Palm Ball Recognized as Most Beautiful Event

Sarasota,FL- Sarasota Magazine announced their “Parties of the Year” awards and the Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast’s Palm Ball was named “Most Beautiful Event” of 2008-2009. “Only in its second year, the Sarasota Conservation Foundation’s Palm Ball hit new heights of understated elegance. The 200 guests (small is beautiful!) strolled the four-acre Bay Preserve at Osprey at sunset-think twinkling lights in majestic live oaks on a lawn that rolled down to the bay-then dined and danced under a tent aglow with hot pink tablecloths and pretty pink roses. It was like we always imagined being in The Great Gatsby would be-without the unhappy ending”.

Albert Joerger, Founder and President of the Foundation thanked the fabulous chairs and committee for making Palm Ball 2009 unforgettable. Reservations and sponsorships are now being accepted for Palm Ball February 6, 2010. Seating is very limited. Contact Robin Roberts at 941.918.2100 for more information.
