BLOOM GALA

In March, Marygrove held its annual BLOOM Gala at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. This year’s theme, “Pinstripes & Pearls –A Night at the Speakeasy,” had guests decked out in their finest Roaring ’20s attire. During the cocktail reception, guests enjoyed era-inspired drinks while bidding on silent auction items. In the main ballroom, Monseigneur Mark Ullrich offered a blessing before guests enjoyed their dinner of braised short ribs and citrus halibut. Sarah Jane & the Blue Notes provided the dinner music. The emcee for the evening was Margie Ellisor from FOX 2 News, and Fletcher Lane served as auctioneer for the live auction and fund-a-need. Co-chairs for the event were Amber Pook and Erin Rataj. After dinner, guests danced the night away to music by Griffin & the Gargoyles.
