Take this quiz: Questions: What upcoming party has games that include a kicking and passing contest on the field of America’s Team? When you spring for the high-dollar table, what event will offer partying in the players’ locker room of the most famous team in the NFL? What ticket can you buy to see — without the frenzy of a football game — the largest domed stadium in the world, the world’s largest column-free interior and the largest video screen? Which shindig on your party list includes an elegant seated dinner and breakfast, valet parking and an open bar with your ticket? Name the event that will have a terrific house band and a concert on the main stage by a big-name entertainer. Where can you bid on two days at the Masters golf tournament with first-class accommodations at the historic Perrin Place plantation? If you want a chance to have Wolfgang Puck prepare a dinner for 40 guests in your home and personally introduce each course, which party must you attend? If you love the music of Starship (remember We Built This City?) and Mickey Thomas, where is the band’s next live concert? Where do you go to purchase a seven-night Caribbean voyage on a beautiful yacht? If getting a personalized treatment plan for you and nine friends by a highly respected plastic surgeon sounds appealing, what event offers this package? To hear Johnny D and the Doo Wops perform great covers from the ’50s and ’60s, what ticket must you buy? Where will a stay in a luxury home at the Poipu Kai Resort be up for bid? To celebrate a half-century of providing service to Arlington’s at-risk youth, where should you go?

Answers to the quiz: The 50th on the 50 Anniversary party for the Arlington Boys & Girls Club at Cowboys Stadium on Oct. 30.

Chairs Judy Rupay and Laura DiStefano and a committee that includes Stuart Balcom, Dana Queenan, Jim Reeder, Marty Reiswig, John Rhadigan, Karen Bass, Nadia Alareksoussi and Scott Kersh, to name only a few, have worked for a year to make this the night to remember for charity parties in the Metroplex with a "nothing’s impossible" attitude in planning excitement for guests at the event. Call Michael Gonzales at 817-275-6551 or visit www.50thonthe50.com to make arrangements to be among the crowd at this special occasion.

Fashion Rocks! Get your calendar and reserve Nov. 6 for the best ladies luncheon and fashion show of the year. The Holiday Magic gift market will again kick off three days of shopping with this fabulous event, which offers private shopping previews for the guests before the fashion invasion of epic proportions. Show chairs Jennifer Loafman and Ramey Chupp have worked with Belinda and Karl Marshall Productions and eight chic boutiques that will have gorgeous models strutting down the runway wearing fashions that everyone in the audience will be sure to adore. CBS 11 news anchor Karen Borta will host the show, and the scrumptious luncheon at the Grand Ballroom at the Arlington Convention Center no doubt will please every palate.

Kids will love Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree children’s parties Nov. 6 and 7. Besides private meetings with Santa, they’ll journey through The Polar Express story and wrap up the fun with yummy goodies and craft projects.

Teens will rock out while fashions from Dillard’s and DJ Rock-T from the Rickey Smiley Morning Show keep the audience enthralled at the Jingle Bell Rock Teen Fashion Show on Nov. 8. Reservations are required, so get tickets for all three events at 817-277-9481 or check out the details at www.jlarlington.org.
