Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity building anticipation for its New Year's Eve fundraiser By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
plete night of celebration.
(Seguin) -- Time is running out this year for you to get your hands on tickets for this year's Roaring 20's New Year's Eve Party.
"Your ticket includes a complimentary champagne toast at midnight, food and a fun night of jazz and dancing," said Zwicke.
The party is being hosted by Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity.
Zwicke says the fundraising effort is just another opportunity for Habitat for Humanity to turn up its fundraising efforts for the coming year. She says the event is in response to the new goals set for 2020.
Promoting the event is new Habitat for Humanity Director Madeline Zwicke. Zwicke says the group has been working to make Dec. 31 a memorable event. "It's a Roaring Twenties New Year's Eve Party. It's a fundraiser benefiting Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity. It's going to be at the Aumont in the Rose Ballroom just off of Austin Street New Year's Eve from 8 to 12:30 a.m. We are going to have a silent auction. There's going to be food, drinks. There's going to be a jazz band. Choo-Cha Booch will be playing all night and it's a Roaring Twenties theme so 20s attire is encouraged but you don't have to dress up
20s, we just encourage it for a little more fun and then all the proceeds from that event are going directly to our firs build in 2020," said Zwicke. Zwicke says the party will be the group's first large fundraising event. She says the group wanted to make sure it provided the community with yet another way to support the
building program. "This is our first time doing this New Year's Eve fundraiser and to do a big fundraiser too -- we haven't had anything that we do annually so this is our annual event that we are kicking off this year," said Zwicke. Zwicke says tickets are $60 a person and includes a com-
"In the past, we've been building two homes per year. In 2020, we are looking to build a third so we are going to need more funds, more help from the community, more volunteers to get that third house built," said Zwicke. The event, again, will be held from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 31 at the Aumont. Tickets are available now at Serenity Boutique, The Shop & Design Associates, Gift and Gourmet or online through the link www.eventbrite.com.
