The Plano Symphony Orchestra presents: 2011 Valentine Gala, “La Dolce Vita”
November 1, 2010, Plano, TX – It’s not too early to plan. Mark your calendar for February 12, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. for the Plano Symphony Orchestra’s 2011 Valentine Gala, La Dolce Vita. For a memorable Valentine’s evening, join in the fun at the Hotel Intercontinental Dallas, 15201 Dallas Parkway in Addison, to enjoy social hour, dine and dance the night away in the Malachite Room with Limelight, an Emerald City band.
Dr. Betty and James Muns are co-chairs of the 2011 Valentine Gala Committee that are planning an entertaining and beautiful event that will include silent and live auctions with beautiful hand crafted jewelry, fabulous vacation trips, sports memorabilia and much more. Phillip Pierceall of Swing City Auction Company will be the auctioneer who will engage everyone in lively auction games too.
“The Valentine Gala is the signature fundraising event for your Plano Symphony. Only 30% of the Symphony’s funding comes from concert ticket sales. We depend on this event and the generosity of sponsors, individuals, grants and the City of Plano to meet our operating costs,” stated Executive Director Alice Hobbs. “The wonderful education and concert program the Symphony offers area schools is just one example of a program that depends on funding we get from events such as the Gala.”
Valentine Gala sponsors for the 2011 event include Ebby Halliday Realtors, Inc, Beverly and Jerry Lancaster, Dr. Betty and James Muns, the Varrichio Family Foundation, Texas Health Resources, Laura and Scott Morris, Jenny McCall, Arts of Collin County, Advanced Dental Center of Excellence, Hunt Construction, Sherman Anderson, The Dallas Morning News, SMU in Plano, and the City of Plano.
“We are always in awe of the many ways the Plano Symphony Orchestra elevates the quality of life in our community through music. And, it is so easy to get involved. One way is to join us at the Gala,” expressed Dr. Betty Muns.
To make reservations for the 2011 Valentine Gala call the Plano Symphony Orchestra Ticket Office at 972-473-7262, or visit www.planosymphony.org. Reservations are $125.00 per person.
