Gala/Party

The Saturday evening Gala is a fundraiser event to benefit the New Alexandrian Library. The Gala has always been a great opportunity to create new friendships, renew old friendships, and let your hair down with like-minded people.

The $25 Gala ticket includes sumptuous snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, a performance and dancing. A cash bar will also be available. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door. The Gala is open to non-conference attendees.

The Auction:
There is a silent auction and a mercifully brief live auction to raise funds for the New Alexandrian Library near the end of the night. The bidding happens at the Gala.

What To Wear?

We encourage you to dress up from any time period or place, real…or imagined. Victorian, steampunk, goth, cirque noir, renfaire, and Fae are among the many options for the night. If that doesn’t work then go elegant, formal wear,  leather and lace, or ?

You are one of the stars of the event and what you wear contributes to the mood for all. Even if you don’t have the time or interest to create or buy fanciful garb, we bet that you have something to wear that makes you look amazing.
