Another Amazing Gala!




A marvelously successful event, the 6th Annual Gala in the Garden was held last Saturday night in the Sotterley Colonial Revival Gardens! "On the Road to Morocco" we were all swept away to this far away land of tantalizing colors, luscious spices, nectarous cocktails, and dazzling dancers and music! The exotic Sotterley Suq was bursting with live & silent auction treasures, which prompted generous bidding from the guests. We thank all who attended this year!
 
As our second largest fundraising event of the year, the Gala in the Garden allows Historic Sotterley, Inc. to continue our mission of preserving, researching, and interpreting our diverse cultures and environments and to serve the world as an educational, cultural, and community resource. This could not be possible without the generous support of the following:
