11th Annual OPAL Gala Is On Its Way
Friday, July 13, 2007
The 11th Annual OPAL Gala is well on its way to being an event that you won’t want to miss.
This year’s Gala emcee, Georgia Ragsdale, is an exciting, animated, and stimulating personality who promises to entertain and guide us through an evening dedicated to celebrating the 18th anniversary of the Oak Park Area Lesbian and Gay Association; to empowering unity of spirit and purpose; and to honoring the dignity and integrity of our community through the presentation of the Oak Park Area Leadership Awards.
This year’s setting is the elegant Elmcrest Banquets by Biancalana, 7370 W. Grand Avenue, Elmwood Park, host of previous OPAL Galas. From the moment you enter, you will be treated to an elegant atmosphere where we know your every need will be met and where hospitality will be your best dish.
The evening will begin with cocktails and waiter-served hors d’oeuvres at 6:00 p.m. Dinner will be served at 8:00 p.m. and includes a choice of succulent prime rib, savory chicken marsala, or aromatic eggplant parmesan; salad; and dessert.
Tickets are $125.00 per person and include an open bar. A raffle and both a live and silent auction will be offered as part of the evening’s activities. Attendees will also receive a free one-year subscription to the popular weekly, TimeOut Chicago. The subscription is for 51 issues and is a $19.99 value.
Please join us for an evening of fun, friendship, and “family” by ordering your tickets today from The OPALGA Center, 947 Garfield St., Oak Park, 60304, (708) 848-0273.
