Gala International - "Festival of Cultures"

15th Annual GalaAnticipation is building for the 15th Annual Alameda County Health Care Foundation Gala Benefit to be held this year on Saturday, June 11, 2005, at the Rotunda Building, Oakland. Do you have an international costume or native dress from a country you would like to honor? Wear it to the Festival of Cultures! Festivities will start at 6 PM as costumed stilt walkers greet the arriving guests.

During the reception, guests will have the opportunity to bid on fabulous items from the silent auction: Skybox tickets for A’s games, footballs personally signed by Jerry Rice, Giants' game tickets, wines, restaurant meals, museum tickets, guitar lessons, website design, botox injections, facial peels, tooth whitening treatments, spa services, art works, gift baskets, gift certificates, books, etc. There will be something of interest for everyone, so be prepared to come home with treasures!

And speaking of treasures--the ACMC Department of Anesthesiology will sponsor a raffle for a real treasure chest.
