Please join us for “Ladies Night Out” at the Evening of Style! Here’s how it works:
-
Host a table, grab 7 friends, and enjoy an entertaining evening of fashion and fun!
-
Decide on a table theme and plan to decorate your table and dress in coordinating attire. It can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. Click here for a link to last year’s photo gallery for inspiration!
-
IMPORTANT: NO glitter (on anything or anyone, pretty please), feathers, feather boas, confetti, sequins, balloons, live animals, rice, or birdseed. Only freestanding decorations allowed and all decorations must be removed at the close of the event.

Coordinate your group donation for the Bash on Buffalo. As a table, your group is responsible for bringing a donation or auction package for the Bash.
