3 About the Gala... Dear Fellow Members, It's going to be a full evening, with fabulous food & drink, entertainment, dancing to a live band, and good company. Although we've called it Masquerade, masks are optional (but will add to the fun!) and dress is black tie, with a touch of the Roaring Twenties if you feel so inspired. We've added an exciting new element this year: after dinner, our The Blue Angel Cabaret will feature Lindsay Sutherland Boal performing songs of Kurt Weill & the Weimar Cabaret. We are also excited to announce that we were once more able to get Big Rude Jake and his band, who were so popular with our guests last year -- both with those who enjoyed dancing and those who preferred to listen. Chef Patrick Desmoulins has a wonderful dinner planned for us. See left.
