I wore a tuxedo to a "Black-Tie Encouraged" event three years ago in Miami.
There were about 500 attendees and I was the only attendee who actually wore 
one.

institutions.
*****************************************************************************

My board is considering changing a successful annual fundraising event from 
a weekday evening, business dress, to a Saturday night, black-tie optional. 
(Personally, I think an event should be either black-tie, or not: black-tie 
optional is too ambiguous.)  Have any of you had experience with "formal" 
events?  Any stories out there, good, bad or ugly?

Thanks,
