A Y friend who helped to organize SILO's annual "Snow Ball" fundraising gala on Jan. 25 said she's still recovering from the hugely successful but labor-intensive bash. More than five hundred people gathered in a Herr's warehouse decorated in an undersea theme -- sea-green table coverings, blue lighting, giant glowing jellyfish hanging from the ceiling, random tentacles wrapped around the columns, and a scallop shell as a backdrop for photographs.
My friend said they're still busy paying bills and crunching numbers to get a final tally on how much money they raised.
SILO is a not-for-profit social services group headquartered in Oxford. The acronym stands for Serve, Inspire and Love Others; they describe themselves as a "community organization providing monthly meals, home visits, transportation, work projects, homeless care and prevention, a path to housing and employment … and random acts of kindness."
