Bill Justice Celebrates 90 With A
Birthday Gala!
And You Can Be A Welcome Guest
90 years, that’s a milestone by anyone’s reckoning. And Bill Justice has lived them with humor, talent and passion. What better way to celebrate the life of a Disney Legend than by throwing a legendary party?
The gala is on Saturday, January 17, 2004, in the Grand Ballroom of The Disneyland Hotel at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. It will begin with a 5:00pm Reception, Silent Auction and Photo Opportunity, featuring Bill and various Disney characters. A memory room will be available to make a scrapbook page of their photo with Bill. Guests will have a chance to meet, mingle and view the auction pieces.
Two Auctions will be held through the evening, a Silent Auction and a Live Auction. Viewing for both auctions will be open at 5:00pm and the Silent Auction will begin. The auctions feature works by such well-known artists as Sam McKim, Bruce Lau, Ron Dias, Bob Gurr, Brian Blackmore, Herb Ryman and Alex Maher. This is a wonderful opportunity to own original and one-of-a-kind artwork and production pieces. The Live Auction will offer three amazing pieces of artwork. This will include the framed number one lithograph of the limited edition mural remarqued by Bill. This will be a fabulous piece and a must-have for any serious Disney animation collector.
The lavish, Black-Tie Optional dinner will begin at 6:30pm, and will feature
four or five courses depending on how you count them! This is a rich meal
consisting of Bill's favorites and there will be nothing lite about it! Diane
and Ron Miller have graciously selected and donated the wine for the dinner from
Silverado Vineyards. The centerpieces will even be edible! If this event is
anything like the extravagant and elegant holiday parties Bill and Kim host at
their home, it will be an amazing evening.
The show itself will be BIG, featuring live music, 3 pianists, 3 vocalists,
comedians, and film clips, which will include a newly discovered Walt clip. The
guest list for the gala include Disney Legends, Disney old-timers as well as
Bill’s personal friends. There are a limited number of seats available for this
private event. The price per guest for this amazing event is $150.00 if
post-marked by December 20, 2003 and after the 20
The Bill Justice 90th Birthday Gala is an event for us all! What a way to celebrate 90 years on the planet.
