit to these competitions.

INTENNSE

Imagine Wimbledon, with its hushed crowds and elegantly attired attendees. Then forget all that. Intennse Atlanta tosses traditional etiquette rules and plays fast-paced, high-energy tennis matches.

“The crowd is expected to behave like regular sports fans,” says CEO Charles Allen. “They can yell and scream as they please. That’s a big difference from traditional tennis.”

Games are played on a specially designed single court that puts fans close to the action. Teams play timed 30-minute matches to rack up as many points as possible. Players only get one serve, and coaches can make live substitutions while shouting directions from the sidelines. “Players and coaches are free to talk during and between points,” Allen says. “You might even see a coach go out there and body slam a player.”

This year marked Intennse’s inaugural season that ran from June through August. Home games take place at the Intennse Arena in Decatur.

ATLANTA VIBE

Part of the Pro Volleyball Federation, the Atlanta Vibe features women players at the top of their game who have been recruited from colleges and international clubs. Starting in January, the team plays 28 indoor games away and at home at Gas South Arena in Duluth. The Vibe debuted in January 2024 with a contest against the Omaha Supernovas that set an attendance record for women’s professional volleyball. That year, the team was also the regular season champions but lost the run for the top title in the semifinals.

Last night’s 10th Annual for attendees knocked it out of the park! $1.47M was raised to benefit Hope Lodge and we were so proud to sponsor. As a breast cancer survivor, it has been my mission over the past 3 years to help bring much-needed awareness and help raise funds for cancer treatment, research, and families’ needs. We had a great time seeing old friends, making new ones, and celebrating survivorship!

The event was emceed by the lovely and talented and our auctioneer (actor) who is a huge supporter of ACS, was SO energetic and fun that we were all inspired to do MORE!

PLANES, TRAINS AND (HOPEFULLY NO) TANTRUMS

Tips from our writers on traveling sanely with little kids!

Forget packing light. When you’re traveling with small children, it’s all about planning heavy. To help you swap meltdowns for memories, we asked our team of parenting pros and frequent travelers to dish out their best advice for hitting the road or skies with little ones in tow.

More Is More Is More

If you take only one thing from this article, let it be this: pack more snacks. Then pack more than that. “Bring five times more than you think you’ll need,” Lauren Finney Harden says. “Snacks are activities when you’re on the road.” Emily Foley agrees: “Always have snacks in every pocket, tote and bag. Don’t wait for your kids to ask—offer them proactively before they get hangry.”

Along those same lines, H.M. Cauley, whose kids are grown, says, “Be prepared to distract them!” She still remembers one of the best examples of being prepared was a superhero mom she saw on a flight who pulled snacks, books and even a Hot Wheels racetrack out of her “Mary Poppins bag” mid-air for her two boys.

Foley agrees never to underestimate the power of preparedness— and a good toy rotation. “Whenever you travel, have a new game, sticker book, toy or activity book that you don’t give them until you start the trip. The newness keeps them occupied for longer,” she says...

LA DOLCE VITA

Cucina Baci celebrates Sardinian soul with hands-on experiences.

The idea for Cucina Baci was born from the need to provide pizza for the Buck’s Sports Barn, the children’s event venue next door. “We do over 500 kids’ birthday parties a year,” says Paul Rodgers, owner of both concepts, located in Buckhead. “Everyone orders pizza, so making our own pizzas seemed to be the next obvious step.”

Cucina Baci opened in fall 2024, but just a week later, Hurricane Helene destroyed the market, along with its pizza oven. Rather than shutter the space, Rodgers reimagined Cucina Baci as an Italian market and cafe serving sandwiches, salads, coffee and wine.

How do Cucina Baci’s restaurant, market and wine bar come together to provide a cohesive Italian experience?

We use the products we carry in our market—pasta, sauces, cheeses, wines—and build our menu and wine pairings around them. It’s all connected. Guests can try something delicious, then walk over and grab the ingredients to recreate it at home...
