Our gala was a phenomenal success once again.
Thank you to all of our sponsors and members for ensuring that our 20th Anniversary celebration was a night to remember! Guess walked the red carpet amidst the glamour of our illustrious guests. The theme of iridescent silver and purple created an ambience of celebration and regality as more than 180 guests enjoyed and evening of networking and recognition, delectable food, casino fun, prize giveaways, great music and dancing. Our special evening was hosted by our very own, Doris McMillon, and was highlighted by the awarding of eleven business grants to WBO members.
