Kids were very well behaved and had fun. Principal of schools had to confirm Each student who purchased a ticket and was on the list (had to name school). Only could by one ticket. Not transferable. Last year random people showed up including over age. And the girl who had to go to hospital at check in (so drinking before) was not known to others or the chaperones.

Lots of police. Chaperones posted in bathrooms. You couldn’t leave the grounds without an adult.

DJ and “hype” girls were fun.

Mostly Catholic schools. Those are not private schools.



What? 4 of the 6 above are independant private catholic schools. Only 2 are parochial schools.


This is it current. No one from Holton on the committee.

How is this party different than the thousands of galas thrown throughout the DC area raising money for many great causes. I attended one a few weeks ago and over $100,000 was raised for the NIH Children's Inn. I purchased an expensive dress and my husband wore his tux. We all drank and ate and had a great time. All to raise money to help families of sick people. Should I have declined this invitation and just donated the money I would have spent on my dress? My table was already paid for. But if I declined, I would not have been there to purchase the auction items or make my large donation during he raise the paddle portion of the live auction. You see how these parties work to raise money? Like another PP said, why can't it be a win win? If it weren't for all of these parties, these organizations would be severely struggling. So get over it!


Yes. Plus the money you spent during the raise the paddle portion of the live auction (whatever that is).


But the truth is that I would not likely give nearly as much. If I get a letter in the mail asking for money, I might give a check for $100. But at the event I gave over $1000. Part of it is showing appreciation to your hosts at the party. They invite you to their table hoping you will give in a big way. And we gladly do not just because it is a great cause, but also to thank our host for including us in their party.


Then that makes it all ok, right?


DP. Yes, charity galas and parties are ok.


+1 . I work in development.

Diner en Blanc is a longstanding tradition.


I don't know if "since 1988" qualifies as longstanding, but in any case, this is not that.
