Patrons of the Prado gala ChairsMerridee Book, Roxi Link and Julie Cowan Novak alongside President Nancie Geller transported guests to travel back in time and across the pond to Paris in an era of dash and daring. This year’s theme Midnight in Paris took place at Spreckels Organ Pavilion helping further their mission to support the distinguished array of arts, science and cultural organizations that occupy the Prado in Balboa Park.
The monumental Tour Eiffel towered over the guests setting the stage as they entered the outdoor ballroom. Incroyable! Among those in attendance were Una Davis, Jack McGrory, Stacey Hogan, Mayor Todd Gloria, Lenny Leszczynski, Caroline Wohl, Laura Cinelli, Emily Rex, Sara Napoli, Adam Day, Don Vaughn, Kathryn Vaughn, Kristi Pieper, Laura Applegate, Reena Horowitz, and Fred Link, who added sparkle to the evening with their presence.
