It's Time for Chocolate Decadence!

The 2012 Chocolate Decadence Committee

I love chocolate. Really love chocolate. I actually list it among my interests ("volunteering, writing, chocolate") and dietary needs ("anything involving chocolate").  So when I joined the Junior League of Boca Raton and learned that they hold an annual event named Chocolate Decadence that features a whole lot of chocolate, it was just another sign that I was in the right place! Since then, I have attended Chocolate Decadence every year, and this year will be no different. 

The 11th annual Chocolate Decadence (also known as “The Sweetest Party in Town”) will be held at the Shops at Boca Center on February 9 from 6-9 p.m. Tickets are available online at www.jlbr.org. Prices are $35 for General Admission and $75 for VIP.  Since tickets for VIP always sell out, order your tickets now to avoid disappointment.

The VIP section will feature a “White Chocolate Lounge.”  This concept was created by our awesome Provisional members known as Team Chocolate Decadence. In addition to Atlas Party Rental, we have the décor support of Boca by Design who will be contributing to this all-inclusive section featuring open-bar, swag style goodie bags, and other extras making the VIP experience super-luxe.

Our VIP restaurants include City Fish, Philippe Chow, Potions in Motion Catering, Dapur, Euro Fusion, Morton's Steakhouse, Season's 52, Truluck's, and Hoffman's Chocolates. General area restaurants include Absinthe, Blue Martini (Town Center), Fitz Food Cafe, Ocean's 234, Potions in  Motion Catering, How Sweet It Is, Publix's Apron Cooking School, Sinless Cocktails, Tasti D-Lite, Rocco's Taco's, Palm Beach Confections, Melting Pot, and Johnson's Custom Cakes.

The silent auction is full of some new offerings this year. The International Polo Club of Palm Beach is auctioning Brunch and Polo for 4 (valued at $500). Elite Fantasy Events/Elite Wedding Planner has coordinated an event planning and vendor package towards a wedding or other milestone celebration which includes planning,  photography services by Alex David Photography, video services by LaFrance Film and Video, and DJ services by DJ LuisLG totaling $4,000 in value.

Honored as Community Sweethearts this year are Dr. Marta Rendon and Dr. and Donna Zoley. We are very grateful to have their support and generosity to help make our projects and programs possible.

A raffle of fabulous prizes and live entertainment will provide the “icing on the cake.” For more information, visit http://www.bocachocolate.com or email bocachocolate2012@gmail.com. 

Will I see you there?
