The Jewel Ball – Gentlemen’s Serenade

The Gentlemen’s Serenade was held on June 5th at Mission Hills Country Club. The Gentlemen of The Jewel Ball learned about proper etiquette, how to tie a bow tie and entertained their mothers and grandmothers with a serenade of three songs. Members of the 2014 and 2015 classes of Gentlemen were on hand to assist with the serenade. Dan Bolen was the chairman, and Hunter Wolbach served as the co-chairman.
