NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2015 | Washington Athletic Club Magazine | 35 GET THE PARTY STARTED Some things about Jubilee don't change. Like the party's grand prize—a brand-new car! This year's version is a cirrus white 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA250. "I was pretty speechless," last year's winner, Ben Brockhaus-Hall, says when thinking back to the moment his name was called in the Johnson Lobby Lounge. This year's grand prize will be on display in the WAC lobby all of November, and only members may buy chances to win. The winner will be announced at the start of the party. "It's a great way to get the night started," Melissa says. From there, tackling the three-story celebration is up to you. If you're looking for advice, though, Jason can help. "The best advice is don't be fashionably late," he says. "Show up on time because that's when the activities really begin—and stay mobile." Whether you attend for the camaraderie, the casino, or the couture—Jubilee is strictly a formal affair—you'll find no shortage of excitement at the Club's annual blowout. "What I love about Jubilee is connecting with other members, and the musicians— and you can dance," Alana says. "It's just great."
