Decade Society 26th Annual Gala Parisian Nights The Decade Society held its 26th annual ball and charity auction at the Stephen Decatur House on March 19. Well-dressed guests partied to the sounds of the TFC Band while celebrating this year’s theme, “Parisian Nights.” The Decade Society is a group of young professionals who have been raising money to support local charities since 1979. This year, the society’s grant was awarded to Fair Chance, which provides support to children and families living east of the Anacostia River. Fair Chance’s founder, Amanda Taylor Marshall, was one of Washington Life’s 2004 Women of Substance and Style. Photos by Zaid Hamid |
