                    The fashion arrivals and cocktails started about 7, couture gowns and smart tuxedos began to fill the enormous Grand Central ballroom. There was a sophisticated, old-world charm in the air and it was palpable. Visual delights were at every turn (or twist and turn as I like to do)- wonderful colors and vibrant embellishments adorned the tables and guest attire. The mingling finished about 8:30 – dinner, an auction and dancing followed.
