The event also had raffles for French Quarter getaways and dinners; as well as a Zurich Classic Fan Packs with tickets and vouchers for food and beverages.
Co-chairs were Helen Butcher, Adrienne Casbarian, Katy Casbarian, Mathilde Currence, Charles Glaser, Shannon Gunther, Bonita Hawkins, Julie Henault and Kathleen Ramsey.
Entertainment for the evening was provided by The Jerry Embree Jazz
Trio Band.
Guests were also enlightened at a technology table with demonstrations of devises and visual aids carried by the Lighthouse Store, Magnifiers & More.
