On Friday, April 4 in the Grace Covell Banquet Hall, RHA held its annual formal event, the Masquerade Ball, from 8:00 p.m. to midnight. Guests disguised themselves with glamorous dresses, suits, and elegant and stylish masks.
For guests who did not bring a mask, there were tables that offered mask-creating materials like adhesive jewels and feathers. Admission was free, but donations were encouraged. For every dollar donated, guests were given five raffle tickets. Raffle prizes included gift cards to local business such as Jamba Juice and Coldstone Ice Cream, DVDs, and an iPod Shuffle. The décor was admirable, with matching table decorations, plates, and napkins. There was delicious finger food and drinks, and a nicely decorated background for pictures. Guests arrived later than expected, but ultimately there was a good turnout, and everyone was dancing by the end of the night. Funds from the event were donated to St. Mary’s Interfaith Community Services, which provides food and many other services to the local homeless. Views: 141
