2017 gala
P
rovidence’s annual Gala was held on Saturday, March 25th at Lakeside Golf Club in Burbank. This year’s event was attended by approximately 250 people - nearly 90 of which were current and incoming PHS parents. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres and complimentary martinis while perusing the cocktail auction items, which were displayed once again in the beautiful garden overlooking the golf course. After the auction closed, guests made their way inside for a performance by members of the PHS choir before dinner and a lively auction prior to dancing the rest of the evening away.
