Daintiest Thing Ball 2014
January 16, 2014, during the official Baker Street Irregulars Weekend in NYC, we presented the second annual Daintiest Thing Under a Bonnet Charity Ball, a banquet benefiting Wounded Warrior Project in honor of all our courageous men and women in uniform. We owe inspiration for this event to those who tirelessly serve our country, and to Dr. John Watson, army doctor, whose recovery from the ravages of the Second Afghan War once required the help of an extraordinary friend.

It was hosted at the historic Player’s Club in New York City with a bustling 1940s Basil Rathbone/noir theme. It featured an auction of Sherlockian swag (artwork, rare books, crafts), a quiz, a raffle, a costume competition, and live music.
