One of the highlights of the Oracle season each year has been our performance at the Chocolate Ball, a benefit black-tie gala in support of The Arc of Howard County.

The Arc sponsors vocational and residential support and services, respite care, and other programs and services for children and adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities.

This was the fourth year in a row that Oracle has been invited to attend this very worthwhile event, and each year gets better and better.  The confections and cakes that are presented, all based on the "space" theme for this year's gala, were simply phenomenal.  You will see photos of many of these masterpieces in the gallery below.
