The enchanted setting of “The Garden at Twilight” is the theme of the 29th Annual DeSales Dinner Dance on Saturday, March 20, in Billera Hall. The black-tie event will begin with cocktails at 7:00 p.m., a gourmet dinner at 8:00 p.m., followed by dancing until midnight to the tunes of The Rich Posmontier Music. All funds raised by the five-star affair benefit the DeSales student financial aid program. Since the event was first held in 1982, more than $2 million has been raised for the financial aid program.

Associate Professor Will Neuert and junior theatre design student, Jenna Snyder, of Allentown, collaborated on creating this year’s design. The enchanted setting features a pink moon floating in the sky above bronze and sapphire tent topped pavilions. Also, long swags of golden fabric and glowing white paper lanterns illuminate iris, delphiniums, hydrangeas and roses.
During the reception, which begins at 7:00 p.m., guest will enjoy assorted hors’doeuvres and a full bar. Dinner, which follows at 8:00 p.m., will include yellow and red caprese salad with basil vinaigrette.
