The Junior League of Youngstown celebrated its
traditional Angel Ball on December 26 at the Lake Club in Poland.
Highlighting the biennial event was the presentation of
seven angels and four male honorees, daughters and sons of league members, who
will assume future leadership and volunteer roles. They were formally introduced
to the 175 guests, as Michele Grant, league president, read their names and a
trumpet fanfare by Taylor Leonard of Poland announced their presentation.
Each of the young women wore a traditional white ball gown
with white gloves and carried a nosegay of lavender roses tied with pewter satin
ribbon.

The angels waltzed the first dance with their fathers,
while the male honorees danced with their mothers.
Following the formal presentation, a sit down dinner feted
the angels, honorees, their families and invited guests. The menu included Lake
Club Salad, a duet plate of filet mignon and rolled chicken breast stuffed with
spinach drizzled with red pepper cream sauce, wild rice, French green beans and
pecan balls with fudge. Hors d’hoeuvres of spanikopeta, stuffed mushrooms and
water chestnuts wrapped in bacon were butlered during cocktail hour. The
invocation was given by Rev. Dr. Charles J. Lundquist, grandfather of angel
Britta Carson.
The tables, appointed
in earth tone dressings of ivory linens and chocolate brown runners, were
accented with centerpieces of glass compote bowls or a trio of glass vases with
floating candles, under a bed of lavender rose pedals and votive candles. The
large rectangular king’s table at the center of the room, where the angels and
honorees and their escorts and dates were seated, was adorned with groupings of
ivory candles atop ivory candle sticks encrusted with pearls and vases holding
the angels’ nosegays, all set on a background of lavender rose pedals and votive
candles. Evergreen trees glazed in white twinkle lights graced the room, along
with large wreaths of holly and greenery tied with copper bows. From the banquet
room view, a backdrop of the Club’s scenic grounds displayed its large tree
decorated in multicolored lights and red velvet bows, accentuated by a
white-light garland stairway.
