What should I wear?
This is a semi-formal event so we recommend that women wear a cocktail dress, pant suit or dress suit. One can also wear dressy tops and dress pants. We encourage dresses to the knees or longer but not floor length, as that would be formal dress. Dressy business suits, cocktail dresses, or anything modest but classy are all good choices.

What NOT to wear: Jeans, t-shirts, flannel, flip flops, sneakers, jerseys, ripped or torn clothing , mesh, bandanas, track suits, mini and micro-mini skirts are NOT permitted.

For men, semi-formal attire means wearing a full suit, with vests being optional. A tie, either bow or straight, should be worn, and the shirt should be a simple button down. Suit fabric choices can be wool, gabardine or cashmere. Linen or seersucker suits are not formal enough for semi-formal attire. Dress shoes like oxfords are worn. It is not necessary to wear a tuxedo, and one might be considered a bit overdressed for a semi-formal event showing up in a tux.

Where can I park?
There is street parking but because we cannot guarantee availability, we highly recommend parking at the Hilton Hotel parking garage. Our event has a terrific parking rate of $5. Valet parking is also available.
