The Ballet Guild of Birmingham is presenting 58 young women during its 57th anniversary Ball of Roses on June 3 in the East Room of the Country Club of Birmingham. This year’s ball is sponsored by Ashley Andrews Jackson, the president of the Ballet Guild of Birmingham, and executive vicepresident of the Carlton Posey Fountain. Founded in 1959, the Ballet Guild of Birmingham was organized to promote and foster the development of the Alabama Ballet in Birmingham. Since its inception, the guild has raised

more than $1 million for the ballet. The first Ball of Roses was held in August 1961, presenting 11
young Birmingham women. This year, the Ball of Roses continues as a vital fundraiser for the Alabama Ballet. The Ball of Roses chairman Beverly Long Crawford and cochairman Emory Richardson Ratliff have collaborated with Carole Sullivan of Lagniappe Designs on a dreamy palette of lavender and cream for the ball decor. The Men’s Committee Dinner chair, Mackin McKinney Thompson, has planned a formal seated dinner for donors before the young women are presented. ❖
