There has to be a better name for the event than White Gala. How about Bocce Benefit or something. | -------------------Re: White Gala 2020

Thank you Daniel. We actually call it The "Bocce Ball" But people dont want to get it confused with the tournament hence the white gala. Added to it.

I agree with Daniel. It sounds like it is only for White people only! Maybe Dress in White Gala? | -------------------Re: White Gala 2020

Everlyn, the name of the Gala is “The Bocce Ball” White Gala as it was stated in Message 3 replied to by the Bocce Ball Committee when they clarified the name to Daniel on March 7th. It is my belief they have the right to call it whatever they want and as a person who purchased and attended the 2019 Gala I can tell you the tickets were bilingual, Spanish and English. I am sure they will post the location when tickets go on sale. Everyone who attended 2019 Gala, knows they don’t have to step anything up. The Gala from the moment you arrived to the moment you left was magical. The decoration, lighting, food, entertainment was perfect, you could tell a lot of thought, time and work went into each and every decision, A fabulous time was had by all in attendance. We will be lining up for tickets once they go on sale in December. Wether you support the Bocce Committee or not they are the only fundraiser in La Manzanilla who post their financial summary for all of us to see, and I for one greatly appreciate this. I am sick of people saying we have open books, if they do post them.

Just a correction please - Cisco's Amigos since we started 15 years ago has always posted the amount of money we raise at our fundraisers, what our spay and neuter clinics cost and how many animals we operate on and help with medical care. So far we are over 5500 animals . | -------------------Re: White Gala 2020

To whomever knows; I would like to make sure The White Gala it is indeed going to be on Tuesday, January 21st of 2020. This year, you held it on Monday, January 21st, and I had to move the StorySlam to a Thursday night. Can someone please verify that it will be on Tuesday, January 21st in 2020?

Itʻs just a name traditionally used and understood to mean "wear white to an elegant event" without any other connotation, and attended by people of various colours in my experience. Perhaps itʻs a more British saying? as iʻm familiar with its use in Canada. | -------------------Re: White Gala 2020

I did some searching, "white gala" gets About 701,000 results and "gala in white" gets About 6,340,000 results. Meaning gala in white is the more common way of saying a party where you wear white clothes.

Why can’t it just be called Dinner En Blanc? That’s the original name when these all in white dinners first started. Or doesn’t anyone know, or speak French? Still, for $1000 pesos you gotta kick the advertising up a notch and White Ball just doesn’t cut it. How about telling us where it’s going to be next winter? And lastly, so Figaro didn’t make it without Pino? Such a shame. | ------------------- |
