Invitation to 3rd Annual Saint Cecilia Gala
Gala 2008
Saturday, April 19, 2008
Gateway Hotel and Conference Center
We invite you to attend the Saint Cecilia Gala on April 19, 2008. Tickets for this event are $75 each, and in addition to a silent auction, a live auction and a wonderful steak dinner, we are pleased to announce that we are bringing to Ames the man described by NBC Nightly News as “amazing”—an auctioneer magician, who specializes in charity fundraisers for non-profit organizations! It promises to be a fun and memorable night—all serving to contribute toward the ambitious goal of raising more money for our Education Endowment Fund! The generosity of the families and friends of the Saint Cecilia Catholic Community has created the beginnings of a growing fund, and wonderful legacy, to ensure a bright future for the religious education programs and school.
| 5:30-7:00 pm | Social hour and viewing of Silent Auction items |
| 7:00 pm | Opening prayer and introductions |
| 7:30 pm | Dinner and Live Auction |
