2nd Annual Green Gala!
The 2nd annual Green Gala was a success!
Imagine a stately 1870’s Georgian mansion, lit by candlelight and decorated with fresh organic flowers. Images of environmental activities and events surround you. Organic wine and local produce are offered in the dining hall where classical music plays in the background. Welcome to the Green Gala. This special event created awareness about Tucker House within the community, engaged volunteers and supporters, and raised nearly $5000 for educational programs. While touring the historic house, guests in vintage cocktail attire were invited to bid on interesting ecological items in both silent and live auctions.
Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers are still need to support the 2010 Green Gala. The Green Gala Team is in the midst of seeking silent auction donations, sponsors, and decorations. Team Captains are needed to help sell tickets prior to the event. Help is also needed on the day of the event for setting up, serving, and more! To volunteer, please contact Green Gala Co-Chair Heather Moxley at greengala@tuckerhouse.ca of call 613-446-2117 x 9.
