Clearwater’s Debutante Courtier Ball
The Debutante Club of Clearwater’s 2019 Debutante Courtier Ball, chaired by Ela Landegger and Beth McMullen, was held

ceremonies Gil McAuthor during the formal presentation in the hall’s newly expanded grand lobby. A seated dinner and dancing
to the music of DeLeon followed in the Margarete Heye Great Room.

Laurel Wanger, Avery Welz and Austi Critchfield (not pictured).
