American Textile History Museum's Annual Gala Benefit and 2005 Community Service Awards on Friday, October 28th.

 

This year's event drew over 150 guests and raised more than $70,000 to benefit ATHM’s programs and services. The evening featured a reception and a special viewing of the newly opened "Finishing Touches" exhibition, followed by dinner and dancing to the music of Bo Winiker and his Orchestra and the presentation of the museum's annual Community Service Award. Attire was black-tie optional and guests were encouraged to wear their favorite accessories as "finishing touches." As you can see in some of these pictures, guests did just that!

Thanks to all who participated for helping make a truly special event!
