The 2011 Music Center Gala
An Evening in Paris

Saturday, November 12, 7pm
Battle Creek Country Club

Join us at the Battle Creek Country Club on Saturday, November 12, for an evening in Paris as the Music Center presents its 2011 Gala, “C’est  Si Bon.”  Paris-born cabaret singer Claudia Hommel, who has delighted audiences at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival and across the Midwest, will be our featured artist.  One of America’s favorite singers of French song, Claudia has been described as “a latter-day female Maurice Chevalier, the quintessential French entertainer.”  Both a raffle and silent auction will offer many bargains and unique opportunities.  Kathy Tarr and Ed Zentera will emcee the festivities.

The price is $75 per person ($45 tax deductible.)  Social hour begins at 7:00 pm and dinner will be served at 7:45.  Two menu selections are available and reservations are due by November 2. Tables are for eight, ten, or twelve; to sit together, please register together.  Call (269) 963-1911 x 2538 to reserve your place for this special event.
