Service Club Galas in Retrospect

A  few weeks ago, we reminisced with readers about the evolution of Day on the Terrace, a fundraiser created to publicize the Service Club’s annual Gala. Today we look back at a series of historic photographs from the Gala itself, beginning in November 2000.

 

Jean Antoniou, left, was Service Club president in 2000. She is with Sheryl Dyer and Hazel Barr, Gala chairs. According to our notes at the time, the party, Riviera Lights, was such a hit the chairs were asked to return the following year.
