CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS FOR THE FALL GALA Event
 
My how time flies – the Fall GALA Event is this coming Saturday!  Seems just yesterday that the planning committee was gathering to make plans.  And now is the time that you can offer your assistance – volunteers are being sought to help in decorating the Reedsport Community Building into the spectacular venue that it has become the past two years.
 
Volunteers are needed starting at 3 pm on Thursday, October 25, to help transform the room.  There will be tasks of all sizes---something for everyone---no matter your capability. 
 
Volunteers are also being sought for Saturday starting at 4 pm and throughout the event.  Volunteers are needed on Saturday to assist with the dessert auction, to count votes for the various contests (table decorating and costume), to assist with tickets at the door, and with the silent auction.  Volunteers are also needed during the band portion of the evening starting at 8:30 pm.
 
The Fall Gala "Full Evening" Dinner starts at 5 pm with no-host cocktails, followed by dinner at 6 pm.  The "After Dinner Party" with music by Soulpie is from 9 p.m. to Midnight.  (Full details below.)
 
Costumes are encouraged for this year's "Masked" event, but not required.  Get together with your friends and see what unusual team theme you can create. 
 
Limited seating.  Get your tickets for the CDABA's Halloween GALA Dinner / Dance from the Mindpower Gallery – old downtown Reedsport.
 
All events held at:
Reedsport Community Center
451 Winchester Avenue, Reedsport, OR 97467
 
All proceeds will benefit CDABA and its community programs, such as the Confluence Fountain, First Friday...Art is for Everyone, Art Walk, and Art Academy classes.  Contact Tamara Szalewski at Mindpower Gallery at 271-2485 for tickets or to learn how to sponsor the event.
