Gala Acquisitions and Ad Forms

Thanks to a fabulous group of volunteers, Centrum’s Gala fundraising event is well on the way to being a huge success. We are grateful to Kay Goetz and Gail Boulter for Co-Chairing the Acquisition Committee this year and are pleased to support them in their efforts. Committee or community members can download a printable Gala Donation Form to bring or mail in to Centrum. Or in the case of committee members, carry to the next Gala meeting.

Many thanks also to our Ad Co-Chairs Anne Schneider and Molly Klupfell for their work identifying businesses to solicit for support through Ads in the Gala Catalog. We are ever so grateful to the local businesses that understand the value of association with one of the area’s most beloved and creative resources in our community. Ad Committee members or businesses wishing to support Centrum through an ad can download a Gala Ad Form to bring or mail in to Centrum.

On behalf of the staff, board of directors, and all who benefit from Centrum’s programs, we extend much gratitude to the Gala volunteers and the Port Townsend Community for their most generous support of Centrum and its fundraising Gala.
