Mardigras Masquerade Ball
We discussed hosting a Mardigras Ball at the Civic Center February 2004-but due to such a large event and a time crunch – it was decided to work on it all year and target the gala for February 2005. Discussions, committees and planning will resume. This will be huge and famous people e.g. Sybil Shepard, Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, Faith Hill, etc…. were mentioned.
