Dinner and show a winning number

San Jose Mercury News

In March, Ballet San Jose found two essential ingredients for success, courtesy of local philanthropist John Fry: a $1 million donation that erased much of the company's debt -- and leadership, when Fry agreed to chair the board. <a href=http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/10244341.htm target=_blank>more</a>
