The traditional royalty breakfast will also follow.
Balcony and royalty breakfast tickets will be sold at the Trotter Convention Center ticket office from 6-8 p.m. on March 25-27, and from 7-7:45 p.m. on March 28. Balcony tickets are $25; breakfast tickets are $25. Tickets will be required for admission to the Charity Ball.
“Up and Away with JA” is the theme of this year’s ball, which, along with the annual Report to the Community, is the chapter’s only fundraiser. Proceeds support year-round projects and programs serving children in Lowndes County.
