The Madison Hotel's grand ballroom was the perfect setting for an elegant dinner with Delbarton friends.

Delbarton parents celebrated Valentine's Day one week early at the 2010 Fathers & Friends Sweetheart Ball on Saturday, February 6, 2010 at the Madison Hotel in Convent Station. The event was chaired by Sue and Jerry Ballanco P'09, '11. Fathers & Friends president Joe Longo '80, P'10 and his wife Pam warmly greeted parents with F&F Moderator Fr. Rembert Reilly, OSB. Bob Rouse '79, P'10 chaired the one raffle of the evening. Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the glass-lined Conservatory, then moved into the ballroom for an elegant dinner and, later, dancing to the dynamic tunes of Joe Bezzone '83 and his band, a group that gets the party started in a big way.

The Fathers & Friends dinner dance is always a good place to socialize and make new Delbarton friends. Proceeds benefit the Rob & Regina Keller Scholarship Fund for Delbarton. The event takes place on the first Saturday in February -- mark your calendars now for next year's Delbarton Fathers & Friends dinner dance on February 5, 2011!
