Masquerade- A Success!

In collaboration with MIT AAA & CSC and Tufts AAA, Harvard AAA hosted one of the most successful events of the season. But I'm not just talking about success in terms of numbers (550+ attendees, $1500+ for the Boston Chinatown Library Campaign...just saying), the event itself was HOT.

We. tore. up. the. dancefloor. That's right. DJ Zeus and DJ Aja put on some sick tracks, and the rest of the night was history. There were students from BC, BU, Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, Tufts, and Wellesley who filled up every inch of the the Sheraton ballroom. Only at Masquerade can you see over 500 beautifully dressed people get low at the same time ;)

Alas the night had to end, and there was a collective groan when the music cut-off and the lights came on. For those of you who missed it-- don't worry-- Masquerade will happen again next year...and it will be even better.


Special thanks to AAA board. You guys are the best.

Love,
Rose

Whoa...so many events!
