The Harvest Gala
Posted by PetraMartin on Sep 29, 2011 in Featured Articles | 1 comment
Our first ever dinner-auction exceeded everyone’s expectations. Love for each other, our community, and the Commons was palpable in the room the evening of October 29, and those in attendance put legs on that love. The event raised more than $35,000–half the donations we rely on to continue bringing you the programs that you enjoy.
In fact, it was so successful that we plan to have another Harvest Gala in 2012. Mark your calendar now for the evening of October 27. See you there!

We shall have fun
That is for certain
We’ll laugh a lot
With nobody hurtin’
We’ll raise our paddles
We’ll raise our glasses
We’ll use our pens
For silent auction dashes
We’ll see some friends
We’ll hug some too
A great evening it shall be
Especially with you!
