The Supper Club format for our 2024 gala was more festive than ever. We had wonderful food catered by Mr. and Mrs. P's, fun decorations from Back Porch Gatherings, and musical interludes with Jazz legends Mardra and Reggie Thomas!

Thanks to the hard work of the Gala Committee, it was a chance for us all to come together, raise a glass to a wonderful season, and raise funds to support the mission.

Auction items included trip packages to Chicago for Lyric Opera and Chicago Symphony, Wisconsin Supper club gift certificates, Jazz Coterie tickets, a Brandy Old Fashioned evening, and fine artworks, including signed Donna Summer lithograph, antique Chinese paper painting, glass art vases from the estate of Gladys Veidemanis, and--of course--After the Storm, our entrancing season artwork by Pat Dobrinska.

We also offered chances to join lead sponsor Mary Lofgren and support our educational programs, including the Chamber Music Institute, the Children's Chorus, the Choral Institute, and the Composer Residency. This gala makes all of GLFM's mission possible.
