The live orchestra serenaded the honored guests as they arrived at the world-famous Ritz-Carlton for the 42nd Annual Christmas Carol Ball. Champagne and fine wines were flowing as guests were treated to a multi-course gourmet meal while enjoying the sumptuous atmosphere and festive art deco décor. The live auction and raffle lent an air of excitement and anticipation to the magical evening.
Party goers vied to out-bid each other for a one-year lease on a BMW 335i, a 2009 Master’s Package in
Atlanta, Georgia and a Las Vegas Dream Trip featuring the Penthouse Suite at the fabulous Palms. The Grand Prize Raffle winner walked away with a 2009 Honda Scooter.
After a moving and entertaining program, there was plenty of time for mingling and dancing into the night to the rhythms of the Swing Dolls and Art Deco Band. Special party favors from Kiehls and Brooks Brothers adorned the tables of the delighted revelers. The event raised $400,000 for Hoag Hospital.
