2008 Installation Gala at the Pearl Stables not to be missed!

Please join the San Antonio Bar Association and the San Antonio Bar Foundation as we host the 2008 Bar Installation Dinner at the historic Pearl Stables on Saturday, September 6, 2008. Cocktails will be served starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by a seated dinner at 7:30 p.m. Contributing to the celebration will be the Mo-Dels, who will perform into the evening as long as the lights are on!

Most San Antonians think Pearl Brewery is named appropriately, as it is a true “pearl” of San Antonio. Designed by San Antonio architect Otto Kramer, The Pearl Brewery was built in 1894. Like the Brew House, the Stable reflects a Victorian love of grandeur and ornament. It was a barn, but its graceful elliptical shape and intricate brickwork show that it was also the Brewery’s symbol of affluence and success. Now restored back to its original splendor by recreating the dramatic entry pediment missing from the building since the 1940s, reopening the windows that originally circled the building, exposing the century-old roof structure and rebuilding the pyramid-shaped cupola, the stable is now a uniquely elegant site for special events.

Continuing the tradition of fundraising for the Community Justice Program, President-Elect Victor Negrón and Chair-Elect Gilbert Vara are calling upon all San Antonio Bar members to support this annual event. There are two ways you can help: sponsorships and contributions to the silent auction. The following sponsorship levels are available for this year’s Gala:
