Glitz…Glamour…Good Times at the inaugural Arcademy Gala!

February 9, 2008

It was a big night of big fun for the 500 attendees at the first-ever Arcademy Gala held at the Crowne Plaza in downtown St. Paul. Guests were entertained by Jearlyn Steele, M.A. Rosko, Lorna Landvik, Kevin Kling, Interact and Vic Volare and the Volare Lounge Orchestra. Gala goers also had the opportunity to bid on over 125 silent auction items and on seven fabulous packages auctioned off live during the program. Participants generously contributed to a special Fund-a-Need auction in support of Arc’s Sibling Programs as well. Kudos to Ann Verme, Gala Chair; Paula Kelly and Susan McMullan, Silent Auction co-chairs, and the many volunteers who contributed to making the Gala a huge success!
