Junior League Theme Announcement Party

The Junior League of Dallas' theme this year for the Fund Development events has gone wild, touring Africa! On the evening of Thursday, June 10th, the Junior League of Dallas held an announcement party at Galerie Zuger with next year's Ball Chair, the lovely D'Andra Simmons. The theme announced for next year's ball is "Into Africa," the auction and casino party will be "Casino in Casablanca," and the spring fashion show will be "Catwalk through Kilamanjaro."

The gallery provided the perfect backdrop for the announcement party and guests Doris Jacobs, Lisa Ogle, Teffy Jacobs, Nancy Gopez, Katy and Lawrence Bock, and Carmaleta Whitely dressed an array of bold colors and glamorously elegant cocktail dresses. Fizzy cocktails in hand, guests toasted to the themes of next year's events while beginning to plan their most fabulous outfits yet.

We're guessing there will be lots of screenings of Out of Africa for inspiration! Sit back for one wild safari to come.
