The annual Bachelors and Spinsters Ball, held this year at the City Tavern Club on April 16, has been a fixture of the Washington DC social calendar for over half a century. Adhering to tradition, the 'B&S Ball,' as it is often referred to, is strictly for those invitees who are officially ‘unattached.' The event also supports a local charity through a silent auction held the night of the event, with hosts and local merchants providing donated items. This year the designated beneficiary was TAPS, an organization assisting the families of our fallen American heroes.
