Arthur Murray Hosts Abilis Sweetheart Ball

For the second consecutive year, Arthur Murray Grande Ballroom owner Christine Georgopulo hosted about 10 couples from Abilis for the annual Sweetheart Ball.

Georgopulo and her staff guided the couples as they waltzed and danced the night away on Feb. 13. The event was held at the ballroom on Lewis Street.

The Greenwich-based Abilis with its various programs has been supporting people with disabilities for 65 years.

An Abilis spokesman said that clients spent the days leading up to the dance planning their Valentine-themed outfits.
