The evening will include the uniquely Moroccan blend of European and Asian culture with belly dancers, a henna artist and a live band as well as cocktails, dinner and live and silent auctions. NBC-Channel 5 weekend anchor and reporter Lisa Parker will serve as master of ceremonies. Tickets are $175. All proceeds benefit Aspire Children’s Services, which offers comprehensive programs for infants and young children with developmental delays and disabilities.
