The 108th Assembly Ball was held on Nov. 1 at Ridglea Country Club. President Mrs. Thompson Earl Purvis III (Michelle Purvis) transported guests to the romantic world of Le Petit Trianon at Versailles.

Guests entered through arched hedge passages overflowing with florals before arriving in a foyer where servers greeted them with champagne. A grand French-blue bar, adorned with ornate gilt detailing and crowned with the Assembly crest, anchored the space. 

Music by Trey and The Tritones set the tone for the evening, beginning with French-influenced cocktail melodies and moving into an energetic set that kept the dance floor full well into the night. The debutantes—Miss Whitney Childers Reid, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Keller Reid and Mrs. Suzanne Keller Hyden Reid, and Miss Estella Inés Turner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Pearson Turner—made their formal bows, a cherished Assembly tradition, before joining family and friends to celebrate.
