The Circle of Friends is planning a Vegas Baby! themed Benefit on February 4, 2017 to support Kidspace Children’s Museum. For the second year, the benefit will be held at Annandale Country Club where guests will be treated to dinner, dancing and a live auction.
“This year, we are celebrating the city that never sleeps with Vegas Baby!” Circle of Friends President Tricia Nur said. “Every year we aim to celebrate Kidspace with an epic event and this year is no different. The benefit chairs, Kate Kohorst and Ellie Richardson, are working incredibly hard along with their committees to ensure everyone who walks in the door at Annandale feels like a high roller. We have wonderful live and silent auction items, one of a kind entertainment and incredible patron support. It will be a night to remember.”
“We are so incredibly excited to be hosting our guests for “Vegas Baby!” All the Ladies of the Circle of Friends have tirelessly worked to bring to our patrons an exceptional evening of dining and entertainment. It is our hope that we raise much needed funds to support the Museum in its goal to bring forth educational services and activities to all children in our community”, said event co-chairs, Kate Kohorst and Ellie Richardson. “There are fabulous auction items as well an amazing band for everyone to dance the night away.
