  We cordially invite you to two evening events for those not attending our conference. Friday is our kick-off event with our keynote speaker, followed by a lovely performance and social time with appetizers.

  On Saturday, it is our much anticipated GALA with awards, silent auction, a performance, a DJ, dancing, and a three-course meal!
