Friday, August 22
7pm-midnight INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FUND RAISER Musica, Downtown Akron Contact Delores at DDelores9@aol.com Remember those old boring galas where people stood around and maybe
drank a little, had dinner and bid on some auction stuff and we
stood around with nothing much to do until the crowd descended upon
us in hoards? Well, the IIA is making that all go away with their
new, let's-have-some-fun attitude. No more auction. No stodgy
dinner. No stuffy cocktail hour. This year's event will be games
galore, music galore and fun with a capital F. WWii stations, putter
golf holes, Latin music on stage, dancing in the aisles...this year
does sound like fun and SVWR has been asked to provide volunteers.
We would man the game stations and monitor the guests, maybe help
with guest traffic during the event. AND we're invited to eat with
the guests and participate where appropriate. No counting cash - no
auction check out! Whee! |
