The theme for this year’s ball is “Pirates of the Caribbean” and attendees are encouraged to come in their finest pirate garb.

The festivities, which will start at 6 p.m. Oct. 3, include an open bar, dinner and dancing. The event will be at the Assyrian American Civic Club at 2618 N. Golden State Blvd.
