Today’s throwback photo from Dec. 8, 1989, shows the very first Gala committee making plans for the first Gala fundraising event held in 1990.

The caption reads: Plans are underway for Gala ‘90, an evening of catered dining and fun to be held at Garrigan on April 21. The evening will feature oral and silent auctions of some 220 high-appeal items. One lucky Gala-goer will even drive off in a new car!
