SPRING 2015

Don’t miss the fun!

By Kristi Valentine President & CEO Coppell Chamber of Commerce

The Coppell Community Gala is for everyone, at least all that wants to have a great time, see friends and meet other neighbors from Coppell. This is the 32nd Coppell Community Gala and this year’s theme is “I LOVE NY.” Join us for an evening of games, great dinner, live entertainment, and Live & Silent Auction. Back by popular demand this year, the Good Question Band takes the stage by 9pm.

If you’ve never attended the gala, let this year be the first. I admit I hadn’t attended the Coppell Community Gala before 2013, but now my husband and I look forward to it each year. Need a reason to dress nice and hit the town? You have a Broadway Musical fetish and have been looking for a reason to dress-up as Mary Poppins, a character from Cats or a sailor from South Pacific? This “I LOVE NY” theme lends itself to classic black & white attire (formalwear is optional), Musical Characters’ costumes, or whatever crosses your mind when you think of NYC. Spoiler-Alert---there are some AMAZING items in our Live & Silent Auction this year…golfers might jump on the tickets to the Masters or a private “Byron Nelson Tournament Experience.” If you are interested in a trip for 2 to NYC to catch two Broadway Shows and see the “bright lights/big city,” then you’ll want to make sure you are the highest bidder. We truly have something for everyone this year! We have a bounty of gift cards & certificates to a local restaurants & merchants---purchase a sealed bag for $20 in our Gift Card Pull and you are guaranteed to get a value of $25-$100 in gift cards & certificates.

Get your tickets today! Purchase online at www.coppellchamber.org or by phone at 972-3932829. Sponsorships are still available and we are continuing to accepting donations for the silent auction, too. It’s a great way to market your business to Coppell residents and businesses. Reserved tables are available for 8 or more.
