In keeping with tradition, our guests will first enjoy small group socializing over cocktails and dinner, hosted by one of several embassies that graciously volunteer their support for the event. Later in the evening, the Ritz Carlton Hotel will come alive with our unforgettable VENETIAN CARNIVAL BALL. There will be a festive atmosphere of live music, dancing, various entertainments, silent auction, raffle, and more for all to enjoy.
While our guests are sure to relish this magical evening, the event also serves a higher purpose. The Embassies Dinner and Ball is one of IWC’s most significant fundraising endeavors, and all proceeds will provide support for IWC Charities in Russia. We express our extreme gratitude to all who contribute to the event’s success each year. The ball would not be possible without you!
Please join us on 17 February for the IWC Embassies Dinner and Ball 2012 – an evening of unmatched splendor, elegance and romance. You do not have to be a member of the IWC to attend this event so make sure to tell all your friends, colleagues and family.
