GALA, GALA IT WAS

This was but a beginning when the men learned a lot about the bone structure of their hips. Shortly after the right, left, back, front moves were completed there was a line asking who brought the Tiger Balm! Earlier in the evening the ladies had their turn at learning the native dances.
Mark Neustadt is caught by surprise with the now famous autioneer (his 4th time with the OLV Gala). Don't know whether Mark is trying to work out a bribe for one of the major auction items.



















Young and somewhat older came truly dressed to the "nines" for the event. Even Pastoral Council member Margherite Gutmann donned Hawaian gear for the event.

And this was just the beginning before "events" took on the crazy Hawaian theme at last's night successful GALA 2006 truly "celebrated" at Visitation Academy gymnasium. The crowd was lively. The crowd was large. And all that happened clearly revealed the many, many hours of hard work by parents, faculty and students who "made it happen."

To see the photos of the evening, you will have to open up the next blog posting!!!
