The 23rd annual Magnolia Ball, Bulloch Hall's major annual fund-raiser, will be held at the Atlanta Country Club June 14.
The black tie event will be chaired by former Roswell City Councilman Ed Tate, and will feature silent and live auctions, dining and dancing to the music of "Grapevine."
Malon D. Mimms Company is the presenting sponsor, along with other local sponsors Lincoln Capitol Advisors, Bob Hagan and Healthcare Service.
This year's theme is 'The Roaring Twenties'. The decorations, favors and entertainment will reflect the extravagance and glamour of the early '20s and participants are encouraged to dress accordingly.
Tickets are $125 per person. For reservations call Pam Billingsley at 770-992-1731, ext. 223.
Funds raised by this year's Ball are earmarked for two projects: the Children's Museum room and restoration of the original open-hearth fireplace in the Bulloch Hall kitchen.
Bulloch Hall in historic Roswell is the 1840 childhood home of Mittie Bulloch, President Theodore Roosevelt's mother, and is open for tours daily.
