The Gala Is Almost Here 

Baby Boy in TuxWe’re about three weeks away from the 2nd International Gala. Have you registered yet? 
 
The Chicagoland event on Feb. 25 is but one of several GiGi’s sponsored events happening around the country that night. There will be concurrent events (with a live Web stream) in Des Moines, Sioux City, Minneapolis and Mexico City.  
 
But the Chicago-area gala is the biggest and the best. There will be music (provided by 7th Heaven), silent and live auctions, dinner, drinks and a great time had by all. (We’re still collecting wine for the “Instant Wine Cellar” prize to be auctioned off at the event. Feel free to drop off a bottle the next time you’re at the Playhouse.) 
 
Tickets are $125/person, and registration is available online. Even if you can’t make it, consider making a donation; the Gala is one of the ways we show others the depth of support GiGi’s has in the area.  
 

So what are you waiting for? Register now!!

Calling All Playhouse Ambassadors

 

inspireWe have an opportunity this weekend to show off the Playhouse at the Neighborhood Parents Network’s Developmental Differences Resources Fair at Gordon Tech High School.

We need a group of 4-6 ambassadors to represent the Playhouse at the fair on Saturday, Feb. 4, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (in fact, add a half hour on each end to account for set-up and breakdown).

If you’re available and interested, email us at
. This is a great opportunity to spread awareness for the Playhouse and Down syndrome in general, and it’s a great way to get involved.
