We have changed our Gala Reservations to a more capable Event Management Software. There may be some adjustment issues so please be patient.

This new software by ZEFFY will save the charitable foundation a significant amount of money.

One change is... we cannot enter your credit card information into this system... YOU MUST DO THAT!

The system is completely secure but if you are concerned about anything please just mail in your reservation with a check.

ALL Sponsorships should be mailed in with a check, please.
