Description
Join Black Hawk College Foundation for Telling Our Stories G*A*L*A, an evening celebrating community partnerships. The 2018 gala promises another unique and inspiring event highlighting our community partners, this year Black Hawk College’s new Surgical Tech program. Step back in time as we showcase our country’s military history and introduce you to special people who honor those who served in times of war. We will transport you to the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in the midst of the Korean War. Tour beautiful tropical flora. View the handiwork of the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild and their touching Quilts of Valor. Enjoy swing-style musical entertainment and 1950’s military décor and attire. Features a keynote presentation by Martha Roskam who spent years researching service members and tracking down the veterans and families of lost military members to return lost dog tags to the rightful owners. Entertainment includes The Manny Lopez Big Band, Wine Pull, and Silent Auction. Proceeds to benefit the Black Hawk College Surgical Tech Program and Black Hawk College Foundation. Business/cocktail attire welcome, 1950’s military attire encouraged. Catered by Bridges Catering. Cash bar available. Kindly reply before November 8, 2018- seating limited
