On October 5, Cannstatter Volksfest Verein was transformed into a desert
fantasy land for PPh's "Midnight at the Oasis" Gala. In its
seventh year, the gala raises money for PPh's Benevolent Care Fund.
The evening began with a cocktail reception and silent auction in a room
draped like a sheik's tent. Guests were greeted by Jeanie from "I Dream
of Jeanie," A.K.A. Mary Bargerhuff, of PPh's beauty salon, Shear
Wonders.

As a harpist played
in the background, guests mingled and munched on hors d'oeuvres and sipped on our
signature "Three Wishes" cocktails. Silent auction items for every
taste were available for bid, including signed sports memorabilia, resort
packages, sporting event tickets, jewelry, and gift baskets.
At the dinner hour, belly dancer Fatima Bassmah led guests into the
banquet hall
where the "Midnight at the Oasis" theme continued. The
ceiling was draped like a luxurious desert tent. Twinkling lights
behind the stage seemed like a clear desert sky. Genie lantern centerpieces lit
from within, designed by Sally's Flowers, graced each table.
Anthony Manzo, President and CEO, and Barbara Beckman, Board Chair,
welcomed guests and thanked the corporate sponsors, volunteers, and auction
donors. The winners of the raffle prizes were drawn of the first prize of
a trip to Las Vegas
or $1,500, second prize of $500, and third prize of a
basket of cheer.
Guests feasted on fare from food stations
that featured kabobs, seafood, a carving station, and a variety of
desserts. After a sumptuous meal, guests danced the night away to the
music of Bandstand. As a memento of the evening, guests received an
insulted wine tote.
