Gala Attendee-
We are less than 24 hours away from our event! We are so excited to have you join us for our 2nd annual Love of Learning Gala!
We wanted to go over a few house keeping items before the big night!
1.) More than anything, our goal is everyone’s safety at the event. If you are attending, you will be asked to wash your hands thoroughly upon your arrival to the event. We will also have ample hand sanitizer available throughout the venue. Our attendance will be less than 150 people.
2.) The weather tomorrow is supposed to be perfect! It will be a crisp 45 degrees at the beginning of the event and no chance of snow so far!
3.) Our wonderful event will be catered by Mission Catering. If you’ve never had their food, you’re in for a treat! Mission Catering is a social enterprise of Springs Rescue Mission. So, when you choose to dine with us, you’re also helping to feed, shelter and clothe our homeless neighbors in Colorado Springs. Your business also brings hours of vocational culinary experience to men building careers through the New Life Program at SRM. They have prepared a fabulous meal for us, the buffet menu will be as follows: Double Entrée with Chicken Parmesan and Roast Beef, seasonal vegetable, potato side, rolls and butter, and dessert will be a chocolate mousse.
At the event, we will be accepting credit card and cash payments only, no checks please!
The following is a re-cap of the items you may purchase additionally at the event:
$20/strand for heads and tails beads (limit 2 per person), $10/pull for the wine pull, unlimited opportunities, drink tickets ($2/soda, $5/beer or wine, $7/ mixed drink/ cocktail—please remember to tip your bartenders. They will have tip jars available or you have the option to tip on credit card purchases)
For those who are VIP ticket holders, the doors will open at 4pm, and for those who are General Admission Ticket Holders, the doors will open at 5pm.
As a reminder, our silent auction will be virtual. If you are not able to attend the event, please consider participating in our silent auction. We will communicate further instructions for those who win items the night of the event but aren’t in person to take them home.
