Annual gala to benefit the arts

‘Paint the Town Red’, the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce's annual fundraising auction gala, is now less than two weeks ago. This year, the event will benefit the Kirkland Arts Center and the Chamber.

Guests will enjoy a cash bar, food, and a tasting room. They will have the opportunity to bid on 13 centerpieces and participate in raffles for prizes such as vacation packages. There will also be champagne, a wine toss, and entertainment from impersonator Larry Jones.

The recommended dress for this event is cocktail attire, with red being the color of preference. It will be an important networking event for those in the arts and their peers in the business community. There will be plenty of time during the evening to discuss future partnerships and other business matters.

Business leaders from various communities, including nearby Redmond, may decide to attend to have the chance to meet some of their associates and increase their referral networks. Companies that provide business card printing services may find that they have an increase in the number of new orders leading up to this event.

The gala will be taking place at the Heathman Hotel in Kirkland on May 9 from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Tickets are $100 each and tables for 10 are available. To find out the latest information about this gala, contact the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce at 425-822-7066.
