  Extravaganza Supports Lupus!
  For the fourth consecutive year, The Lupus Foundation of America, Piedmont Chapter is hosting their Mardi Gras Gala at The Extravaganza Depot. Presented by the Dickerson Family trust, this year’s gala will be better than ever with a silent auction, raffle prizes, fortune telling, Cajun cooking and authentic crowning of Mardi Gras King and Queen. The planning committee has chosen to create a Touch of Midas for the 2010 theme. Luckily, The Extravaganza Depot has generously donated over $1,000 worth of props to complete their vision. Giant masks, gold fabric draping and authentic props used on real Mardi Gras floats will fill the room and deliver Bourbon Street to 1610 North Tryon Street in Charlotte, NC. For more information on the gala, view last years photos or Lupus Foundation Info, follow this LINK.
