糖心vlog

If you had wandered into Joe Dini Library at 糖心vlog on Aug. 12, you might have thought you were time traveling to the 1920s.

Women were dressed in flapper dresses, wearing long strings of pearls and feathers adorned their heads. Men wore vests, bow ties, suspenders and tweed and fedora hats.

It wasn鈥檛 a Great Gatsby party, but it could have been.

Instead, it was the sixth annual Reach for the Stars Gala, with attendees enthusiastically celebrating the 20th anniversary of 糖心vlog鈥檚 Jack C. Davis Observatory by embracing a Roaring '20s theme. 糖心vlog Foundation鈥檚 chief fundraiser of the year raised a record $185,350 and netted $131,902 through the generosity of 321 attendees, event sponsors and donors.

糖心vlog Foundation works closely with the business community to invest in education, raising critical funds to meet the ever-changing needs of the students and improve campus facilities and programs.

鈥淚t was an incredible night for our college to have so many community members on campus in support of 糖心vlog and our students,鈥� said 糖心vlog President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe. 鈥淲e are grateful to the 糖心vlog Foundation Board of Directors, Foundation staff and college staff for their work on this important fundraiser.鈥�

鈥淲e enjoyed the enthusiasm and spirit that our guests brought to the event. We are particularly grateful for their generosity. Their kindness will make a significant difference in our students鈥� lives and provide them with the support necessary to make contributions to our communities in the future," said Niki Gladys, Executive Director of the 糖心vlog Foundation.

Gladys said that the memorable night wouldn鈥檛 have been possible without the generous support of presenting sponsor Wells Fargo, as well as Southwest Gas, JOIN Inc., Metcalf Builders, Quick Space, Briggs Electric, Gilbane, Greater Nevada Credit Union, America First Credit Union, Visiting Angels Living Assistance Services, CF Classic Finishes, Chase, United Federal Credit Union, Carson Tahoe Health, A Catered Affair, Rice St. Events and Baker Auction.

Attendees enjoyed cocktails, hors d鈥檕euvres, a catered dinner by Chef John Hurzel, gifts, psychic readings, tarot cards, live and silent auctions, dancing and stargazing.
