The Carriage House at Evergreen, located off Charles Street just north of Loyola College, was anything but green recently.

The second annual Flamingo Ball, which benefited the Hampden Family Center, attracted more than 200 people to this colorful event. Rachel Mygatt, president of the HFC?s board of directors, attributed the center?s success to its “thankless volunteers and the longtime support of its board.” Speaking of which, Leonard Siems, one of those longtime board members, made the evening a family affair by bringing his wife, Virginia, and their two sons and daughters-in-law, Bob and Caryn Siems, and Porter and Karen Siems.
