More than 410 guests, clad in flapper dresses, feathers, pinstripe suites and fedoras, stepped back in time Saturday for Crystal Cove Alliance's 7th Annual Gala:  Prohibition Party & Jazz on the Beach.  The early 1930's theme transformed the cove into an exclusive speakeasy in honor of the beach community's development during the Prohibition era.  The event netted $180,000 to help fund CCA's mission of preservation and continued restoration of the area as well as the expansion of our educational programs.
