Women’s Leadership Network hosts successful gala

CONWAY — The Women’s Leadership Network hosted its second annual fundraiser, The Great Gatsby Gala by the Women’s Leadership Network, on Oct. 17 at Legacy Acres. Guests dressed in Jazz Age fashion and were transported to 1922.

Two antique cars from the era greeted guests as they approached the building. They were provided by two men who are part of the Toad Suck Car Club.

The décor was lush and Bijoux Pighee was the singer, providing a smooth backdrop as several hundred guests visited. There was a speakeasy upstairs that required a password to enter. A large silent auction was also offered.

Amanda Castillo and Laz Cuban had a great time at the gala.
