The Club was transformed into a venue fit for an international spy at the ROAR James Bond Gala Jan. 30. Upon entry, guests were greeted by several Bond Girls dressed in gowns provided by Deborah Wiggins of The Clothes Tree and “Licensed to Cure” with golden stickers in honor of their contribution to ROAR. Proceeds from the event are matched dollar for dollar by the physicians at the UAB Department of Radiation Oncology for cancer research. Decorations ranging from table decor to cutouts of Bond characters were provided by Robert Logan and Kent Clark of Backstage Florist. A heavy-hitter for the evening was the live auction, sponsored by Granger, Thagard and Associates. The highest bid was brought in by the once-in-a-lifetime “Day with Dan Aykroyd” selection, closely followed by an all-inclusive African safari trip and a Kentucky Derby experience package. After the auctions closed and the prizes were won, guests hit the dance floor to enjoy music by Total Assets. Among the several hundred guests were Richard and Martha Thompson, Dale and Victoria Benton, Joey and Kaye Moore, Gene and Pam Smith, Shan and Trish Paden, Dwight and Sandy Sandlin, Frank and Pam Barefield, Nick and Julie Sellers, Jonathan and Kima Porter, Mike and Ashley Stockard, Jenn Sides, Craig Stephens, Dr. Pat Lewis, Sarah Moseley, Joel and Tammy Smith, and Burnie and Carolyn Higginbotham.
