BALL
SPONSORS:

The
Christmas Ball is being sponsored again this year by the Portland Chamber of
Commerce in association with the Diana and Richard Stewart Foundation, “Kind
Hearts”

THIRD
ANNUAL BALL:

The
Errol Flynn Ball is the annual signature event of the marina bearing his
name.  Launched in 2009 on the 100th
anniversary of Flynn’s birth in 1909, the principal goal each year is to
benefit a worthy Portland charity

SOMETHING
NEW THIS YEAR:

Errol
Flynn was noted for his pencil thin mustache which was actually immortalized in
the Jimmy Buffet song a few years ago. 
Men attending the ball are encouraged to grow a similar mustache and
take home a prize for the one most closely resembling Flynn’s.  It is noted that most men can grow one in
about a week to 10 days.
