5th Annual Christmas Masquerade Ball
The Thousand Islands Young Leaders Organization’s (TIYLO) 5th Annual Christmas Masquerade Ball will be held December 6, 2013 from 8pm to midnight at the Bonnie Castle Resort in Alexandria Bay. Tickets for the event are available for $35 per person presale or for $40 per person at the door. Tickets can be purchased at Bonnie Castle Resort, Bella's Bistro, Alex Bay Big M and the Clayton Chamber of Commerce or online by visiting www.TIYLO.org. Affordable dinner and room packages are being offered, and can be reserved by calling Bonnie Castle Resort.
This is a formal event; ladies are encouraged to pull out that favorite special occasion dress, and for the gentlemen, it’s anywhere from suit to tux, jackets are a must! Entertainment will be provided by Nik Lite of Nik and the Nice Guys, who have previously played at Super Bowls, toured extensively and even played for past Presidents. The event will also feature a cash bar, catered hors d'ouevres and a silent auction. To help capture memories of all this fun, a photo booth will be available, courtesy of James Bass Photography. All proceeds will benefit the "Clayton Christmas Fund", a fundraiser conducted by the Clayton Sons of the American Legion Squadron #821 and the local Boy Scout Troop #46, the Alexandria Bay Backpack Program as well as to numerous local food pantries including Alexandria Bay, Hammond, Clayton, and Orleans. The fund provides baskets of food and non-perishable items, as well as grocery store gift cards, to needing families during the holiday season. Over the past four years, owing to the community's overwhelming support, this event has been able to contribute over $14,000 to local families.
TIYLO encourages all community members to attend this celebration and greatly appreciates their continued support.
TIYLO will also be hosting a “Jingle & Mingle” Holiday Party at Bella’s on Friday, November 22, from 6-8pm. The holiday party is open to the community and will offer free snacks and a cash bar. It is an opportunity to meet TIYLO members and to learn more about the organization. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with mask decorating for the Christmas Masquerade Ball. Masks and supplies will be provided at no cost to those who attend.
