Ball of Roses By SARA HOOD
Thirty-seven young women will be presented at the annual Ball of Roses on Saturday, June 4 at the Country Club of Birmingham, East Room with the presentation beginning at 9 p.m. The Ball of Roses is sponsored by the Ballet Guild of Birmingham, President Shannon Upchurch Holt and Executive VicePresident Caroline Coats Woods. The First Ball of Roses was held in August of 1961. Eleven young women from Birmingham were presented. Each year, the ball is sponsored by the Ballet Guild of Birmingham, an invitational organization of young women dedicated to supporting the ballet in Birmingham through fundraising and volunteer work. Founded in 1959, the Ballet Guild was organized to promote and foster development of ballet in Birmingham in addition to raising funds for its support.
Since its inception, the Ballet Guild has raised more than $1 million for the Alabama Ballet. This year, the Ball of Roses celebrates its 51st anniversary and continues to serve as a vital fundraiser for the Alabama Ballet. Ball of Roses Chair Elizabeth Sandner Rich and Ball Co-Chair Katherine Barrow Kettig have collaborated with Carole Sullivan of Lagniappe Designs on a colorful palette and organic garden theme for the ball décor. Ball participants not pictured are Cassell Anne Adams, Julia Dorothy Andrews, Elizabeth Tucker Bolvig, Anna Kathryn Clark, Margeret Alice Drew, Sarabeth Sutton Henry, Rebecca Lucille Kissel, Alice Ray Lucas, Laura Kendall Owens, Renny Ellen Ratliff, Sarah Silverstein, Martha Kennan Wood and Rebecca Claire Woodall.
