5th Annual Gala
St. Michael in Old Town 's 5th Annual Gala was held on
April 10, 2010 at Galleria Marchetti. Guests enjoyed a
cocktail hour, followed by a four-course dinner, with
music provided by the After Five Orchestra. Liz and Paul
Cassidy received the Tony Berent Award, given to a
parishioner who embodies the selfless spirit of Tony
Berent, a wonderful man who gave constantly of himself
to the good of our parish, and Fr. Ken Sedlak received
the St. Alphonsus Liguori Award, which is given to a
Redemptorist who exemplifies the Alphonsian spirit of
service and proclamation of the Good News. Attendees
also participated in the evening's auctions, including a
live auction, which was presided over by auctioneer,
Steve Zick. As the
pictures from the evening reflect, a good time was
had by all!
The Communications & Special Events Commission would like to thank all who made this year's event a great success and a wonderful celebration for our parish community, especially Gala Coordinator, Natalie Ziegenhagen, Auction Coordinator, Fran Khoury, and Emcee, Joe Fitzpatrick. The Commission also thanks all who volunteered their time in organizing the event -- those who solicited donations, helped to organize the auction, set up on the day of the event and worked during it. We also owe a great deal of gratitude to all of the generous donors who contributed to the auctions, the program book, and the gift bags. We encourage our parishioners to remember them with their patronage and support. Finally, thanks to everyone who attended this year's Gala. We look forward to seeing you all next year!
