AN ARABIAN NIGHT

An Arabian Night... Symphony Ball 2005 was a fabulous evening and a successful fund raiser for the Symphony League! The evening began with a spectacular cocktail hour in the “Marketplace” generously underwritten by Germer Gertz LLP. The elegant decor of candlelight set the tone for dinner which was perfectly executed by Densen Hilton and his staff. The Symphony Belles were beautiful and, after their presentation, enjoyed the first dance with their fathers. Those in attendance also enjoyed bidding on Silent Auction items, and dancing to the music of Bulletproof Brass.

I thank all Symphony League members for you support, your volunteer hours and your commitment to help our Beaumont community. I especially thank my committee for their commitment to this project... everyone worked so hard to make the evening beautiful and to take care of all details required to plan the Ball. Lastly, I thank all of the Underwriters for supporting the Symphony Ball. These financial commitments assured the success of the Ball early, allowing energies to be focused on planning An Arabian Night! From Decorations underwriters to Snake Charmers, all proceeds affected the bottom line...Thank you all.

I would like to recognize a few contributors so that you might also thank them for supporting the Symphony League through this event!
