About the show
COVID-19 closed the ballroom in 2020, so the committee rebuilt the show as a two hour live stream produced by Delack Media Group, and the Avante booking moved to 2021.
Members and sponsors hosted Watch Parties for up to ten guests, with lunch from Neoteca or Wild Asparagus, desserts, wine and florals delivered to the door. Every guest received an Attendee Box with a Prosecco split, a branded face mask and the Event Guide. Boutique Week ran November 2 to 8, with Anuyu Boutique, Tru Bleu Boutique and Gilded Rose Atelier giving back to the club.
Mr. Marco Jewelers supplied the Impact Raffle, run with Citizens for Conservation to support wildflower and garden projects. Gold and Silver Key raffles and a Super Silent auction rounded out the giving, and about 350 people tuned in.
BJWC will continue to plant in our community. Seeds of generosity, of giving, of connecting with others.
