40 WAC Magazine | wac.net A s the adage goes, "life imitates art," and at Jubilee 93, that statement will never be truer. e WAC's 93rd anniversary celebration looks to encapsulate the beauty behind history's greatest art and transform the Clubhouse into a living masterpiece. Along with delicious food, endless laughs, eye-catching outfits, casino gambling, live music, raucous dance floors, and ever-flowing libations, the Club's most anticipated event of the year will treat members and guests to a sensory expe- rience like never before. "e look and feel of this year's party will be different behind every door," says Director of Club Events Mary Ellen Jilek, who spearheads Jubilee planning. "We try to make every party stand out, and I can't wait to see what members think of what we do this year. It's going to be fun!"

Down the hall, partygoers can star in their own live show as karaoke takes over Hagerty's, which will feature larger-than-life photography. e 3rd Floor will once again feature the Crystal Casino. But this year, the Crystal Ballroom will transport casino-goers into the heart of the Italian Renaissance, with statuettes, candelabras, and more. "I took a lot of inspiration for the Crystal Casino from my travels to Italy this past spring," Mary Ellen says. "I want to bring that Italian vibe right to the heart of the party." e Renaissance's themes of humanity and individualism make the perfect setting for tempting Lady Luck. Better yet, volunteer as a dealer for a behind-the-tables look at the party. Sam and Lu both volunteered at last year's Jubilee. "It was a great way to meet other members and make new friends," says Lu.
