This event will be a combination of three fundraisers into one. (banquet, dinner dance, and 5K) We are currently in need of Sponsors and Tables Hosts. All guests will have an opportunity to raise money by gathering pledges. The top three people who raise the most money in pledges will have a chance to win a special prize! Pledges will be due one week before the event. Pledges received after the due date will not be eligible for the prizes! (This is the 5K portion.)
Kim will speak briefly and show a short video. An appeal from the heart that evening will be made in lieu of ticket sales. (This is the Banquet portion.)
New Ideas Just for this Special Event:
*The three table hosts with the highest total of money collected from the appeal the night of the event will receive a special prize. We are looking for help with these major prize donations to entice participation!!! Do you have connections for a time share vacation or cruise for two? How about an overnight stay, show tickets, restaurant gift cards. Please contact Kim or Donna asap if you have any leads on major prizes!
Restaurants on board- El Chico (Mexican), Taste of India (Indian), Harbor City Diner (Greek), Island Fish Grill (Island Flavors), The Dove (Italian), Nomad Café (will fill in with taste not already secured), Danny Q (American), and the newest restaurant is Djon’s (French). Yellow Dog will be hosting the dessert party for the table hosts at our community building on Jan. 6 and providing dessert for the dessert table.
We are looking for local clubs to take on decorating the "World Flavor" tables. Greek Club to decorate the Greek area, Italian Club to decorate the Italian area and so on and possibly serve the food in the areas where the restaurants may need some help.
Kim is reaching out to local dance studios for dance exhibitions to represent the countries.
Kim is also working on Wine Tasting and Beer sampling to round out the night. Can you help with this?
DJ Rick has been secured again this year. We will do our "Diamond Moment" at this event as well...always a popular special activity. Melanie Delman (and friends) will be putting together her famous, beautiful and decadent dessert table. (Dinner Dance portion.)
If you are interested in volunteering for this special evening...contact Kim or Donna asap.
