Oh, what a night! On October 3rd (yes, we’ve seen Mean Girls and knew what day it was), we stepped back into the Roaring Twenties for the Ruby Slipper Club Celebration at the fabulous Imperia Lake Union. With its Art Deco charm and stunning views of Lake Union, this venue set the perfect stage for a night filled with jazz, sparkle, and celebration.

As our Ruby Slipper Club members arrived, they were all decked out in fabulous flapper dresses and top hats, showing they were ready to have a great time! We raised our glasses to celebrate the incredible support of our GSBA Scholarship & Education Fund while savoring delicious bites that made our taste buds do the Charleston with joy. And let’s not forget the amazing catering at Imperia – those BLT bites were an absolute hit! Our GSBA staff is still talking about how mouthwateringly delicious they were!
