GALA recaP

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the band and made the Gala an extremely successful event.  (A separate message will be sent acknowledging those who volunteered their time to this event.) The music was fabulous, all indications are that everyone enjoyed themselves, and we raised some much needed funds from the ticket sales, auction and raffle!  All numbers are not in yet, but estimates indicate that approximately 550 gala tickets were sold and approximately $7000.00 was cleared!  What a great job! Simply awesome!
