We had a Ball

Last night was the first ever South Orange President's Harvest Ball to benefit the new South Orange Middle School After-School Enrichment Program. The event was held at SOPAC and was sold out with over 200 people in attendance. Most people were decked out very nicely in "festive attire" and everyone seemed to have a nice time for a great cause.


The evening began with a jazz band band, followed by remarks by the Event Chair, Karen Hartshorn Hilton, School Superintendent Brian Osborne and Village President Douglas Newman. We were then treated to two performances by the Middle School Choir and then "Walk the Dog" rocked the house for the rest of the evening.




It was great to see so many familiar faces, as well as many new ones come out celebrate South Orange and raise money for a good cause. We even had representation from Maplewood, with Mayor Profeta showing us his moves on the dance floor.

A big THANK YOU to the Event Committee, sponsors, donors and everyone who helped make this event happen. Let's hope this becomes an annual event.
