After dinner was served, gala patrons that included notables Lin & Sarah Arison, Emilio & Gloria Estefan, Christian Slater, Jorge & Darlene Perez, Sari & Arthur Agaston Susan Kronick, Ugo & Sara Columbo, Ambassador Steven Green, Desmond Child and Marty Margulies were joined by late night after party guests. The party moved into the transformed concert hall for a fun fete that included swinging music by Michael Andrew and the Atomic Big Band.
