On October 24, Side by Side’s annual Reach for the Stars gala went all out to bring the ultimate ’80s prom night atmosphere to life, transforming its Irene M. Hunt School with neon, decade-accurate decor, music and entertainment. Think black-and-white checkered dance floor, shimmering foil fringe and a nostalgic prom photobooth. About 160 guests arrived in their best ’80s-chic attire. Most notably in attendance was San Anselmo Mayor Steve Burdo. And to complete the look and fulfill one of the most classic prom experiences, guests could even purchase coordinating wrist corsages and boutonnieres for their dates.
