The annual March of Dimes
Ball held Friday at Congress
sional Country Club can be
scored as a real success. Icy
roads hampered some but for
the almost 300 that did make
it, 1t was a good party.
AS the guests arrived, many
from various cocktail and din
ner parties around the area,
they were quick to notice the
decorations. Hundreds of multi
colored balloons served as a
background for the orchestra,
while clusters of gold balloons
were interspersed across the
ceiling between giant pastel
colored ones.
Ball Chairman, Mrs. Anita
Bogley, made a quick announce
ment after the last dance, say
ing that the giant size balloons
would sell for a 81 contribution
to the March Dimes. They went
like hot cakes.
Before their arrival at the
Ball, Sue and Dick Moran enter
tanned a group for dinner, as did
Dot and Don Harris. The Tom
Blackwoods invited guests for
cocktails, and the Beauford Hay
denS entertained about forty of
their friends for cocktails.
